Will US respond to renewed Syria chemical attacks?

In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective.

Reports of a chemical weapons attack in Syria have been discussed by the UN Security council. We ask if there's any likelihood of an international intervention? The Transport Secretary tells us why the East Coast Mainline may have to be taken back into government control. Also Brazil battles to contain a spike in Yellow fever. And on the eve the centenary of the Representation of the People Act which gave some women the right to vote, we remember Countess Markievicz, the first woman to be elected to the Commons.
