you're watching news live from berlin divisions over syria deepen at the u.n. security council members reject a russian resolution to condemn the western method of attack on legist chemical weapon sites this as u.s. president dollar trump claimed the mission accomplished but will the intervention change the course of the war also on the program. speaking out for the woman who constitute anymore a friend of mariani franco defiance dextre searching for answers in the killing of the popular rio de janeiro councilwoman. and i'm going to take

a soccer labor couzin continue their march towards champions league qualification with a think win over frankfurt. i mounted on a welcome to the program where the u.n. security council has rejected a bid from russia to condemn the air strikes on syria carried out by the u.s. the u.k. and france russia called the emergency meeting over what it said was an illegal use of force the u.s. says that the operation crippled syria's chemical weapons program and warns its forces are locked and loaded as ready for more strikes if damascus uses poison gas again all it took was a show of hands going broke. 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 this day 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 of attack against syria where russian military personnel are assisting the legitimate government in its counterterrorism. 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 forstmann 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 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 presidential but the u.s. military commanders are hailing the operation a success but questions about the u.s. strategy on theory it remain the debris of alexandra phenomena has more from washington. presidents don't know of triumph was very quick to their clear success after the strikes against syria tweeting mission accomplished

a phrase that invited unwelcome comparisons to george w. bush and he experiences in iraq for no trumps campaign seems to be successful the you ask 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 assets chemical weapons program but the question remains what is exactly the mission and what is president trump's 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 we heard from washington their president says it's mission accomplished what exactly was domination it wasn't an attempt to unseat president assad 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 be solving 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 and up to any more chemical attacks on the syrian people if indeed they have in the past done that in some cases the c.w.o. the organization the people of egypt and of weapons in fact has been the blame on the city and regina has donald trump achieved their 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 dollars from syria 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 and what are 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 are then syrians and on the ground against america as syrians whether

they support assad or not but yesterday they were not supporting him so they're against the strikes but of course half syrians are refugees and they give blood and these five million are by the end blasts and six million are internally displaced people there want it 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 happening 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 of the diplomacy of it all as the in the very beginning quite tough now we have the geneva. process the un geneva process that did not heed any results now

you have the a stomach 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 we 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 that the concessions would to 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 correspondent for and barry
