This is this is the cbs weekend news. Quijano good evening, i am Elaine Quijano. Syrian opposition groups and rescuers are accusing the assad regime of another deadly chemical attack. They say it happened saturday in dow marks near the capital damascus, more than 40 are reported dead. Horrifying scenes, not verified by cbs news, were posted on social media showing corpses, and children gasping and chosenning.

Videos from the aftermath of the alleged chemical attack show apparently lifeless bodies with no obvious injuries. Survivors struggling to breathe, especially children, and being hosed down, as if to remove a substance from their skin. We cannot independently verify any of these videos or confirm whether a chemical attack took place. Survivors, though, reportedly smelled of chlorine, a chemical that can be deadly in enclosed spaces. Its thought to have been widely used as a weapon throughout the syrian conflict. This comes as the Syrian Regime assaults eastern ghouta, it is the last stronghold of Syrian Rebels close to the countrys capital, damascus. But the regime has denied any involvement in this alleged use of a chemical weapon, and so has its ally russia.

Responded to the Khan Sheikhoun attack with strikes on a Syrian Regime air base, nearly 60 cruise missiles targeting regime aircraft and ammunition dumps. The question now includes whether outside investigators will be given access to the site of this alleged chemical attack, whether investigations find that a chemical was used, and if it was chlorine, whether that will draw an international response. Elaine. Quijano holly williams, thank you. Now lets bring in face the nation host margaret brennan. Margaret, beyond making statements how is President Trump expected to respond to this latest incident in syria . Well, the president is leaning hard into the idea of taking action as Senior Administration officials are still waiting on intelligence to confirm exactly what substance was used the and exactly who used it in syria. But they are near certain that this was an attack carried out by the assad regime and near certain that the president will decide to take action. They previously have drawn up plans for a military response at the pentagon should the assad regime, regime decide to once again cross that red line the president drew last year when they used sarin gas. The administration has decided that a chlorine gas, chlorine gas attack in and of itself something that is not a banned substance under International Law but is a chemical weapon would justify military action.

Reporter President Trump is also defending his relationship with his chief of staff john kelly, amid reports kelly has recently threatened to resign, frustrated with the president s decision making.
