the u.n. security council fails to agree on how to investigate an alleged chemical attack in syria bringing a potential escalation in the conflict a step closer. to home. in such cases bush with a room with two brain. u.s. threatening military action against the masochists without any investigation a mission by the international watchdog is only set to arrive in syria by the end of the week. also this hour facebook's bosses probe over elections meddling and data leaks it turns out though those grilling the c.e.o. have been financially supported by him in the past meanwhile the social media giant faces a battle from some of its blocked users. we want to be. welcome

to you all to international live from moscow for the latest global updates on daniel hawkins a war of words has broken out over the conflict in syria that softer three resolutions over the latest alleged chemical attack in the country were shot down in the u.n. security council. could someone clearly explain to me what this alleged chemical attack was necessary for the massacres especially for almost all militants were targeted. today they vetoed for the sixth time a resolution condemning aside for chemical weapons attacks on his own people you have already a point to guilt in such cases bush in the wrong. way we are not able to

support the text it would be like watching a fire and identifying. and doing nothing to put it out fortunately american partners and colleagues the real investigation. or for more on the latest in syria live in the studio barty's igor's donald thanks for coming and being across the story you go. and intense forty hours has a lot has been said those three votes in the security council a lot of speculation as to what could happen next let's just take a step back from from all the speculation what's behind this fear the good articles collation here well they're mostly emotions there's very little little facts in this story because well you know the u.s. and russia put forward rivaling resolutions on syria both exchange vetoed each each other's resolution and this followed washington's announcement of their readiness to strike syria if necessary and russia's vowed to protect damascus and shoot down

anything flying the syria way have a listen. we are being with our military and everybody else. making some major decision. will be learning you know british. so there you have it and since then the emotions and really the threats have been as collating ever more and further and further russia's ambassador in lebanon for example reiterated moscow's the promise to shoot down anything any missiles washington may want to launch of the syria way and in fact he said that russia could potentially strike anything strike back and strike strike those vessels those facilities that launched the missiles now it's important to understand that the the we've heard nothing of this sort from the defense ministry but we're expecting a briefing from the russians defense ministry in the next few hours so everything

that's happening right now is very very far from a rational discussion but the bottom line is this could break out into a potential conflict between russia and the u.s. i mean many here would say this is the closest the two superpowers of been to some sort of direct clash almost since it's one hundred sixty two the cuban missile crisis very worrying prospect but where exactly have these accusations come from if we put these emotions to one side for now what are the facts that we know where this is all sprung from over the last week or so well there aren't too many facts because there's just not enough time has passed simply we know that the accusations of a chemical attack in the syrian city of duma came from a group known as white helmets they brand themselves as a civil defense group they are an official in this title and they accuse the accuse the syrian government of launching a chemical attack and it's important to understand that while the only this defense

group only works on the rebel controlled in the rebel controlled areas so they're clearly and blatantly and to you regime and to your side and also they've seen their reputation has been marred by a number of accusations mostly involving using them of having ties with terrorist groups like nuestra for exams. so this is where the equations came from following that claim russian the russian military entered the city of duma to look for evidence to look for clues and they're saying that they've found nothing so now it's important to realize also that the allegation from the white home it's came after the russian military and the syrian government reached the deal with the militants inside the city of do my and so the attack if it ever happened according to the white house it happened while the rebels and the of and their families and civilians were in the process of moving out of dumas so this is one of the arguments used by russia saying that there was no point in launching this attack no

point in launching this attack at that particular timing as well as of course it is well known fact that syria destroyed all of its chemical stockpile and the your p c w they even got a no the even got a nomination for a peace prize or for that so that's what we have in terms of facts now russia also warned had warned of provocations of potential chemical provocations before and in terms of what we know about this attack even the united states say that the aren't sure what chemical exactly was used in it. now we do know that some sort of a substance was used a chemical was use we're just not sure at this point today exactly what was with. it was that the concern for many is that action could be taken and. something could be done before the inspectors from their p.c. w. have a chance to reach that site before the end of the week as we heard there what could

be next here what could we see happening over the next forty eight to seventy two hours well the o.p.c. w as you say their investigation on site could shed some light as to what happened if anything happened in the city of duma but their mandate following what happened in that the u.n. security council is unclear what was in what and what's. state as they will be in syria washington is saying that it has its own intelligence suggesting that that chemical attack took place but this reportedly wasn't enough to even convince some of its allies we're getting reports that the u.k. and france refuse to participate so far in a potential strike on syria until further evidence is produced and i mean it's hardly a surprise because again the bottom line is the real danger here is of a direct confrontation between two nuclear states when really emotions overshadow facts indeed and it's going to be very busy two to three days isn't it for the

diplomatic front what's going on in in syria directly obviously as well remains to be seen of course what the a.b.c. the inspectors do find the scene as and when they do get they would all come back to you if there's any more news coming from out of there with the latest. the french president to mind has also been calling for a tough response on syria following that reported chemical incident it's not a view shared by all politicians in france though everyone knows perfectly that in war time the first victim is truth what happens on the ground is almost unknown to us the chemical attack which evidently took place is abominable we must condemn it but we still have to find out who committed it so it sounds a lot like an excuse for the united states of america and their allies to get back in the game and to engage in an armed conflict i think that currently france is contributing to the creation of the we creation of a certain form of the cold war with russia and it's pointless because it doesn't

benefit france or its economy or international relations to lead the u.s. seeking to stir up a conflict with russia mass us around. during tuesday's security council meeting at the u.s. ambassador nikki haley proclaimed russia's hands are covered in the blood of syrian children shouted that shaming russia with pictures of those kids hasn't worked. takes a look at the pictures of children the u.s. envoy chose not to show to shame the russians all u.s. officials think they have to do is say one word kids russian reason you are all covered in the blood of syrian children are not being seemed pictures of its victims. for you see mrs haley said it out loud they're used to telling the world about kids russia's friends killed with the latest chemical attack call like always the american media were there to spread the word

these images are so disturbing the children the families in such distress what you see around their mouth has to be thrown that's a sign of a chemical attack hundred think images of syrian children fighting for us accusing russian the syrian president. ruined children's lives thousands of graves that weren't meant to be dug so early stories from war ravaged parts of the middle east will make you cry and all of them must be told but i can't help asking why for u.s. officials or journalists these agonizing stories from mosul iraq or rocca in syria don't exist. no on some channels you'll never see their stories maybe because there are scars or

how america's top military man puts it a fact of life civilian casualties are a fact of life civilians will get caught in the crossfire civilians will get hurt civilians will get killed if you want to liberate your towns and cities it comes at a price the responsibility for civilian casualties in iraq and syria lies with isis that is on them not on us we are the good guys and munitions people on a battlefield know the difference kids lives in another arab country yemen have turned into a disaster that's a fact so say humanitarian groups and it is a fact of life in a sense that washington is pretty much at hand when saudi arabia is bombing civilian. across the border the saudis have spent billions on what sam has to offer and donald trump loves selling guns to riyadh in terms of dollars three billion dollars five hundred thirty three million dollars five hundred twenty

five million dollars there's been a review here besides in case someone forgot the americans themselves have for years been taken away and a cent lives in afghanistan must have been explosions happen i was with my uncle and cousins american soldiers opened fire and a bullet flew by my face you could say this is my younger brother. he was killed by u.s. troops this is my brother shot of fats. and this is my father's it grew he was killed as well i want the government to avenge my father and kill his killers reversing regime whose hands are all covered in the blood of syrian fielder not being streamed live pictures of that script. for a million franco and moscow. social media sensations thought i mean to say facebook still hasn't inform them why it suddenly restricted the. page.

yeah. yeah. that's media pushing your agenda we thought people would just stop because we have. this here or to be decided by the people and i see these two on talent. i say they are the greatest. he did not want to go. it became a web sensation for their comments on the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election it's not the first time they've been blocked online though you tube deemed monetized almost all the content here ago here's how facebook commented on the issue we have communicated directly with diamond and filk about this issue the message they received last week was inaccurate and not reflective of the way we communicate with our community and the people who run pages on our

platform we have provided them with information about our policies and the tools that the reply kubel to the page and look forward to the opportunity to speak with them however the geo claimed the social media giant cut their defecation as to the millions of subscribers without explanation the company claimed the content was unsafe before later clarifying it was because of inappropriate behavior we've got to speak to the themselves they accuse the facebook facebook of discrimination. i didn't understand it and when he said that our cottage and our brand is unsafe to the community our brand is that i'm going to still die i mean the circus to black chicks that's down with politics that's right now you have that we are conservative we love our country we love our president ok so when i said that i was offended by it we was apart by it we look at this has been censorship discrimination defamation of character and even a byelection of our civil rights being too black women as if we are some type of

animal or limbs or somebody just out there just a get out and say that is appalling to me your facebook is going to have the answer to that why what was the reason because we don't know that's right and we can appeal that they said that we could not appeal it and this was final but it's because of a very huge entity ok that is an entity that people from around the world join facebook so we don't want to get into this here our our our our lane where you have one person dictating what people can see and what people can hear on this platform when a star has millions our round the world not just in the united states but millions around the world because that's where it gets dangerous that's right do not die for our silence people's free speech that's where i stand is that you've got to be balanced and we know that they want to say that they are private entity but you are open to the public that only you are open to the public you cannot discriminate.
