we need more photographers starting may third on t w. you're watching the daily news line from berlin divisions over syria deep into the u.n. security council members rejects a russian resolution to condemn the western missile attack on alleges chemical weapons by its fifth as u.s. president donald trump proclaims mission accomplished but will the intervention change the course of the war also on the program. speaking with

a woman who can speak no more a friend of mary ellen feingold defies death tracks in search of answers in the killing of the popular leo councilwoman. peasants of hong garion take to the streets and i'm sure a prime minister viktor orban landslide reelection there demanding a recount and an overhaul of the country's electoral system. i'm out on a welcome to the program well the u.n. security council has rejected a base from russia to condemn the air strikes on syria carried a by the u.s. the u.k. and france russia calls the emergency meeting over what it said was an illegal use of forth and the u.s. says that the operation crippled syria's chemical weapons program and war and its forces are locked and loaded us ready for more strikes if damascus uses poison gas

again all it took was a show of hands to go in but are. and with that russia failed in his bid to get the united nations to condemn the u.s. led strikes in syria sort of cynical the stay in a group of western countries decided to take military action without waiting for the results of the investigation russia condemns in the strongest possible terms the attack against syria where russian military personnel are assisting the legitimate government in its counterterrorism efforts i spoke to the president this morning and he said if the syrian regime uses this poisonous gas again the united states is a lot and loaded when our president draws a red line our president enforces the red line. that in force meant came in the early hours of saturday when u.s. french and british forces launched more than one hundred missiles at what they said

were chemical bunkers in syria it was their response to last week's suspected gas attack the white house declared its mission accomplished and showed off satellite images of the destruction yet those on the ground said that this building at least was not a chemical weapons site. if there were chemical weapons in the building we would not be here my colleagues and i came here at five o'clock this morning if there were chemical weapons we would need to wear masks and take other protective measures to even be standing here. the only people who would be able to provide clarity in this war of claim and counterclaim would be independent experts but they are unlikely to ever get the chance to look a president on the u.s. military commanders are hailing the operation a success but questions about the u.s.

strategy on syria remain deadly as alexandra phenomenon has more from washington. president still no trump was very quick to the clear success after the strikes against syria tweeting mission accomplished a phrase that invited unwelcome comparisons to george w. bush and he's experiences in iraq for no trumps campaign seems to be successful the you asked was able to send a clear signal to syria and its patrons and to avoid a direct confrontation with the russians and the pentagon is confident that it has crippled assad's chemical weapons program but the question remains what is exactly the mission and what is president's tromps strategy on syria and more and more lawmakers on both sides of the aisle demand answers criticizing the president's position as inconsistent and saying that the broader strategy is needed

. that was you know that is washington bureau chief alexandra phenomena are never going to cross over to journalists for who is following developments in syria from neighboring lebanon and we heard from washington there president says it's mission accomplished what exactly was domination it wasn't an attempt to unseat president asad was us. no it certainly was not in fact us and their knowledge from have been that regime change is not their goal and dollar campaign has again said that the us troops would be getting out and that middle east is a troubled region in that america cannot resolve all of these problems now what was the mission that is a very very important question from what we understand from the tweeds of dollars from the mission was to ensure that the assad regime does not induct any more chemical attacks on the syrian people if indeed they have in the past done that in

some cases the c.w. the organizations that were shipping the weapons in fact has been the blame on the city and regina has donald trump achieved that goal analysts and experts say that has not been done because even though all the number of missiles the stunning one double than the ones last year that dollar trump city where it is still seen as a lame hit it is not seen as a strong strike as donald trump promised in this tweet and is unlikely to change any real policy on the ground for the syrians and what about the syrians themselves what are they saying one of the different sides saying about the airstrikes. well on the ground in damascus resource against get out in support of president bashar al assad i've been to syria and i had seen such an amount of support for him but most people are reluctant and most people would have stood up seeking more

political and economic right when america back syria there's also certain nationalists for then citizens and on the ground against america as syrians whether they support assad the not but yesterday they were not supporting him so they're against the strikes but of course half of syrians are refugees and they give blood and these five million are by the end blast and six million are internally displaced these people who were to hit the regime to change these people have brought us up to go they of course want the chemical weapons attack stop but they also want the artillery and other bombardment to stop so when donald trump says that my goal is limited to stopping the chemical weapons attack then already happy they don't really see the strikes yesterday as much useful to their costs so the majority of syrian theme unhappy then essentially with that action do you think that it has essentially changed the landscape for diplomacy at least. well

the diplomacy of it all has to be in the very beginning quite tough now we had the geneva. process the un journey of a process that did not yield any results now you had the a star a process that has not yielded any of us else but sort of on the ground you see i mean the broader picture could be that russia has. gained more weight and walk out and see has risen in stature because in a way just sort of resolving the syrian crisis not in the favor of those who would like assad to gore but here we are at least war is winding up and our worst groups sort of say are leaving but when it comes to the political resolution of it the lines would not be harder and they would not be though the concessions would be there on the table because we've seen the sort of exchange of intense rhetoric between the united states and russia and some experts say even saying this is perhaps the beginning of war too so the syrian crisis would essentially become

a battle between the russians and the americans which would mean that a political resolution will be even harder to come by and just briefly can you give us an update on the state of the chemical weapons experts were due to actually review the size of the attack or the the suspected gas attack in duma. well this isn't they will carry out the mandate they would have been dead for they were in damascus they landed in damascus yesterday the syrian officials are trying to organize a security at these that's what syrian state media is telling us and the c.w. says the bill will indeed go to do minor when they get their missiles are happened and this is going to be quite. tight lipped affair for security purposes as well when they get there they're going to be collecting samples from the basement the wheel which we've seen ads urine and blood samples of people who've been affected

by the chlorine would be difficult to a certain but even the engine has been used and that sort of remains in the blood of the infected and they would be able to collect samples but again they can auckland pin the blame on anybody they can really find out if they are. and how to actually respond in beirut thank you. to brazil now where thousands have turned days in rio de janeiro demanding answers in the slaying of city councilwoman mariella franco she was shot and a month ago after an event on empowering black women franco had been a fierce critic of police brutality racism and discrimination against the poor though her murder send shock waves through brazil there have been no arrests in the case so far. speaking out for the woman who can speak no more a month after mario franco was gunned down her supporters demand answers one particular detail of the investigation has spiked their suspicions officials say

she was killed with police bullets they say were stolen. franco's death cuts especially close four to patrol name they were close friends like franco patron is a leftist politician devoted to feminist causes and defending the poor and she too has received death threats. though this is a political crime aimed at silencing everyone marinelli stood for the people of the slums blacks women and the l g b t community the state is behind this crime. since franco's murder petrone doesn't go anywhere without bodyguards but she refuses to be intimidated. by it but we must now keep moving forward we will not give up we will continue money on these fight around the world to achieve democracy for those who never had it those living in the slums and the fringes of brazilian society but is read the way it is most people here believe

this was a political assassination franco's case shocked the country and prompted an outpouring of protests especially in rio where the military recently assumed control of the state's public security many are critical of this move especially since franco slaying democrats are to more. prosy is under threat this worries me but at the same time it empowers me to take to the streets just market because we're here because we want justice and we want to defend what little democracy we have in brazil through. my battle they kill mariachis body but not her voice. telling reappeared droney and the other demonstrators have no down that mario's legacy is far more powerful than her killers could have ever imagined . and hungry thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of the capital

budapest organizers say that the country's election system has unfairly given prime minister viktor orban a landslide victory or been party won around fifty percent of both in last week's election after running an anti immigrant pack campaign but under the home garry and system he secured two thirds of parliamentary seats. the. dictators shout these protestors at the man who last week won another landslide victory i there furious that victor opens anti immigrant campaign security must serve straight time in power in hungary his ruling few days paunchy won just on the hof the vote based on preliminary results has given him two serves of parliamentary seats. about a first we are not satisfied with the results of the election and we want to demonstrate that the forty nine percent is not two thirds made fifty or more that.

there are calls for a recount a new election even new electoral rules but among the tens of thousands who took to the streets of budapest there was frustration at the disunity among the opposition parties to what it could be obvious that the opposition are pathetic. basically said you know it's terrible they're so weak on able to reach a compromise and they kill each other instead of joining forces for us. this protest was one of the largest hungary has seen for several years but even if the outside world is listening it would take much more to change the politics inside. ricardo of red bull has won the chinese gone pray in shanghai and has started fixed on the grid but stormed ahead in the final twenty laps to win by almost nine seconds almost an eternity in formula one racing good

enough to beat a second place valtteri both half of last eighty's overall a season later the boston fattal suffered a minor collision and ended up an eighth at ricardo's sixth career when on his first in shanghai as of late the standings and ricardo springs into fourth. that's it for now you are watching doodling news coming to you live from berlin and we'll be back again at the top of the hour so stay with us and count. the total. play. cut. to. play. the only player limited cofer much.
