oh earlier i spoke with scott lucas from the university of birmingham i asked him whether there's anyndication of who might have been behind the missile attack on the homes military airbase in syria this morning three we have to separate strands two you're the first as a possible response to the assad regime's chemical attacks which not only the u.s. but france have actually indicated as possible the second is that israel has attacked this airbase before it's called the tea for air base in central syria it attacked in february because it's an iranian personnel who were at the base that launched a drone into israeli airspace israel has a pattern of course of attacking assad regime targets including air bases to try to limit the presence of hezbollah and iran and movement of weapons to them so it is possible that israel carried out this attack for reasons unrelated to the chemical attacks by the assad regime or is possible and we're not being told yet that israel was in consultation with the united states or maybe another country like france as it made the decision to a time scott lucas

meeting scheduled for later today thanks very much professor scott lucas of for us from the university of birmingham thank you. now for a look at some of the other stories making the news at this hour in canada vigils been held to honor the fifteen members of a junior ice hockey team killed in a bus crash on friday and as a people attending including the prime minister justin trudeau and members of the national hockey league the accident is one of the worst hit count of the sporting community. the u.n. secretary general antonio guitarist has met with chinese president xi jinping and other chinese leaders in beijing concerns about global trade tensions and rising protectionism and called china absolutely crucial in the international system this as beijing and washington exchange escalating threats over terrorists. german police have carried out raids on several properties and arrested six people on suspicion of planning an attack on berlin's half-marathon on sunday one of them is reportedly suspect they're planning a knife attack on spectators and participants in that race. let's get over to hell on

now is dr natasha rulyova, lecturer in russian and a specialist in russian media at the university of birminghamthank you forjoining us, i hope you we re thank you forjoining us, i hope you were able to listen to what some of the ambassador was saying. it was an abject lesson in criticism and ridicule. how will it be portrayed by the russian media? precisely in those words except with more sarcasm and mockery of the british reaction to the case. may i ask you to stay with us one second, we are just going to go back and hearour second, we are just going to go back and hear our representative, the british representative at the united nations. she is responding, let's listen in. they are interviewing more than 500 witnesses. the president, in the uk the police are independent of government. if there are more details we can share with the council as the investigation proceeds, we shall be very happy to do so. we all know why that investigation is under way. it's because the military grade nerve agent was used in an attempt to kill civilians on british soil. it was carried out recklessly and without

this from scott lucas is professor of international politics and american studies at the university of birmingham in the u.k. welcome to day w. well sells on this alleged chemical weapons attack of two issues that firstly what does the evidence say about whether it was a chemical attack and secondly who was behind it and let me be direct here because the russians will try to spread confusion and dissent from nation based on the evidence from doctors first responders activist local journalist residents themselves based on photographs and videos this was a chemical weapons attack in fact to a time it's the first with chlorine the second on saturday night with a stronger substance and undetermined agent at this point and this attack could only be by the assad regime and that is because the munitions that carried the chemical agent were dropped from helicopters and from warplanes no one else has helicopters or planes in the area other than the syrian air force those are the facts as we know them what happens not is a different matter it's been a busy week in syria meanwhile of course the government t

let's bring in our panel from freetown divil a deputy minister of information in but birmingham in the u.k. laura martin lakhs of the university of birmingham and joining us via skype from. mary was editor at africa international welcome to you all i would like to start by asking mr devoe this the first round was a tie it's raised race is the second round and the final one likely to be a replay of the first scenario well certainly. this is going to be. because we see. the two go see de show and they did. the of the of the van to use what i will. concede the the total number of. but we join it is very much likely that the dr some of them are through with income other ways the country did for the old people's congress will emerge successful. laura is this your feeling that zamora commodity is likely to win the election or his opponent. mother b o. i think that julius ma to be or has a very good chance of winning i think it really well depends on this voter turnout as you were discussing earlier i think it will depend on where the voters turned out but i think julius might appear has a very good chance of winning. marie i mean it

birmingham that's in the u.k. scott lucas is joining us he's a professor of international politics at the university of birmingham welcome to you all deborah trungpa saying that we've already lost the trade war we don't have a trade war with china if it's not a trade war what is it well that's a good question i think we're at the beginning of a trade war i don't think we're quite in the middle of what could be a full blown trade war although we haven't really had one so it's it's kind of hard to define what one would look like but if you were in the middle of one i think this is what it starts to look like this escalation counter escalation threat retaliation except so if we're not in one we are perilously close to being one here's the thing though deborah the u.s. is allowing sixty days for feedback and it hasn't really specified when the tariffs woods take effect so effectively some people saying trump is leaving a window open for talks is that what he's doing here is he leaving some sort of room for negotiations possibly when there is actually shorter than that he has there's a thirty day comment period here a

we're joined by scott lucas, professor of international politics at the university of birmingham and founder of ea worldview. good to have you with us. >> thank you. >> so even after french president macron's charm offensive, it seems mr. trump will not stick with the iran deal if he can't fix it. what might be the ramifications of the u.s. withdrawing from this deal? >> first of all, let us talk about what -- yoons have peurop proposed the deal could be fixed possibly by amendments to the deal, including extending its term limits. but the suspicion is that trump doesn't want to fix the deal. his officials actually are going outside summits by talking about iran withdrawing forces from syria. iran cutting ties with hezbollah. all of these are viable issues. but they're not supposed to be within the context of where the deal goes. one of the ramifications -- the nuclear deal was holding a line in terms of some type of channel where you could possibly work with iran to limit their program. and they have complied with the deal. but also to possibly eventually talk about the middle easter

. >>> scott lucas is at the university of birmingham. he is the founder and editor of ea worldview. he joins me now live from birmingham in england. great to have you don show. >> thank you. >> now, this march of asylum seekers towards the u.s. border appears to have annoyed mr. trump. and in a confusing move, he tied the immigrant march to the daca deal, saying new immigrants want to take advantage of daca. what do you make of that? why is the president of this nation confused about this issue? >> well, he is either confused or he is using this as a pretext. i mean, let's be clear. as you report stated, the caravan is not covered by daca. none of those people will come into the u.s. under that program. and also, we are not talking about people trying to flood the u.s. instead thshlgs is is a politic protest highlighting u.s. approach to refugees and to asylum. the reason why trump is agitated is beyond this. the first is we wants the wall. he wants $25 billion for the wall. congress is not giving it to him. they will only give him $1.6 billion. he threatened to shut down the govern

toxicology centre, specialising in chemical hazards, and simon cotton, a chemist from the university of birminghamcal composition of novichok. what should we know about it? good evening. novichok is the most recent family of nerve agency developed, it includes compounds of phosphorus and they both work in broadly the same way, they knock out an enzyme in the body. the novichok agents are much less well known, they don't necessarily have treatments to hand so we necessarily have treatments to hand so we must congratulate the team in salisbury who have been looking after the skripals and other victims of poisoning. chris, tell us more about the impact it can have on the human body. sorry, that question was a chris, simon. ithink human body. sorry, that question was a chris, simon. i think simon has pointed this out, they are all affecting the system of the body that controls syria sanctions, it affects the muscles, the breathing, heart rate. when you put in a nerve agent like this it hyper — excites the entire nervous system that affects these, you get these painful interactions, frightened secretio

. >> let's discuss this with scott lucas, professor of international politics at the university of birminghamigators are looking into michael cohen's business dealings. we don't know but some of those may end up involving donald trump. does that cross the president's red line? >> well, donald trump certainly has said it would in the past when he said there should be no investigation of any of his dealings or those of the trump organization and more specifically and in sharp contrast to what kellyanne conway said, after michael cohen's office and hotel were raided by the fbi on a warrant on april the 9th, trump and this is according to multiple sources including those inside the white house was ready to dismiss deputy attorney general rod rosenstein and special counsel robert mueller who oversees the trump russia investigation. that's how agitated he was. it took a visit by rosenstein on april the 12th to tell trump, okay, the offices of cohen have been raided but you're not a target in this investigation, unspoken, yet trump settled down. michael cohen knows everything about the trump organiz

let's talk about it with scott lucas, a professor of international politics of the university of birmingham. this romney story begs the question how much about his candidacy is about the ongoing republican dance about how close you go to donald trump, when you pull back from donald trump? because we have seen a mixture here when it comes to romney. >> that is a general question. and we have seen paul ryan decide to avoid it by not running again. but in the case of mitt romney, that is utah is not a republican state. it has a large mormon population and they have been quite critical of trump or most of the population over the hard line -- that -- mormons does not -- statements mean that romney has to be careful as he and a half gaits, given that he has -- a first round nomination for the senate race in november. >> will he flip story about mr. trump's fixer lawyer, michael cohen that has the president flipping out as we saw in our story. what could be the damage to donald trump if cohen does flip and cooperate are investigators? >> i think -- realize that michael cohen is one of trump's long

scott is a professor of international politics at the university of birmingham, live in birmingham at this hour. glad to have you with us. it was just a year and two days ago, scott, that the u.s. president responded sending rockets in after a similar chemical attack. last week here is what he told his supporters about syria. listen. >> we're knocking the hell out of isis. we'll be coming out of syria like very soon. let the other people take care of it now. >> and now the about-face. the president promising there will be a big price to pay as the white house considers its next move. how do you suppose they, scott, maneuver these many mixed messages? >> well, first of all, you need to realize the context in which donald trump made that statement yesterday, reversing his decision. he made that simply after watching television and seeing images of those killed in the chemical attacks by the assad regime. and he responded on twitter. it's one thing to lash out on twitter. it's another to make plans. the question is not what is president trump doing, but what is the pentagon presenting to

joining me now is professor craig jackson who is a professor of occupational health psychology at birmingham city universityhere have been a couple of -- there have been a couple of incidents. what ties these female acts together, really, is that we know very little about their motives relative to what we understand about when men perpetrate mass shootings. to go back to 1979, there was an infamous case where16—year—old brenda spencer opened fire at an elementary school, and she killed two individuals and injured several more. she did that from the comfort of her own bedroom window. when taken alive and captured, and she is still in captivity to this day, how reasons behind what she did have never truly been established. possibly more useful for us to understand, is the 2006 case of a young woman who was an employee of the us postal service who opened fire at a sorting office where she had been dismissed a few months previously. she also had some moments... but, what we do see in both of these cases, and possibly in the case that we had yesterday, is that it the case that we had yesterday, is thatitis the c

of criminology from staffordshire university, who's written that the spike in violent crime in london can't be solved by a new york police crackdown. professor treadwelljoins us live from our studio in birminghams. how useful are those comparisons between the murder rate in london and that of new york? i think that is somewhat ofa new york? i think that is somewhat of a red herring. the press have been the quickly seize on the fact that the murder rate in london is higher than in new york. but it is a berry short—term thing. it has happened over two months. new york in many ways is not the benchmark for the united states of america more generally. in some ways it is a good comparison for london, because of size, there are some similarities. i think we somewhat get lost if we start to think that in london the problems are in any way like those based on the united states of america. which are the statistics that are useful in trying to understand what is happening in london? i don't think it is necessarily about statistics. normally if you look at murder rates, for example, you see the united states and its violent crime rate generally at its homicide rate is much higher than the united kingdom.
