the french president said he has proof. it's hard to know how you will get samples to a testing lap and stamp an approval on it in such a period of time. and he said also at least it was chlorine, though he did suggest they were still looking at the nature of the evidence here. he also talked about how they wanted not to escalate matters here. it depends so much about the kind of the gas that was used. in the past there was military action after a nerve agent called sarin that caused donald trump to launch 59 tomahawk missiles. this time there appears to u.n. observers to be muscular victims in the horrible videos and it was also noted the smell of chlorine. it seems like a mixture may have been deployed here. the question is what kind of evidence is the u.s. willing to present. that is something the syrian government says they're in lebanon on their way to syria, they have said nothing about their movements. they expect to start work on saturday. you have a very tight window, if the u.s. wants to take action before the ins

the french like the fact he's now putting france back on the world stage. he's turning france more book is a diplomatic player, which it hasn't been over the last few years. so they like that stat. at the same time, there is some skepticism about excessive sort of franco american closeness. traditionally, if you go back to the goal, they like to have their independence both from the u.s., and they like to display that kind of independence. they don't like an excessively on seek kwees relationship with america either. it all depends on the details, on what macron can get in return. i mean, this relationship itself is fascinating. you couldn't get two leaders who had more contrasting world views, and at the beginning i think nobody expected macron and trump to get anywhere in there sort of personal relationship. one is the, a brash former reality tv host. the other one, macron is a philosophy graduate. he is really quite intellectual. he can recite packages from moliere by heart. this is not your typical, even for the french, this is not a typical leader. it'

and french troops had fought the german side by side. it's a rather touchy feely bromance i like to. call and trouble is that a male friendship with political benefits. because they're trumping mccraw we've got thirty years apart we've got an intellectual got a t.v. junkie going to so good an internationalist i'm an isolationist what is the glue between the two explain it to us i mean and if yes yes i could see that i depict as they like to play to each other with the receipt other bit it's always as a small talk and the clue i think is said both what trump actually like so it's my call and what they also said both they are both outsiders not coming from guest have alicia meant to so it came into power by by an ex are they now a second center. and. they are both safe made man like tom always underlined on his own. and came from bank. position and they are both very powerful but they are both in bottles at this point it's not a must but i saw i saw one very recent survey of their level of dissatisfaction with the amount of oil mccraw in f

for joining us there from london i hope we have a channel and french president has issued a statement regarding the joint strike in syria saying we cannot tolerate the normalization of chemical weapons which represents an immediate danger to the syrian people and to our collective security france and its partners will resume efforts today at the united nations to allow the implementation of an international mechanism that will establish responsibility stop impunity and prevent the syrian regime from doing this again. joins us now from paris and it's a very similar language that we've been seeing from the french president and the british prime minister to reason may that be they cannot allow the normalization of chemical weapons. yes that's right i mean the french president in that communique from the elisei is pretty much saying that he felt he had no choice because the use of chemical weapons is a violation of international law of rights and something had to be done to show that it's simply not acceptable now what this statement also says is that the french president is convinced tha

that was a statement from the french presidential office. in terms of the british involvement, more details have emerged. what we know is that it involved four aircraft, four tornado gra aircraft, firing storm shadow missiles at a military plant where it is believed to syrian regime has been storing and stock tiling chemical weapons. —— stockpiling. it is about 15 miles west of homs. the ministry of defence says it is believed to be in a bursar populated area, minimising the potential for civilian casualties, which as we have heard is one of the aims of this operation, clearly targeting chemical weapons capabilities of syria and seeking to minimise any civilian casualties. —— sparsely populated area. indeed, many people who opposed military action say that it doesn't matter how smart the bombs are, people will still die, and the last thing the syrians need is more conflict? that's right. i think that would have weighed heavily on the minds of those planning this operation. the ministry of defence says a lot of effort went into target

thank you. [ speaking in french ] [ applause ] >> the president toasting his french counterpart at the first official state dinner at the white house. jeff zeleny and kate bennett also join us. let's listen in to the president of france. [ speaking in french ] >> mr. president, donald, madame first lady, dear melania, and dear friends. it is an honor for brigitte and myself to be here with our friends you were so kind to invite. >> we'll go back to jeff zeleny and kate bennett. jeff, this is -- why is this the first state dinner? is it traditional that it's taken so long to have one? >> it's not, anderson. actually, this is a little longer than most state dinners. they're so -- it's no question, though, that the reason that france was picked for this was indeed because the trumps were invited last year to paris, to the bastille day parade, and they were treated to quite a show in paris. i remember it well. that's why the president decided to have france be the first state dinner here. and, anderson, i am struck so much by watching the president

french papers do come to the defense of the french government. they argue french customs officials have the right to be in the station according to a french italian agreement. the paper says france's minister of customs you see behind me is going to try to make the italian government understand that when rome thisroom -- week. thomas: finally reports and firm isa moshe -- emoji trying to cash in on brexit. >> that is right, their names are brexit bulldog and starry blue. this article is one of the many pieces of fake news circulating yesterday for april fools' day. this one comes from the observer. the bbc did think this was a joke, but they did -- do not  @

and the french military. their professionalism, their ability to operate globally is really at the very top of the alliance. perhaps at the same level as that of the united kingdom. so i've seen them again and again deliver in afghanistan, libya, the balkans, counterpiracy operations at sea. we would be very wise to work with the french, with the british, with nato to try and do what we can in syria. here i think there is a higher probability of a condominium of views between the united states and france, and let's try and pull nato along into it. that's our best hope of remaining engaged in syria and we should seek to do so, because we have vital national interests at stake there ranging from countering the weapons of mass destruction, dealing with the humanitarian crisis, trying to prevent iran from really running the table in that region. these are important, big issues. dwoent have to have 150,000 troops like we did under my command in afghanistan, chris, but 10,000, 5,000 u.s. troops with the french, wit

the french president has used a speech to the u.s. congress to urge washington to reject nationalism and to preserve the iran nuclear deal though later emanuel macro said he is not confident donald trump will stay within the iran nuclear deal micron has proposed a new agreement being negotiated that with iran that expands on the existing deal here's our white house correspondent kimberly help it. the president of the french republic. before a joint session of the u.s. congress french president emmanuel macross argued the united states should remain part of the iran nuclear agreement it is true to see that this agreement may know the address all concerns and very important concerns this is true but we should not abandon its without having some seen substantial and more substantial instead. a day earlier in meetings at the white house across suggested the current deal to limit iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief should be the cornerstone of a new supplemental agreement. it would address trumps concerns beyond twenty

minority physician used to musical and i come from the french newspaper in the cohen ok so you will travel to washington in a couple of days do you have common messages to donald trump what all your intentions when you travel to the united states for instance for example when it comes to iran to syria for families together with the united states and the u.k. has launched an intervention and do you think that germany should also contribute more to this macro and how questions and i'm going to makkah the president has already come here one year ago you quoted how man has said on that occasion you say that we have to see why the can in this is only the results and i would like to know whether that you will still use that same quote that you used back then of him has. when i quote it has been has. been one year ago i did not know that forming a government would take so long and this is why the challenge that i quoted back then had to be conserved for bits and we pushed it into the royals but now it is coming back again and this is why i invited him to the french president today and i believe t

they were both fairly limited in scope and also in objective the french. frigate which were based in the eastern mediterranean and they used airplanes the british participation was used a limited just for tornadoes which took off from their base in cyprus again in the eastern mediterranean earlier today the prime minister to resign may spoke to the british public and i think it's important to just give a bit of context here i think you've got to remember that in britain there is perhaps more than in france and in the united states are higher level of skepticism about the value and the wisdom of intervening in a conflict in the middle east i think that perhaps this country is more haunted by the disaster in iraq and of course you have a prime minister who doesn't have a majority in parliament and so when she spoke she was careful to say that what britain and its allies are trying to achieve is very specific in scope. last night british french and american armed forces conducted coordinated and targeted strikes to degrade the syrian regime's chemical weapons
