we want to highlight the issues about idlib.ly for the third or fourth time, into a small geographical area. this is putting pressure on the infrastructure, like sewage, water and shelter. do we have the ability to respond? no. we're only meeting 10% of the demand currently in idlib. thank you all. i'm gratefulfor your time. i'm sure we will talk again. thank you. up to a third of young people will never be able to afford to buy their own houses, and will live in private rented accommodation all their lives. that's according to research for the resolution foundation think tank, who say that 40% of millennials — those born between 1980 and 1996 — were living in rented housing by the age of 30. that's twice as many as generation x, those born between 1965 and 1980. charlotte steggz, is in rented accommodation. laura gardner is from the resolution foundation. and david o'leary is from the house builders federation. laura, fill us in on the research?‘ well, i think it is well—known that britain has a housing crisis and it ta kes bri

and we will take care of the idlib problem when we get to it.ite house economic adviser, larry kudlow. nikki haley said that us was working on new sanctions against russia. in fact, those plans had been put on hold. larry kudlow told reporters ms haley "got ahead of the curve, there might have been some momentary confusion about that." nikki haley said later... "with all due respect, i don't get confused." anthony zurcher in washington. good to have you here. what is happening? i think once again use donald trump undercut someone who was advising him on foreign policy, whether he changed his mind after the fact his views were not correctly transmitted to nikki haley is an open question but this was not the first time, we saw with rex tillerson, time and again over his tenure as secretary of state, and the difference is nikki haley for the difference is nikki haley for the most part over the trump presidency has been a survivor, she has carved out a niche in the un, separate from the drama in the circles of donald trump and she is getting pulled

and the assad regime. >> when i was in syria in 2012-2013, idlib was still in the hands of the assadegime. it is in northern syria, not too far from the border with turkey. the opposition, with a mixture of different groups, eventually took over and captured idlib and it has been in the hands for a while. they are bombed regularly by the regime, the people i've been speaking to told me it has updated a little bit over the past few weeks, but it has been regular, at least three to four bombs land every few days. of course the effect of that is the deaths of the civilian population. refugee camps are bursting at the seams. there simply is not enough to provide for everyone. many people are trying -- the largest number of refugees exist now in turkey, lebanon, and in jordan also and all have tried to absorb these millions of refugees both internally and externally. the situation is dire. i spoke to a doctor yesterday. he told me, i don't on how long i will be here. i am not going to leave this place because i've come to save life, however and whenever i can. many of my colleagues under

now in idlib and the countryside of idlib and the eastern side of aleppo, millions of people. and protect them from the bombardment and air strikes and another kind of conflict issues. many people would agree with that. it is very unlikely to happen. what do you think is going to happen then to the people that are now in idlib? you know, the people in idlib, will speak about this situation here, stop the killing, stop the displacement. this number is people need a suggestion by any side to stop this war. you know, the local organisation and humanitarian organisation response for this displacement by armed services for this displacement. now many people leave schools, leave mosques, on the street without any help. i suggest if the regime tries to advance to idlib, this number of people will move to the turkish border, maybe the north of aleppo, maybe to other places, but the condition is very difficult for them, because there is displacement. 0k, thank you so much for talking to pass. next we are going to talk about the woman who has died in the united states after she was part

many of the fighters and families who fled from here fled to idlib. lait is th province in rebel-held hands, and is certain to be the next target and not just that, but humanitarian disaster. laura:n lyse douceteppo, thank you. for more on the u.s.st military tegy in syria, i spoke a brief time ago to retired general richard myers, who served as the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. general myers, the u.s. defense secretary said today, "i hope this time the assad regime got the message." will this second set of airstrikes against the syrian government be enough? gen. myers: that is a big question. i don't think anybody really knows. i hope secretary mattis is correct that they do get the message, but the regime seems to be impervious to other messages, anas brutal as they have been, it is hard to think that one airstrike this time without putting anybody in dangein terms of the british, the french, or the americans -- they may wonder how stalwart we are in this. that was one of the criticisms of the missile strike in sudan in, i think it was 1998

and unfortunately tomorrow, in idlib.econd day, parliament has been debating britain's involvement in the strikes for a second day. the opposition labour party is calling for the introduction of a war powers act to guarantee that parliament has a say in military action — which it didn't in this case. here's labour leader jeremy corbyn, followed by prime minister theresa may. i'm sorry to say the prime minister's decision not to recall parliament and engage in further military action in syria last week showed a flagrant disregard for this convention. there are also situations where coming to parliament in advance would undermine the security of our operations or constrain the ability of our armed forces to act quickly and decisively. in these situations it is right for the prime minister to take the decision and then be held accountable to parliament for it. for more information, go to the bbc website. stormy daniels has been talking again. this all connects to president trump's personal lawyer michael cohen, who's the sub

which allegedly was used to launch a chemical attack in the province of idlib so in this situation we have we have a promise to target the chemical facilities but it is important to understand.

the united nation's syria envoy is warning the rebel held province of idlib could become the ravagedarian crisis area. speaking inside brussels today alongside the european union federal chief. challenge, the new 2.5 million people. you will not believe all of them are terrorists, of course. there are women, civilian, children. we hope there will be a location for making sure idlib does not become the new, aleppo the new eastern content -- eastern ghouta. mark: the syrian observatory for human rights say 177 people have fled combat in eastern ghouta since february. 12,000 fighters relocated to idlib. justin trudeau says drivers must civilian, children. we hope there will be a location not live in fear after a driver plowed a van into a sidewalk sunday. prime minister trudeau called it "a senseless attack and a horrific tragedy." p.m. trudeau: at this time we have no reason to suspect there is a national security element to this attack, but obviously the investigations continue. mark: a judge has ordered the 25-year-old suspect detained on 10 counts of first-degree murder and 13 count

idlib, largely controlled by hardline islamist rebels.cluding fighters linked with al-qaeda. there is an expectation of a more brutal battle, which, in syria, means a great humanitarian disaster. thanks very much. the founder and chief executive of the world's largest advertising group wpp, sir martin sorrell, has resigned — less than a fortnight after it announced he was being investigated for misconduct. announced he was being he leaves wpp after 33 years in the job. sir martin denies any wrongdoing as our business editor simonjack explains. as our business editor advertisers want you to remember the products they are selling, not the name of the company that made the adverts. many of the biggest advertising agencies, and pr firms, are owned by an even bigger one. it is called wpp and has been run since 1985 by sir martin sorrell. he gobbled up dozens of businesses over the years creating a £15 billion global giant. a big figure on the world business stage... if the eu does not give on that... he was happy to give his opinion. after 33

the thing is now, all eyes will be turned to idlib. but idlib will be a later stage, i would say.ecause idlib is a very sophisticated, all kinds of militant groups are gathered there and they have a sophisticated network. turkey, up to iraq. so i think this is not only look. also to the south. it is also de—escalated there. one of the areas where americans, russians, saudi, iranians, and the regime agreed to keep this connection. but however we need to look at mr trump's threats now, to years of retaliation strikes. which means these proxy areas will be in the main microscope where everyone is looking at them. so therefore that might change all the scenes again. and you mentioned that threat of military action a couple of days ago we heard saudi arabia would be in favour ofjoining with say the us and france and britain and carrying out some kind of strikes. studies are making that clear. they are worried and concerned about what they call the iranian. and in a very rare occasion they agreed with israel on this. they make it clear they will be part of it. that is why it is importan

this was the aftermath of the conventional attack in idlib, the rebel held province to which many fighters been transferred. only a small fraction of the half a million dead in syria's war have been killed by chemical weapons. more displaced people are being taken out of douma, the town that the west and others say was hit by chemical weapons. a trusted bbc source saw the immediate aftermath of the attack. translation: we entered the building and all the dead bodies were still there. the ambulance couldn't reach the bodies because of the shelling. there were signs of suffocation, their skin was blue, foaming at the mouth and their eyes were popped out. at the un security council in new york, the russians said there was no chemical attack. instead, the us and its allies were seeking a pretext for an illegal military operation. translation: you do not want to hear anything, you do not want to hear the fact that no traces of a chemical attack were found in douma. russia vetoed an american resolution to set up an enquiry to find out who's to blame in syria. russia has used the power of veto to

he now lives in idlib. i asked him for his view on the bombing by the us, france and britain.here? no. it is maybe the same, because here or there are, there is warming. —— and bombing. when we were in eastern ghouta, also there was bombing. but in ghouta, more than here. hundreds of thousands. and in ghouta there was the chlorine gas and this aaron —— the sarin. all of this did not stop for about five days. did you yourself, while you were living in ghouta, did you yourself experience any of these chemical weapons attacks? yes, yes. i is there instead more than four times. —— i experienced this more than four times. in different cities come back to 2013. -- times. in different cities come back to 2013. —— cities, back to. times. in different cities come back to 2013. -- cities, back to. low you not happy —— were you not happy to see the us, france and return act, because the assad regime used these alleged chemical weapons? —— france and britain. had that not make you please? no, actually, because when assad used chemical weapons on us in ghouta and many places in syria, and

assad has reclaimed most of the mediterranean coast the south of damascus up to aleppo and beyond idlib province now. he has pretty much regained the territory he has lost. i don't think removing assad is possible. there is no combination of countries that can do so and wishes to so. at some point you have to think about the people of syria and put their interests first, and stopping the war and arranging some kind of settlement, whether it is autonomy for the kurds, at may be the best we can do, but that would help millions of civilians at leasto have peace , at least to be free of ommbardment, and refugees, of them able to return to the country. laura: ambassador nicholas burns, thank you so much for joining us. nicholas: thank you very sich. laura: pnt trump is in a war of words with former fbi director james comey. he declared in an abc interview last night that the president was morally unfit for office. mr. comey compared the president's behavior to that of a mob boss. on twitter today, mr. trump fired back, accusingomey of committing many crimes when he was head of the fbi. our n

northern syria that is largely under rebel control, and thatis largely under rebel control, and that is idlibitorial foothold to be able to challenge president assad's rule. the big question is, when do you say, to use the phrase that you and many others have used, when is the war over? there is a great fear that when this war begins to draw to a close, at least in terms of the territorial battles, there will be another kind of conflict which will become the bloodletting, the revenge, the recriminations, and of course there are still the remnants of so—called islamic state, al-qaeda are also present in syria, and they are also present in syria, and they are able to carry out attacks even if they no longer control territory. soi if they no longer control territory. so i think we are a long way off saying the war is over. but it is clearly in a new phase, and president assad, across large parts of syria, clearly has the upper hand. that was leased to set. recapping our main story, the un security council has failed to back a russian resolution condemning the un -- us a russian resolution condem

the families and fighters driven from here, and many of them went to the neighbouring province of idlib in syria. so when western leaders talk about a negotiated end to the war, president assad and his allies are ever more entitled to end it on the battlefield, not at a negotiating table. but for now the focus is on the question of what kind of chemicals were used in that reported attack just outside chemicals were used in that reported attackjust outside damascus in douma — the world is now awaiting the verdict of the world's chemical watchdog, the inspectors from the opcw. many thanks, lyse doucet, in aleppo. the squeeze on wages is showing signs of easing, according to official figures, narrowing the gap between inflation and wages between december and february. other figures show unemployment has fallen to its lowest level since 1975, as our economics editor, kamal ahmed, reports. over the last few years i think things have been fairly tough, but we're beginning to feel a bit more confident about the future. i'm lucky enough to have my own home. i've got two young kids and it's quit

hejoins us now from idlib. thank you so much forjoining us. you are now, do you feel safer? thank you for having me. no, because it is like... maybe the same, because here there is bombing, and when he was in northern ghouta also he was bombing. but in ghouta, more than here, like hundreds of thousands of times, in ghouta the chlorine gas and the sarin, and the warplanes, i mean, all this did not stop, for, like, five days in a few months in ghouta. did you, yourself, while you were living in ghouta, did you yourself experience any of these chemical weapons attacks? yes, yes. i experienced more than four times now. one time in irbil city in 2017, and also in damascus city, and in 2018, and in 2013 in some of the towns in ghouta, where more than 1000 children have been killed and in these chemical attacks, i saw many people in that situation, they and their families, and many people in that situation, they and theirfamilies, and notjust the chemical weapons. also the warplanes killed us as well. i mean, when the united states and the united kin

he wants to move them all to idlib province and get them out of this area and that has become a pro asidead. this is becoming almost exactly a year after the attacks been 3017. —— in 2017. trump is the muchjust —— assad is pretty muchjust egging on trump is the muchjust —— assad is pretty much just egging on trump and is the muchjust —— assad is pretty muchjust egging on trump and the international community, saying, look what i can do. like i said, this was not the first chemical weapons attack. it is one of the more severe ones this year. it seems to have use sarin gas because of the effects that we have seen, the foaming at the mouth, the seizures, all the medical symptoms that we have been seeing relate to sarin gas. so this is the most severe we have seen but it is reallyjust be assad regime trying to egg on president trump based off the previous attack. thank you very much. the is the executive board committee for the syrian american counciljoining us committee for the syrian american council joining us on committee for the syrian american counciljoining us on a breaking news story,

well inside syria at least six people have been killed in airstrikes in the rebel held province of idlib tens of thousands of people have been moved there from eastern who tapped after rebels there are agreed to evacuation deals. in the area in italy . well. we are in the city of in the city's open market this market was targeted by three strikes launched by the syrian regime's jet fighters as we are filming now a number of jets are hovering over our heads a long silence blaring across the city through. this particular market has always been the target of strikes over there you can see the aftermath of tuesday's shelling this market is the destination of not only the city's residents but also for the people in the neighboring towns and villages dozens were killed and others injured as a result of the bombardment. as i said this marketplace has always been the prime target and on every occasion it's mainly civilians who are killed or injured this is also the third day in a row where the city of has come under aerial bombardment it follows the arrival of a number of evacuees from the one.

couple of months and culminating in that suspected chemical attack and another de—escalation zone is idlibnce and possibly next on the list to be attacked. not only are those talks are not working, they are absolutely working against any notion of being connected with what is happening on the ground. sadly, i don't think peace talks are going to make breakthroughs anywhere, since the tenacious work of a lot of diplomats. laura, this has come closer to us through this military action being taken. the focus will be on parliament tomorrow in the prime minister's address? absolute right, theresa may with having bypass parliament in taking this action will have to explain to opposition parties and many of her colleagues, who have some anxiety and concern as to how this all came about. there will be questions about the wider strategy, what is she trying to achieve beyond making this line, trying to draw a line about the use of chemical weapons. we will hearangerand the use of chemical weapons. we will hear anger and anxiety about the fa ct hear anger and anxiety about the fact that mps were not
