compounds at a rate because you end up with a savings account. exceeding doctor's initial assessments that you may never recover. burns while offices. you're watching the latest headlines here at times held an emergency meeting in new york to proposals on a mechanism to investigate by moscow while two consecutive russian draft proposals then failed to obtain the required minimum votes on more pain requests were put forward one from the and another from russia based ast russia and united states v the other one did not have a majority at this point there is not agreement within the body that leaves the united nations about how the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons will proceed to investigate the situation in duma that took place there chemical inspectors from the o.p.c. w. in the us still up in the air russia had wanted that they would be required to actually visit the site russia offered to provide but that was not agreed upon this
9:01 pm
isn't a benz the the representative of the russian federation explaining the situation. this vote is a litmus tests that tells us a lot and it's very worrying swedish one proposed yesterday it's not clear to us why they voted against it they simply should have said that they were against it because it was russia's draft resolution you say we are good at playing games but i would say you are good at threatening and your threats to syria worry us a lot nikki haley and i did states and she urged countries around the world to vote against russia's resolution this is the logic behind her argument for the fact finding mission investigators were just supposed to trust that the same government will work in good faith with the o.p.c. down under the u.n. rules the syrian arab republic had a right to address lucian's that were proposed pertained to war and it basically.
9:02 pm
they did not want what the united states did in iraq to be repeated in syria speaking in washington d.c. and it that the united states does not know if the attack this is what she said now we do know was used a chemical was use we're just not sure at this point today exactly what was with used everyone in the u.n. security column of what is however there is clear disagreement among countries about how that should be done russia insists that improperly they need to visit the site happen they need to need to interview people they don't need to rely on n.g.o.s and forces that may have a clue however there is not agreement about that from the united states on the countries that lead the u.n. security council and even though at this point to syria there is not a clear it's not an agreement what the o.p.c. value will do in syria of the use of chemical weapons that we're joined by international law attorney jennifer britton jennifer thank you very much indeed for joining us on what's been a pretty event now from the u.s.
9:03 pm
to look at it from outside now the u.n. security council meeting there like it or not regardless of whoever's aligned with the syrian government they are still the government of it's they should have a right to at least national expect or is there now that the actually russia the united states do want to know whether or chemical weapons were used and what kinds of chemical weapons want to come to to a fundament and who is responsible for it because trying to are threatening to carry out military action things like that we're now seeing that trump is kind of step that and it hasn't happened as he said it might to do other allies overseas such a strong presence there in syria much larger skirmish because of this but that civilians can be kept safe there or got a list of who is using them there are far too many actors in syria if there are in fact stockpiles terms of where as you said that he has met his matric and i mean that's one of those options that was on the table but it mentioned the other day i mean do you think washington will hold off taking actions in syria made his investigation on the ground and i think that any investigation on. on their way
9:04 pm
already i mean some of the. mandate is just determine what kinds of chemical weapons were used and to see what kinds either what kinds and to what extent chemical weapons were used maybe not assigning blame or who likely carried them out so that's going to be able to go after some kind of target without even knowing maybe who exactly carried out this attack because again you can't just say it's the risotto regime when there has been no hard evidence that it was the regime there are other factions such as the iranians and we also have over one hundred seventy different rebel groups or non-state actors other kinds of groups not just rebel groups or forces that aren't even aligned with the regime that might be more prosperous there so if chemical weapons are being used we needed to determine who that is because of stockpiles of chemical weapons but again that's going to be something that's important to work with these that are there because i think both countries don't want to see any skirmishes between the two being such big powerhouse of the area indeed i mean a pivotal role to play to do all of this obviously is the u.n. itself but i mean this thing to the u.s.
9:05 pm
representative nikki haley i mean she if it to be said that the u.n. and proved its uselessness that seven isn't what she said yesterday i said that history will record this moment font's ability as a security council or showed are constructed nies that member states of recognize that i mean you look at the rwandan genocide of one thousand nine hundred four and other things where the un could have acted i think this case is a little cases but i mean there are some political issues coming in because other states felt that that that was going to mean that only russian or assad forces were going to be there but he has even made that to see what kinds of chemical weapons were what so i think russia has a very big stake in these countries working together rather than just immediately going to security council and area russia's federal and transport agency also in full danger in the area so also issued statements on the situation blaming russia for its alleged obstruction of the investigation. this is cells where the international rushes served will be improving as the train was announced the drugs of. on new can't go and
9:06 pm
a decision would take will not affect syria's allies but if the decision is taken that it will of course target. and meanwhile britain sporty should get involved in another military conflict this time in syria blair claims the u.k. should back a us allies this would be action in support of of the us if you don't respond to the work weapons against civilians then we're ignoring what the international court of all and those that use such measures methods should be held to account even if we take the action which i think we have to do. it doesn't solve the longer term question of what happens in syria. i gave the order for british foreign minister is that this threat is real growing and of an entirely different nesa curity that britain has faced before. form that we thought it was did not exist in the way that i can also apologized by the way for some of the mistakes in planning and
9:07 pm
certainly our mistake in that in our understanding of what would happen once you remove the regime. and apology that you may have a no. well the iraq inquiry known as the chilcot report was published in twenty sixteen and uncovered mistakes in the u.k. says the report reveals there was no imminent threat to the u.k. or urgent need for military action against saddam hussein's government it also highlighted blair's certainty that eruption including chemical and biological unjustified the u.k. lost one hundred knows it's making themselves few so early this is this case the americans the europeans and the british have always wanted to be patient attack the daughter of former double agent service crew powell has lost the game is also recovering but is a source for proof or see from the media and i want to reiterate a request her father has also made good progress that he was no longer in a critical condition meant confirming that us cripple has indeed been discharged
9:08 pm
and they said that this isn't the difficulty and miles stone ripple bisi here in the u.k. saying that we congratulate you on her recovery but we need according to her own free will now the medical and medical prognosis catastrophic grave next to what media reports in the first few days some of them even jumped the gun saying that the script had been murdered and when she is unlikely to change in the near future and they may never recover fully but despite the hospice charged the story here is already being spun in a particular way action again some of the me make one thing clear to para and her father again to make a full recovery is wrong they're going to be permanently dead them. well as we heard the script hours were said to have been exposed to a poison from another child class of nerve agents developed in the soviet union
9:09 pm
although it was never called by that name this group of poisons are said to cause permanent damage or death and believed to be the most deadly substances of its kind british foreign secretary boris johnson claims the government's porton down military laboratory managed to trace the agent back to russia however this was later denied by the labs chief they were absolutely categorical and i asked the guy myself i said are you sure and he said there's no doubt but to be clear you're not able to say well chemical weapons experts olivier lippincott believes this type of nerve agent is extremely harmful drug is supposed to be very toxic highly toxic five to eight times more toxic than the x. which is already very very toxic so a small amount should have killed. so before we know exactly how the drug was delivered to the victim it's very difficult to us says victims. protesters as a standoff with environmentalists continues for
9:10 pm
a second day officers have been trying to evict protesters from their camp where they've been for a decade artie's shiela do bensky reports from the scene you can see that we just had to you gas fired into this campus trying to move desired demonstrators away and that's because just in the foreground but difficult to see behind some of the smoke are some of the structures that some people have been living in some protesters have been living on this site since two thousand and eight they say it's their land and they will stay and we've been speaking to one young mother who's got a fifteen month old son who's been living here for seven years and this is what she told us about her thoughts on losing her house which looks like it's next in line to be demolished i think i'm pushing away any kind of real emotional attachment to the buildings right now maybe a cry later to me we're all in this together. and crashing a building on those on the side is crushing a building on the sides i think i acquired first on the land i think i. fit me it
9:11 pm
just means that we have less buildings for all of us together and that's the shame i don't think i want to sentimental attachment to these buildings i happen to live in have a fifteen month old child who lives here as well and he's not here right now because . because there's some horrible people going to get us well the tear gas is continue to rain down here on day two and just behind me you can see that they're actually just soaring down a tree anything that they can do they're bringing doors in or anything they can do to barricade themselves in from the police to defend this land this land to defend . my. feet. if i am.
9:12 pm
going to feel i have probably got. to have faith that god will reach is down in the distance and ready and waiting for whether they going to charge forward. to have. quite a tactic that we've seen earlier in the day whether utilized by all the activists. my so desperate to hold on whose are actually just grabbing at a small pebbles and mud to be able to fling that at the offices we actually saw some people flinging mud directly at offices yesterday which is going to try and get a little bit closer don you might be able to see some one of the scientists activists throwing projectiles this is bottles glass bottle. plastic bottles as well as bricks towards the c.r.s. and there you can see where we're getting some things thrown back at them that
9:13 pm
would be some tear gas going off there don you can hear it's quite loud it's for a larry and not to a gas can reach really far probably about one hundred fifty meters when it is fired the police the c.r.s. have a lot of work to do if their aims to resolve this entire site is to take place it's unlikely it's going to be finished today because the ziad resistance is very strong but we know that the force of the police is also their own two and a half thousand gendarmerie are here and that the government is determined this will be it once and for all the end of sant. the israeli military has launched an investigation after soldiers apparently filled themselves cheering a sniper who'd shot a palestinian approaching the gaza border security fence after an initial review the army insists the shooters behavior was appropriate it adds the camera man wasn't serving with the border unit and will face a disciplinary hearing was it during. the initial design
9:14 pm
or. you know thrown in with the words of one of the richest of them did. well. on the. one or did the war really more than. what you say intially hear and see in this video is it his radio defense forces snipers shooting near the israel gaza border there is a single shot and you see this palestinian fall to the ground after being shot in the leg and you see the crowds converge on him now the israeli army has released a statement in. in response to our request for comment they say that the issue is under review they say that this happened several months ago and that it was
9:15 pm
a small part of what was a much bigger protest that happened that day the israel gaza border fence in which it says its soldiers had stones thrown at them and a number of palestinians tried to breach the border fence and now the point that the army makes is that the cheering and the swearing that you feel in the video is not part and parcel of the code of conduct of the i.d.f. not naturally the story has caused a bit of a few or here in israel there are a number of israeli politicians who have commented and who have stated that the soldier should not be judged this is a person they argue who is on the battlefield and just race and as such particularly because he's defending israel's borders you cannot pass judgment so that you hear in a very contrary point of view coming from the head of the arab joint list who says that the sniper must be brought to trial now this video surfaces more than a week after protests have been happening along the israel gaza border and according to the palestinian health ministry those protests have met some fifty
9:16 pm
people killed from. the cause. of. the palestinians argue that the searches are nonviolent and at the same time the civilian lives but the israeli side is arguing that the protests are a cover for what you see state should be these soldiers being fired at with molotov cocktails explosive devices and people trying to reach the border fence between israel and gaza hamas has admitted hamas of course being the ruling party in gaza has admitted that among those who have been killed in the past more than a week of violence are some of its members well in the latest protest mentioned by paul or a young boy was killed by israeli soldiers he said to be the youngest among the thirty palestinians who died in the demonstrations the boy's family held memorial a. oriel on monday when he would have celebrated his fourteenth birthday. now

9:18 pm
the second is that will stop resisting the israeli you're patient israel's are very firm a strong ally so basically as long as you're nice to washington's friends i'm for fair the proof that money talks look no further than the people's moshe dayan organization of iran doesn't matter that you killed american personnel of civilians top notch lobbyists will do the job politicians will back you at rallies if you are islamic but what martin and secular t.v. ads will proclaim your innocence from t.v. screens. any k. is a ranch democratic opposition working for a nuclear free iran founded on human rights unjustly listed a terrorist group is the victim of. their rocky allies this next option is simple just sits and waits until the tax were made if the noble peace prize winner nelson mandela waited till days before his ninetieth birthday
9:19 pm
what a nice present from washington and five years later at his funeral all was forgiven and forgotten so the people said that the world thanks you for your notes and modelling with us. was this photo was your struggle. but the boat of the birds are those the less great liberator of the twentieth century. same mentality now widely seen as an international hay right was branded as an international threat to decades plus even though it tends to tell us how they used to keep the faith. you have nothing but i think it is just like a red line for you that you will not designate russia. as they're going to you know on the battlefield there are groups that mesh together individual fighters or groups of fighters it's not a clean situation all the time so it's.
