united nations. the strikes by britain, the united states and france targeted suspected chemical weapons sites — today secretary borisjohnson said no further action was planned. but he said if the assad regime used chemical weapons again, the government would "study the options". here's our political correspondent ben wright british jets have already fired their missiles at syrian targets. but the political argument continues. the government says the purpose of yesterday's air strike was clear, to show the use of chemical weapons whether in salisbury or syria could never be accepted. there is no proposal on the table at the moment for further attacks, because, so far, thank heavens, the assad regime hasn't been so foolish as to launch another chemical weapons attack. he said there would be no slide into this or meddling into the civilian war. and showing how low the relationship with russia has sunk, borisjohnson rubbished recent suggestions by russia. to say that the uk was involved in salisbury — which is offensive. or that we were somehow involved in douma — which is absolutely demented. jeremy cor

united states and in europe doesn't really just this accident wasn't really just this thing of people being angry about the migrants that there were actually very powerful elites in the united states and britain people who outside the deep state the people who represented sections of that deep state who wanted this to happen they wanted to see this big shift to the far right and that is a very very alarming scenario. and the phase that's all time we have today but certainly your analysis reminds me of jeremy bentham zz assessment of creating a pent up tick on this idea of basically completely all seeing eye that watching us move more sultanate been there orwell's big brother in a sense and potentially really potentially all this information there money from us could ultimately be serving towards some kind of artificial intelligence supercomputers but i think at this point we'll have to leave it for today and hopefully pick up the conversation at a future date. when you think back to your grade school lessons about dr king you likely recall his most widely cited speeches for example i have a dream or i've been to the mountaintop there's a reason each of these works are important to teach to ou

lot of video and of course that's going to kind of reaction because the only way that the united states britain and france know how to react this the bomb things that's what they do is the way i am governments come to office with political agendas some news organizations have them too we are at fox news headquarters in new york and washington bringing you the very latest develop back in two thousand and three rupert murdoch's media empire outlets including the fox news channel in the us and more than one hundred seventy newspapers around the world strongly backed the invasion of iraq either the iraqis use poison gas and biological weapons or they don't if they do then all bets are off the united states can go ahead and shoot anything it wants whenever it wants these days they are similarly hawkish on syria although some of the tactics have changed one of murdoch's papers has targeted critics of the airstrikes the times based in london published a list of british academics calling them apologists for the assad government the paper was sending a message that would have registered with journalists

the likelihood of military action against president assad by the united states, britain and france hasigation into a suspected chemical attack in syria. yulia skripal, the daughter of a former russian spy, has left hospital five weeks after she was poisoned by a nerve agent. it's understood she's been moved to a secure location. her father is still receiving treatment. that's all from me now. stay with bbc world news.

iran will be looking at this latest intervention by the united states, britain and france as a demonstration is the point of it in addition to punishing assad. it is to demonstrate that iran had best be careful about its use of force in the region. and what is, as far as one can tell, iran's likely reaction to be? well, iran, in their public posture, will of course condemn this attack, as russia has condemned it. and tonight any cub ability, even though in the ice of most of the rest of the world, iran will be seen asa rest of the world, iran will be seen as a list indirectly couple bought because of its support for assad in the way that russia is directly coble ball. i think iran will continue to be rather cautious in its regional adventurism. already, we have seen in the past year that the kind of harassment of ships that the kind of harassment of ships that the iranian revolutionary guard navy had conducted in the persian gulf, that has been a very low tempo over the past year because the iranians are being cautious about not provoking trump. this intervention by the three powers will mak

certainly the russian umbrella that interest everyone i think everyone should be afraid if the united states britainand france starts a bombarding a a list once again if it's spring break like back in two thousand and seventeen but if there is something more meaningful or think your future everyone should worry i think the interesting thing just quickly is really to see what's ever happening now leading to something more interesting for the syrian people that have suffered a lot over the last seven years they're going to get your thoughts a mile in the shower thank you for joining us gaza's health ministry says one palestinian has been killed and more than seven hundred fifty others have been injured during ongoing protests along the gaza israel border that includes two hundred people who were injured by the israeli fire hundreds of others suffered other types of injuries including being hit by rubber coated steel pellets and being overcome by tear gas friday as protests are being dubbed flag burning day and part of an ongoing call for a right of return for palestinians since the process first began

in that sense it's true i think it's not true in the sense that we're not talking about the united states britain france and trading syria like they invaded iraq at least the british and americans in two thousand and three you know this is going to be airstrikes of some kind or another maybe over several days maybe just one day it's a long way from an invasion since in that part of the comparison isn't true valid what need to happen in order to put a stop to anybody doing something they might regret further down the line if russia says it's got people who are in that video saying no this was all staged inspectors have already been said they found the nerve agent they've opened it up to the o.p.c. w. and yet still nikki haley is pretty convinced that it's more of a when rather than an effort donald trump is going to move in with his allies. well unfortunately it is the opposition in syria which has been backed by rest of the arguments in terms of age and dropping really and finance and equipment ever since the beginning of this conflict have always been trying to get a massive american foreign int

to say that the actions taken by the us britain and france constitute war crimes by definition they are war crimes that syria did not threaten the united states or britain or france nor could it and so a war of aggression is called technically a crime against peace an aggressive war is that is considered the highest form of war crime where the worst type of war crime and you know the assyrians have a right to resist that the russian forces are in the country at the invitation of the duly constituted government of syria and you know the idea that they can just be attacked with impunity i think is one that is highly dangerous and the possibilities of a crack climbing an escalation letter i have a real regardless of what madness and done for it said tonight. now richard this shot here you bring up a good point that the russian forces were invited by the government of syria are there in the country in the past we have seen proxy wars of sorts between the united states and back then it was the soviet union during the cold war times. we also know that general dunford at the pentagon stated that the u.s. took measures in case of a response from the
