There one welcome to the Program Experts from the u. N. And the chemical weapons watchdog playing the Syrian Government for a chemical attack in april now over eighty people were killed when the nerve agent sarin was dropped on to the town of current she couldnt and a warning you may find some of the images in hushed report disturbing. This is one of the gasping for moments after government warplanes bombed a hole in the it live neighborhood is a rebel stronghold within minutes hundreds of people were rushed to hospitals suffering asphyxiation and other agonizing symptoms after they were exposed to the nerve agent sarin gas. This is one of more than a year later she survived but more than eighty people mostly children were killed. We are still traumatized by the attack we face the near death experience its impact remains what that gets by nick attacks from time to time and starts banging your head when the walls. The attack triggered an International Outcry and growing calls for sanctions against the Syrian Government. Denies using chemical weapons but u. N. War crimes investigators say they gathered evidence to confirm the attack was carried out by Government Forces those who survived and chose to stay in kind we never fully recover from the ordeal. I still try to victims through their will up long term complications patients still suffering from blurred vision neurological problems and the biggest challenge of course is psychological impact of the attack people lost their loved ones and we still treat them the use or began helping others in the immediate aftermath before becoming a victim himself he woke up in hospital days later to devastating news so. I started carrying thick seems to ambulances but many died on the spot i saw rescuers rushing into the area but as soon as they started the rescue the victims collapsed and died i collapsed but when i woke up i was told my family was gone i had lost his father mother and two brothers hes one of many people who feel they have been betrayed by the world and left to struggle on. Syria days after the attack the us launched missiles into the air base that was used by syrian warplanes to drop sarin gas on hand but the american response fell short of the expectations of millions of syrias forefather hunching what attack should have been a turning point in the syrian conflict and a wake up call for the International Community as well but ill just go into my camera is that the United Nations and joins you now hi there mike so what more can you tell us. Well its been thought confirmed that the joint investigative mechanism thats a body thats investigating Chemical Attacks in syria has released its report and it confirms in that report that indeed the Syrian Government must be held accountable for that sarin gas attack now its important to note that the Fact Finding Mission which is the investigative arm of jim did not actually go to the site of hunchy couldnt they said that the security situation was too dangerous to actually go there however they contend that they gathered and nothing concrete evidence to be able to make this conclusion and the joint investigative mechanism now confirms something that the u. S. The u. K. Had long argued that the Syrian Government was wholly responsible for that sarin gas attack in her entre kiran and mike what about the joint investigative mechanism the one thats up for renewal how will this affect things well this is a very important question because the annual mandate of jim message is called expires in mid november now earlier this week the u. S. Introduced a resolution in the Security Council asking for the mandate to be renewed before this report was released however russia vetoed that resolution saying that it first wanted to see the contents of the report and effectively judge whether or not jim was carrying out honest and unbiased work or whether there was biased within its reporting now what we will be hearing in the days ahead is probably argument between russia and other members of the Security Council about the nature of the report that has just been released and its russias reaction to this report that may well determine whether or not jims a new mandate is a renewed come november my camera there live from the United Nations thank you.
