mind member states that there is an obligation particularly when dealing with matters of peace and security to act consistently with the charge that of the united nations and with international law in general the un charter is very clear on these issues. but even with the un brushed aside the us congress has to give the green light for the attack on paper it turns out the defense secretary is promised to run the decision with the lawmakers was empty it is hard to find a legal justification for that military strike in syria absent congressional approval so whatever you decide to do i would hope you would include the legislative branch we will be reporting to congress and finally allies in ideal circumstances they'd be rallying on mars beside washington unleashing their joint erath on the enemy this time most u.s. partners while giving their verbal support have sought to avoid complicity ability

it we must say as we tell you and so always have that if we need a long term solution to the syrian crisis we not only need to respond to crimes but first of all work towards peace stunt germany will not find too. shy and want to make it clear again that there are no decision is the us that we see and say or do this that everything is being done to send a signal that this use of chemical weapons is not acceptable to say none of the formal boxes checked but the mission is accomplished and ignoring all the legalities and almost deliberately rushing headlong into war trump has once again shown the only right way is his way. russia slammed the u.s. led strikes on syria as an act of aggression and called a u.n. security council meeting at the meeting mosco proposed a draft resolution calling for members to condemn the attack as a violation of international law it also demanded the u.s.

and its allies to cease their aggression against syria and provide conditions for an open c.w. investigation but off to a haze today and come into the draft was quashed. washington and london but chose to ignore all calls for sanity you have nothing but disdain for the un charter and the security council which you're using your illicit aims but the un charter wasn't conceived to protect criminals our action absolutely corresponds to the goals and values of proclaiming in the charter the us and its allies to need to show blatantly gleg of international law i will take a lesson mr president in international law from russia you don't treat the security council seriously you don't work to its guidelines i don't talk for hours and you don't consult. for tom and did last night the united states is a lot and loathe. when our president draws a red line our president enforces the red line the us and it is really due to

shooting its love and concern. we don't have aircraft several hours old smartness sorrows and a nuclear weapons arsenal now we also know they have a disdain for international law we are prepared to sustain this pressure if the syrian regime is foolish enough to test our well you could use dimmers mobile is this how you want international affairs to be conducted now this is hooliganism and not minor who are going is a problem since we are talking about major nuclear powers. well people around the world have expressed their anger at the actions of the u.s. and its allies hundreds marched in france or germany and america too did noun's the strikes against syria we've heard from the director of the ron paul peace institute daniel mcadams who questions the logic for conducting the airstrikes were truly

a matter of simple logic if if indeed that was the case why not wait for an investigative body to calm if the us has known it for a long time this was a chemical weapons facility why not notify the your piece you have in the first place and most of all if this was a factory producing chemical weapons and you want to punish assad for allegedly using chemical weapons why would you get a chemical weapons factory and disperse all of the syrian gas or whatever they have manufactured there along to the city of civilian population are you not it was just you would use the thought of doing. russia's foreign minister says the type of poison a form of double agent and his daughter were exposed to in the u.k. last month may have been misidentified so a lot of cited the recent findings of an independence whistler bar a tree that analyzed samples from the sea and in recent developments the swiss lab says it's down to the o.p.c. w. to have the final say. eventually it got through the bushes the analysis is more

consistent with the use of the poisonous substance be said none of these facts and nothing at all about was mentioned in the final report which was presented to its executive board we request that the a p c w explain why such information and the conclusion the spears laboratory was emitted from the final report all the bees that a nerve agent is an incapacitating toxin developed by the u.s. military back in the one nine hundred fifty s. it's a harmful crystal in powder which may cause confusion so i problems disorientation while these that has never been manufactured in russia all this law of the union however the u.k. was quick to blame russia for the attack naming the north the chalk nerve agent initially which was initially developed in this thought the union the international chemical weapons watchdog the i.p.c. w confirmed those findings to our correspondent lord takes a closer look now at the allegations being leveled at russia there was no trial no

discussion no evidence no proof there was only judgement and punishment it's highly likely that russia was responsible to the poles russia culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder the pundits needed even less the name chalk sounds russian means russia did it establish that it is not a chaka matter is by definition of the translation of the name which means newcomer part of a program in a soviet union in the late seventy's and eighty's the points made there are a lot of questions to ask of this whole mess but over the last few weeks we've interviewed dozens of chemists experts and military specialists and hear their biggest gripes. the new rich nerve agents

a new she quit they haven't been so in decades here they are exerts from the books and studies and mailable to the public neither the formula you know the chemicals any more russian then itself for years now researchers have published studies and theses on the nuvi chocks which there are dozens and dozens of many developed in different countries she said mom goodall in twenty zero seven the us or the published of people numerous chemical compounds we were interested because of the toxicity we all thought united them under the system there are more than sixty compounds here and they've all been indexed since then these formulas or some of them have appeared in various publications constantly but you simply cannot save your secrets i mean there's more to it if you suspect a potential adverse arena has made

a new discovery you have to do the same in order to study the new substance and make and to do so it's true to say that russia is not the only country being able to sympathise a few grams of know each other and the late ninety's all intelligence services in the west worked on so i'm not surprised that in france in a new kid in the united states you have this kind of information that could explain speed in which the product was identified and there's a whole lot of nerve agents to go around with more being discovered undeclared nerve agents. and it's a country and there are many discovers the properties of a new chemical structure it's the city a chemical weapons with anshul they must immediately according to the convention vegetarianism with the other c.w. but no country does so. and it really isn't as difficult as it

may sound if it's really an obvious choke we're dealing with it's not a real problem to synthesize that kind of nerve agent or the necessary components are easily available on the open market any specialist in organic chemistry would be able to make it though every expert we talked to said that you need serious expertise and substantial funding to make cure nerve agent. and of course you can't make this in any basement the chemicals are highly toxic and the lab has to be well equipped with ventilation detoxification equipment but every lab can synthesize this but there are twenty or thirty labs that counter. the argument that there is no alternative explanation because only russia has made new trucks sales. britain's decision to classify almost every aspect of what happened and the investigation is called the room and mill

running but there are tidbits that have leaked out tidbits that have the scientists scratching their heads the interesting thing with nova chalks is that there are so many of them and they come in so many different forms they can come in a powered as solid as a crystal and even as a liquid but just to give you some reference if this was a variety of the nuvi chocks a single drop is enough to kill ten people ten people within minutes if this was in the hailed even more units on putting it we can hail the symptoms appear and follows in minutes if it gets in the skin symptoms and birth can take from minutes to hours. at first one might think that the script could only have survived because the dude's had to be very small but the reported symptoms don't

match they simply missing if indeed this was a nuvi chalk a nerve agent at work the script pals were very fortunate british medics must have realized quickly what was at work here or else have a miracle cure for a new nerve agents there's no other explanation. and i take a quick break more stories still to come stay with us. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race is on often spearing dramatic developments only mostly and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

something happens in this case it was the chemical attack on civilians in syria and then the public in the media are waiting for the response i think it's very clear now that if president trump said that there is going to be a response then it will be i just think that our expectations in a way that this american response will be so severe that it will be a game changer i think this is not the case it will again be misadjusted very careful calculation by the americans not to deteriorate into a clash a direct confrontation with russia. welcome back this week saw another wave of clashes between police and environmental activists in the french city has none.

tensions in the area have escalated since the deployment of thousands of police officers earlier in the week activists known as santas have protested for a decade against the construction of an air force near the city some even built a makeshift housing sound moved in there but since plans for the airport were finally rejected in january police have been trying to forcefully a victim a law france correspondent shola depends gave followed events as clashes came to a head at the beginning of the wait. was told it was was who were little you would be if you will. it was this land was scheduled to be part of an airport development many people

were against that people moved into the land they took over they built a commune over many years many people say that this is now their family land they they farm here and they want to protect it the government said they had to be out by the end of the winter they would given into last week to leave they've been given an extra week's grace and what's happening now is this is the battle between the police the c.r.'s or the government and the protesters the saddest who say that this is their land and they will do anything they can to defend it if in throwing bottles they've been throwing fire at the place and the police have been responding in kind with tear gas at times it felt like the sky was raining with tear gas here and our colleagues artie's video agency will caught up in that take us back a. bit because you. already are you ready for a few hours for you all to see well as you can see now the zionists have let floyd

to one of the. he's a very a case the police are just about one hundred meters down in the distance ready waiting for when are they going to charge forward and i just want you to just look around me and you can see all of the smoke and that is because it literally has been raining down with tear gas today in not to down the line and if you look behind me there is a follow up in that in the background it is incredibly difficult to breathe we keep being moved on by that gas is actually chlorine to my skin because it hurt so much . real world. for you for growth to just want to take you to have a look at this down this is one of the rocks that they've been throwing at the police and gendarmerie and there's understand that one of the c.r.s. offices has been injured by.
