this is the w.'s lie from u.s. president donald trump promises a decision on syria fairly soon fears of a confrontation with syria's main ally russia has been growing since mr trump said on wednesday that missiles will be coming also on the program the world's largest cock like it removes its chief executive for a long time inside. out of a diesel it has to be double restructures its management in the wake of the diesel cheating scandal. is around its holocaust remembrance day the biggest nazi death

camp the nation's president at the annual march of the living but this year there was tension. i'm so glad welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump says decisions will be made fairly soon about how to respond to these suspected poison gas attack in syria fears of a confrontation between the the west and serious man i russia have been growing since the president said on wednesday that missiles will be coming that missiles will be coming here's what he said today. we're looking very very seriously very closely at that whole situation and. we'll see what happens folks we'll see what happens it's too bad that the world puts us in a position like that but you know as i said this morning we've done a great job with isis we have just absolutely decimated isis but now we have to

make some further decisions so they'll be made fairly soon thank you all very much . in france meanwhile president emanuel macro says he has proof that the syrian government carried out last weekend's chlorine gas attack is mccrone did not cite whether france was planning military action against president assad's government but said he had spoken several times with president trump about the most effective response. carrier and land based french jets would likely play a central role in any strike against syria coordinated by nato allies the us britain and france. for the french president emmanuel mccaw he could just be a question of when macro insists he has proof the asset regime used chemical weapons against its own citizens a little and of duma and he says france wants to remove syria's chemical weapons capabilities. france will not allow an escalation or anything that could damage the

stability of the region but we cannot let regimes do anything they want especially not crimes against international law. on the streets of paris opinion is divided on whether france should take part in any strike on syria. what the syrian dictator is inflicting on his people is frightening as far as france is concerned an intervention is legitimate and he wants. the russians should say clearly to assad now you must stop and you should get out then we would avoid a conflict but if we strike the russians will be obliged to respond. there will never be strikes. because france and europe are scared of russia. the russians provide us with gas. but we don't. britain's royal air force would also likely join a strike on syria all the indications are that the syrian regime was responsible and we will be working with our places stylised on how we can ensure that those who

are responsible are held to account and how we can prevent and to to the humanitarian catastrophe that comes with the use of chemical weapons in the future the continued use of chemical weapons cannot go unchallenged british ministers have been holding a special cabinet meeting to discuss joining possible military action against syria the prime minister would not need the approval of parliament to give the go ahead for strikes. let's get more on this from new york times a london correspondent stephen cassel stephen welcome to day w three c. may has summoned her cabinet to decide how to respond to the suspected chemical weapons attack what do you expect to come out of that meeting well actually the meeting is ended now we lost more than two hours which is an indicator of the seriousness of the issues on the table and we in the last few minutes we just had a statement from downing street in which it says the cabinet agreed that it was

highly likely the regime was responsible for the chemical attacks it said that the cabinet agreed all the need to deter the further use of chemical weapons and that it confirmed that tourism a would as it really continue to work with allies to coordinate an international response so it's quite a tough statement but it's not a clear indication of precisely what is going to unfold or what went on full glare next few hours or days so nothing mentioned about us military action because that would be a tough sell at the moment time i would imagine. indeed there is no clear indication that britain will join military action on one month's a sat once assessment has to be that if the united states and if from our head britain certainly want to be involved but two questions probably uppermost into

reason his mind the first is a domestic political question whether even though she's not bound to do so she elects to to get to go to parliament to get approval for any military action the second question is a broader question that is really whether this see these an passed out of will coordinated and cohesive strategy and that was the criticism in twenty thirteen when parliament refused david cameron his request to make similar strikes in syria . as so over the weekend and in the can the coming days they do what they wait to see what america does and try to use and sort of gauge the temperature in parliament and across the country because of course the big shadow looming over this was the whole business and iraq where these weapons of mass destruction that did not materialize if he hama i don't think we could reach too much from the statement i mean it's possible for example if the united states wants to go ahead

with military action tonight i'm sure the british we're joined in there is an advantage to juries and then a moment in the parliament isn't sittings in some respects the longer this goes on the longer the will be for critics august and to make their points already of the labor party leader jeremy corbyn has been very critical and has asked for a parliamentary approval and so invited some conservative m.p.'s the real difficulty of trees lay is that actually she has almost no working majority in parliament so she can actually predict how a vote in parliament will go if it comes to oil. stephen castle for the new york times in london thanks so much for joining the doubly so we've heard the views from america france and britain to germany now one of the countries that chance and i'm going back to germany would not take part in any missile strikes on syria.

would germany will not exist today and i had an awful military action but i want to stress again that no decision has been made on this but we acknowledge and support that everything has to be done to signal that this use of chemical weapons is unacceptable. to some of the other stories making news around the world human rights group amnesty international says the number of reported judicial executions around the world fell a jerk last year but they warn that the true number of people put to death by governments is not know since some countries treat executions statistics a state secrets. the international law weapons chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w. has confirmed that former russian spy service cryptologist doctor yulia were poisoned with a nerve agent in the inner city of souls break however they stopped short of naming

the substance and did not say where it was produced. funerals have been held in algeria alone any of the two hundred fifty seven people killed in a plane crash shortly after takeoff on wednesday most of the victims were soldiers and family members accidents is the worst aviation disaster in algeria's history or thors have declared three days of mourning. the rumors have been confirmed in a major state i had a major management shakeup but d.c. will become vokes fog and new chief executive officer governors board agree on the form of brand managers appointment should be effective immediately places them or is believed to be remaining with the company until twenty twenty. company's headquarters and is headquartered in the vaults but d.-w. corresponds to beardsley is that welcome stephen is this decision now done and finally. it is done finally was taken today in the confirmation

has come out we've heard it have a d.s. is taking over for. mueller suspected as has been telegraphed for the better part of this week and of course that sort of shows you how volkswagen wanted to proceed with this it was known days ago this was going to happen the level of the word that was coming out the specificity of the detail show that they wanted to sort of pave the way for what was seen as sort of a transition from one to the other there was no scandal that provoked this it's something that has been in discussions for a while and is seen as a cost cutter that's his reputation so he'll be coming on for. mueller who was seen as the go to the savior for folks who are going at its lowest moment so it will be interesting to see hopefully tomorrow at the press conference what we can learn more about have a d.s. other we don't already know he came from b.m.w. over two and

a half years ago and he he now leads as he had hoped to when he first came over his star had dimmed a little bit in the chaos of the diesel scandal and with some back and forth with the unions here again known as a cost cutting that could be a concern for workers here so again hope to learn more in the coming days volkswagen still has numerous legal cases still open regarding the diesel gate this scandal i can't shake off the tight. there's a lot of belief that that's what that's exactly what this change is aimed at again much has miller was brought on to take the company through its lowest moment and it's obviously seen that that has is it's believed that this decision was made because volkswagen believes that that moment has passed that it is safe again and in many objective measures by many objective measures it is it sales are up it's

record profits right now it is the largest car maker in the world having be toyota in two thousand and sixteen and maintain the title last year and it has achieved many of the goals that it sought under mueller including the further electrification of its cars and improving its business at position in the u.s. and in china and again you have to remember that there was a big question of the w.'s there was an existential question facing v.w. in two thousand and fifteen when mueller came on and now that's not a question anymore so you can see that this is an effort to move forward to say we've put that chapter behind us saying basically involved thank you. israel has been marking its holocaust remembrance day remembering the six million jews murdered across europe by the nazi regime present reuven rivlin was amongst thousands of people taking part in the annual march of the living at auschwitz in poland the site of one of the most notorious death camps recent polish legislation
