during. w.'s if you learn in course. maybe you see. the city give you news live from berlin the truth about the alleged gassing of civilians in syria a global watchdog is due to get to the bottom of what happened to these people and do much more the attack with chemical weapons. after this weekend's military strikes on syria the e.u. switches the focus to diplomacy and a new push to bring russia back into the fold. also coming up. in the bundesliga

shall cut and dortmund squared off in germany biggest derby match up more than just local pride at stake both teams are in the hunting pile of fine for champions league. i'm semi so much gonda good to have you with us inspectors from the international chemical weapons what watchdogs are still trying to get access to the site of the suspected poison gas attack in syria they were supposed to start work on saturday but were delayed it is not clear why british officials have blamed russia and syria for the delay dozens of people including children were killed and injured supposedly by poison gas in the alleged attack on the seventh of april russia has said it was faked and did not really take place. alastair hay is a chemical weapons expert and a professor at leeds university in the u.k.

i ask him to tell us more about the evidence the chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. debbie would be looking for in dubai. well if the inspectors get full access and there's been no interference with any of the evidence they have a very good chance of finding things they will be as you said earlier talking to victims witnesses doctors and collecting as much by way of environmental samples as they possibly can and if it the use so they know they didn't for example which might explain some of the casualties they have a very good evident a very good chance i should say of collecting this material because it will still be present alastair you touched on this but do you think there is a chance that evidence might have already been removed from the site. when it's possible but the inspectors of carried out many inspections before and they will know that things have been moved some of the video evidence i saw indicated that one of the munitions had been moved from where it had landed on the floor and

placed on a bed but i think generally munitions which should still be in place if they have been moved the inspectors will be able to see this but it's not it's access to the munitions which are important because they can get samples from the munitions but obviously it's the effect of the munitions that the inspectors have digitally interested in and that other evidence they can get hold of and alister what about their ability to attribute who is responsible. well the o.p.c. job you will not be able to do this it will simply say who used to get a weapons of course if it's bombs there are only two countries if you like that have control of the airspace syria and the russians in syria so you know it doesn't take a nobel prize laureate to work out you know where it is so the bombs may have come from but the o.p.c. job he will simply establish what was there the mechanism for cheating blame no

longer exists that process was stopped by the russians in two thousand and seventeen no french president khan has justified taking part in airstrikes saying that they have had proof of chemical weapons usage in the past how much evidence evidence is there that they are assad regime has indeed employed such weapons there is good evidence is security council set up a mechanism in two thousand and fifteen and a joint operation between p.c. w. and united nations this was a joint investigations mission and that produced several reports and they contain very good and compelling evidence that syria was to blame for the use of chlorine bombs and another gas attack last year and that information is out there and syria was said to be the perpetrator. or hey thank you for speaking with us now e.u. foreign ministers have been meeting in luxembourg to thrash out how to proceed in

syria the meeting follows a series of coronated strikes by the u.s. u.k. and france on the chemical weapons facilities in syria topping the agenda is how to deal with russia a key ally of the syrian regime and reviving the peace process in the country. let's go to luxembourg. to standing by for us there hi gary good to see you foreign ministers are meeting there today what can we expect to come out of this. i expect that the foreign ministers here will formalize their support for these strikes conducted by two e.u. member states and the united states however they will also make clear that the sole purpose of these strikes was not rouge regime change was not change tipping the balance of power in this complex proxy war but it was to deter the syrian regime from using chemical weapons in the future that is a key message and then also look out for a political initiative that particularly france and germany are trying to hammer

out at this meeting here in luxembourg germany's foreign minister heikal moscow said there is a quote window for dialogue that is open with syria's main backer russia let's listen to what he had to say today in luxembourg. it was fun but this conflict can't be solved without russia we have to find a way to achieve what we all want firstly a ceasefire access for humanitarian aid a transitional government in syria constitutional reform and in time elections. that need a solution that everyone in syria can accept. and as the back because of the acid regime the russians also need to understand that. so gary what role is germany playing here what kind of dialogue are we talking about. looks to me there is not a particularly big appetite i would say for syria related new sanctions something

the u.s. has proposed here and so let me compare nevertheless the german position here to the german position on the sanctions we have for the act an extension of crimea and that is that these sanctions are always only can only be a mean not an end in themselves but a means to achieve a political dialogue so germany traditionally here is a country that is very keen to incorporate a russia into a future solution and that is where practically everybody is on the same page particularly france that says these strikes are not a one off their path of a strategy now that strategy is a little bit complex it's the idea behind it is to show russia determination that the west will be involved in a solution for syria seeing that this is basically one of the syrian regime and by russia but the europeans want to make clear they will be part of

a solution and they want to show that determination if you want but guaranteed you have some european powers accusing russia openly of being involved in a chemical weapons attack surely that must be complicating efforts at diplomacy. it is of course working a diplomatic tightrope if you want on the one hand showing that particular determination on the other hand more provoking the russians too much and maybe that is the reason watch dave fredricka more greeny the foreign policy chief of the european union talked about the economic leverage that the european union has in this conflict there's a big donor conference coming up in brussels next week and she said look the european union is ready to put huge amounts of money ten billions have been put in the last couple of years already interest neighboring countries put huge amounts of money into rebuilding syria if russia is prepared to relaunch the u.n.

a danger to the us system of government he calls the president a liar obsessed with spins going on i don't think he's medically unfit to be president i think is morally unfit to be president of the bits a feud between the two men started last year when comey confirmed that the f.b.i. was investigating russian links to the trump campaign weeks later komi was fired by trump for the stakes between this clash of the titans and now sky high if trump isn't dices for trying to cover up a possible campaign collusion with the russians mr komi is likely to be a star witness and he says he cannot rule out that the russians have compromising material on trump these are more words i never thought i'd order about a president and states but it's possible and i wish i wasn't saying it but it's just it's the truth trumps response to kamins attack has been a vitriolic series of tweets branding komi a slimeball he describes him as always ending up badly and out of whack he's not smart and he will go down as the worst f.b.i.
