:00:14. > :00:15.Good morning, I'm Jenny and you're live with Newsround.
:00:16. > :00:17.Last night, America launched attacks on Syria,
:00:18. > :00:26.These missiles were fired into Syria from American warships
:00:27. > :00:32.The target was a military base belonging to troops that support
:00:33. > :00:39.President Trump says he ordered the missile strikes after an attack
:00:40. > :00:47.in Syria earlier in the week using chemical weapons.
:00:48. > :00:53.Tonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield
:00:54. > :01:01.in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.
:01:02. > :01:04.It is in this vital national security interest
:01:05. > :01:07.of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use
:01:08. > :01:19.Many countries and many experts have blamed the Syrian government
:01:20. > :01:24.But the Syrian President says he didn't do it.
:01:25. > :01:28.The world has been meeting all week to see what they should do
:01:29. > :01:37.The UK Government says it fully support the US strikes against the
:01:38. > :01:40.airbase. Now President Trump has taken action
:01:41. > :01:42.but everyone is waiting And why do they cause such shock
:01:43. > :01:48.and anger when they're used? Chemical weapons are toxic chemicals
:01:49. > :01:55.that are used to hurt or kill. They were used in World War I more
:01:56. > :02:00.than 100 years ago. They caused such horror that in 1925
:02:01. > :02:03.countries agreed to an international Even in war there are rules that
:02:04. > :02:07.countries agreed to. Some of those about the types
:02:08. > :02:11.of weapons that can be used. 20 years ago there was
:02:12. > :02:13.an agreement called 192 nations, including Syria,
:02:14. > :02:23.have signed it, agreeing to destroy all their chemical weapons,
:02:24. > :02:26.which is why there is a lot of anger about the suspected attack,
:02:27. > :02:29.in a country which has been at war Is it OK to go on holiday
:02:30. > :02:35.during term time? Well, the country's top court
:02:36. > :02:37.decided no yesterday, and that your parents must
:02:38. > :02:40.follow your school's It's after one girl's dad
:02:41. > :02:46.refused to pay a fine for taking her on a term-time
:02:47. > :02:49.holiday that her school The judges said they can
:02:50. > :02:53.affect kids' learning, But the dad involved said parents
:02:54. > :02:58.should be able to decide what's Some students have been
:02:59. > :03:05.giving us their thoughts. I don't think they should be allowed
:03:06. > :03:08.to go on holiday in school time because there is a set
:03:09. > :03:10.time for holidays. The school should know what happens
:03:11. > :03:14.before they go so I think the parents should negotiate
:03:15. > :03:18.with the school before they go. I think they should be allowed
:03:19. > :03:21.but if it is a couple of days it is fine but if it is more
:03:22. > :03:26.than a week then no. I do not think they should be
:03:27. > :03:29.punished at all because If it is more than one or two weeks
:03:30. > :03:36.then they should be punished and if it is just a few days then
:03:37. > :03:42.I still think that is fine. And we want to hear from you today
:03:43. > :03:45.about what you think Are there some times when it's OK
:03:46. > :03:50.to go away during school or do you think it should
:03:51. > :03:52.never be allowed? The Gaming Baftas took
:03:53. > :03:56.place last night. The awards to recognise
:03:57. > :03:59.the best games in the UK Chaotic restaurant kitchen

:04:15. > :04:16.the world's first ship tunnel. The one mile-long and 120-foot wide
:04:17. > :04:24.tunnel will connect two fjords so that ships of up to 20,000 tons
