The u. N. Security Council Unanimously vote today set off panel to investigate chemical weapons attacks in syria. Two west has repeatedly blames the attacked on the government of president Bashar Al Asaad, now a team will identify responsibility paving the way for possible sanctions. Gabriel has more now from the United Nations in new york. Theres agreement on the what, now the u. N. Security council wants to know the who. Will those please raise their hands. A unanimous vote to set up a panel of experts known as a joint investigative mechanism to finally point the finger of blame for the kem can call weapon withs and chlorine attacks in syria. It is a significant can step, the first time blame can be assigned to the perpetrators. This sen as clear and powerful message, to all those involves in weapons attacks. The joint investigative mechanism will identify you, if you gas people. It bears repeating as well, that we need to bring the same unity that we have shown today to urgently find a political solution to the Syrian Crisis the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons known as opcw concluded that chlorine has systematically and repeatedly been used as a when, but they never had the mandate to assign blame. Russia supporting the resolution was a rare sign of agreement with the u. S. , but russia continues to view with skepticism the allies axizations that syrian president Bashar Al Asaad was responsible. The question of who used chlorine is still unanswered. Partly because the existing mechanism of the u. N. And opcw does not have a happen date to identify those participating in such acts. Moreover, we became witnesses of many politicized statements in this regard, which were clearly meant to be propaganda. Horrific scenes of human suffering and the aftermath of the attack in 2013 that killed hundreds which spurred International Action to end syrias Chemical Weapons Program but once those responsible are names what next . It could lead to sanctions but it is not automatic, the u. N. Scouter council would need to take that up again, separately at a later date. Blame might be assigned but it wont happen neckly. Ban kimoon now has 20 days to issue a recommendation on how this Investigative Panel should be set up, after that they will have 90 days before they even need to issue their initial report on their findings. Everyone hopes that will be one with step closer to bringing justice to the victims. Survived the chemical attack while living in syria, he welcomes the announcement of the u. N. Panel. I think what happened today is a small but yet very important step towards accountability, and having justice inside of syria. And regime is crossing every single red line, humanity every drew, it isnt just about bams red lines the regime had killed more than 400,000 people, they have tortures more than 50,000 people, thousands and thousands of women have been raped, thousands of children have been killed. More than 11 Million People have been displaced over 70 over syria is completely destroyed by asaad regime. Fighting between rebel factions and the asaad government is continuing in the country, leaving it increasingly unstable with no clear winning side. Fighters are reported to have kidnapped 230 people, after seizing a town from Government Forces in the strategic holmes province, many of those captures are christians. Pressure is building. A leading military think tank says asaad has lost control of 84 of the country. Saturday marks one year against the air takes, strikes began in syria one month later, critics of the campaign say it hasnt but enough to stop isil operating in the region. He describe as very narrow mission in iraq. Today i authorize two operations in iraq, targeted air strikes to protect our american personnel. And a huen ma tin effort to help save thousands of iraqi civilians who are trapped on a mountain without food, and water, and facing almost certain death. Six weeks later the mission expanded bombing the stack of iraq in syria with the help of gulf countries. The plan power to fly the mission, u. S. Soldiers would train iraqi cans and moderate syrians to do the fighting on the ground, a year in the administration saying the plan is working, critics say it just isnt. If you look at any of the matrix, the data you have to say no. In terms of numbers of recruits and fighters that isis has on their side, it has surged by the thousands. In terms of territory they have, they have held on to an enormous amount of territory. This is the territory controlled just before u. S. Fighters took to the skies. This is what it controls now. The Training Program they hoped would help retake territory have had problems. Troops refuse to fight to hold. And in syria, a year after it began, only 54 fighters have been trained. The pentagon says almost immediately after joining the fight, five were captured one killed and many more deserted. But they held last summer. Overall, isil has lost more than 17,000 square kilometers of territory in northern syria. The pentagon says so far they have spent 41 million on training a fraction of the cost of the overall campaign, more than 3 billion almost 6,000 air strikes. Just in the first year of the fight, the president says lit take a generation to win. For more on the situation in syria, he is a former advisor to the u. S. Defense department in iraq, and also advised Iraqi Security forces. He now lectured at the National Defense in washington. Thank you for joining us here on al jazeera, we appreciate your time. Focusing on isil, juan year since the start of the attacks a u. S. General put it earlier that the plan was to degrade and destroy isil, certainly hasnt been destroyed, arguably it has been degraded do you think that as our correspondent put it it is just a matter of time . It is only a matter of time we have a credible force on the ground to work with u. S. Air strikes. The underrish element was an effective fighting force when it was coupled with air strikes it allowed them to hold on, but this rebel force that we are building, isnt working because you basically put a sunni military agent fighter in a boxing ring with five opponents and say you can only hit back against one, and thats isis. So you cant find iranian in hezbollah, you cant fight asaad forces. And the u. S. Is very hesitant to authorize air strikes when these forces are calling them in. And now we cant find them. Thats one of the biggest problems they could have been kidnapped or just melted away into the population because they have a target. So do you know the u. S. Strategy of training the fighters there, is just flawed from the start. The betting process is keeping capability fighters out. We will not allow anyone to take part in the program, unless they sign a waiver saying they will not attack asaads forces. Anybody who has any affiliation with a former military, or any other sunni Insurgent Group is disqualified so you basically have people with no experience, being trained be i the americans injected into a country, we only train 60. To put these 60 back on the battlefield, with a big target on their backs everybody who is vetted out of the Training Program goes back and tells isis, who these guys are and then they get kidnapped or kills or intimidated. No, it is not working. We vet the tribal sheikhs to make sure they are right guys and they build the force thats what happened in the iraq with with the sons of iraq program, we entrusted the leaders to build their own force. That vetting process is leaving it to this criteria is just vetting out to fighters we need. What about putting american boots on the ground, or at least western part of the coalition, and having their own military force there to assist others as well against isil. What worked in iraq was these units that we stood up and armed have the ability to call in an american air strike, and the ability to call in an American Quick Reaction force. But they were primarily used to provide intelligence, to the americans on the whereabouts of al quaida leaders in iraq, during the surge, or in this case isis, leaders or isis targets that come can into these neighborhoods. We with isnt simply build a ford and debt it to take baxter story, when it is outgunned and outmanned. So you need a trusted force, and then you need to embed it with special operations advisors that are able to call in air vehicles and able to call in Quick Reaction forces. You mentioned earlier, in the interview, which was retaken to isil, another city that that happened to, so i guess you can argue that isil has been contained somehow. In this year, if not necessarily destroyed do you think things stand as they will as they are thats the situation we will keep on seeing . But not eratuation of isil. I dont know that it is containment. I just dont think we built a force to take baxter story, so we havent built a force back to take back mosul, we havent seen a force to take back ramanny, there are very capable forces willing to protect kurdish areas and shia areas. We are not see academy credible force. Be able to plan attacks to retake territory, or to further push into areas. We just dont have one, and now with the turks involved now, helping us with the fight, they are attacking the curds that helped us keep kobane. I wouldnt quantity to join this force, because you dont know who is going to hit you, being an air strike, and you dont know whether you will be supported when you confront isis. Thank you. At least 40 people have been killed in the space of just 24 hours. Jennifer glass has the latest from kabul.

The farm in witness germany. The summer months are an important time for him. Soon he will have to sow grape seed in these fields. If he could he would prefer to use powerful pesticide to protect the growing crop. But, in recent years, a ban has been introduced on certain types of pesticide and others have been examined closely in long term studies. Meaning eric must do without them. This is the best option. So you only put the pesticide where you really need it. We sow the grape seeds at the beginning of september, and then sprouts from the beginning with protecting against pests. The perfect way of getting the product into the seedling to protect the plant, and deal with the pests. But some scientific studies suggest the effect it has on the bees, is devastating. The bees the effort where they come from or where they have to go, they are social insect whose have ensure that they are able to return to their population to the hive to be accurate, they unlearn that under certain circumstances so in the first instance we see changes of behavior. And ifs to much, they die. The Chemical Firm bia has manufactured pesticides and fungus sides for many years. It rejects the suggestion that they are to blame for falling bee numbers. Recently, it is begun labeling sol of the products containing as being safe for bees. Bio believes declining bee populations may be caused by a mixture of factors, notably, the veromite. Some finds which are made on individual bees or the laboratory and the artificial conditions have suggested some kind of effects, however, these kind of effects were never found under realistic conditions to effect whole bee colonies in the field. Some suggest the effect is worth more than 12 billion euros to the everyone economy every year. Which explains why a long term decline in the bee population, could have a devastating effect.
