Good morning, I'm Jenny and you're live with Newsround.

:00:00.:00:16.

Last night, America launched attacks on Syria,

:00:17.:00:17.

These missiles were fired into Syria from American warships

:00:18.:00:30.

The target was a military base belonging to troops that support

:00:31.:00:41.

President Trump says he ordered the missile strikes after an attack

:00:42.:00:45.

in Syria earlier in the week using chemical weapons.

:00:46.:00:47.

Many countries and many experts have blamed the Syrian government

:00:48.:00:50.

But the Syrian President says he didn't do it.

:00:51.:00:59.

Tonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield

:01:00.:01:05.

in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.

:01:06.:01:11.

It is in this vital national security interest

:01:12.:01:17.

of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use

:01:18.:01:20.

The world has been meeting all week to see what they should do

:01:21.:01:28.

Now President Trump has taken action but everyone is waiting

:01:29.:01:34.

And why do they cause such shock and anger when they're used?

:01:35.:01:44.

Chemical weapons are toxic chemicals that are used to hurt or kill. They

:01:45.:01:55.

were used in World War I more than 100 years ago. Because such horror

:01:56.:02:01.

that in 1925 countries agreed to an international ban on using them in

:02:02.:02:05.

water. Even in war there are rules that countries agreed to. Some of

:02:06.:02:10.

those about the types of weapons that can be used. 20 years ago there

:02:11.:02:17.

was an agreement called the chemical weapons invention. 122 nations

:02:18.:02:21.

including Syria have signed it, agreeing to destroy all their

:02:22.:02:24.

chemical weapons, which is why there is a lot of anger about the

:02:25.:02:27.

suspected attack in a country which has been at war for more than six

:02:28.:02:29.

years. You can keep up to date throughout

:02:30.:02:31.

the day, with all the latest news about these air strikes at Newsround

:02:32.:02:34.

:02:45.:02:49.

during term time? Well, the country's top court

:02:50.:02:52.

decided no yesterday, and that your parents must

:02:55.:02:56.

refused to pay a fine for taking her on a term-time

holiday that her school The judges said they can

affect kids' learning, But the dad involved said parents

:03:07.:03:09.

should be able to decide what's Some kids have been giving

:03:10.:03:14.

us their thoughts. I don't think they should be allowed

:03:15.:03:25.

to go on holiday in school time because there is a set time for

:03:26.:03:30.

holidays. It is called a holiday. The school should know what happens

:03:31.:03:34.

before they go so I think the parents should negotiate with the

:03:35.:03:37.

school before they go. I think they should be allowed but if it is a

:03:38.:03:42.

couple of days it is fine but if it is more than a week then no. I do

:03:43.:03:47.

not think they should be punished at all because that is a bit mean. If

:03:48.:03:52.

it is more than one or two might weeks then they should be punished

:03:53.:03:57.

and if it is just a few days then I still think that is fine.

:03:58.:04:00.

And we want to hear from you today about what you think

:04:01.:04:03.

Are there some times when it's OK to go away during school

:04:04.:04:09.

or do you think it should never be allowed?

:04:10.:04:11.
