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

:00:14.:00:15.

Last night, America launched attacks on Syria,

:00:16.:00:17.

These missiles were fired into Syria from American warships

:00:18.:00:26.

The target was a military base belonging to troops that support

:00:27.:00:32.

President Trump says he ordered the missile strikes after an attack

:00:33.:00:39.

in Syria earlier in the week using chemical weapons.

:00:40.:00:47.

Tonight I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield

:00:48.:00:53.

in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched.

:00:54.:01:01.

It is in this vital national security interest

:01:02.:01:04.

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

:01:05.:01:07.

Many countries and many experts have blamed the Syrian government

:01:08.:01:19.

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

:01:20.:01:24.

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

:01:25.:01:28.

The UK Government says it fully support the US strikes against the

:01:29.:01:37.

airbase. Now President Trump has taken action

:01:38.:01:40.

but everyone is waiting And why do they cause such shock

:01:41.:01:42.

and anger when they're used? Chemical weapons are toxic chemicals

:01:43.:01:48.

that are used to hurt or kill. They were used in World War I more

:01:49.:01:55.

than 100 years ago. They caused such horror that in 1925

:01:56.:02:00.

countries agreed to an international Even in war there are rules that

:02:01.:02:03.

countries agreed to. Some of those about the types

:02:04.:02:07.

of weapons that can be used. 20 years ago there was

:02:08.:02:11.

an agreement called 192 nations, including Syria,

:02:12.:02:13.

have signed it, agreeing to destroy all their chemical weapons,

:02:14.:02:23.

which is why there is a lot of anger about the suspected attack,

:02:24.:02:26.

in a country which has been at war Is it OK to go on holiday

:02:27.:02:29.

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

:02:30.:02:35.

decided no yesterday, and that your parents must

:02:36.:02:37.

follow your school's It's after one girl's dad

:02:38.:02:40.

:02:41.:02:46.

holiday that her school The judges said they can

:02:47.:02:49.

affect kids' learning, But the dad involved said parents

:02:50.:02:53.

should be able to decide what's Some students have been

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

:02:59.:03:05.

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

:03:06.:03:08.

time for holidays. The school should know what happens

:03:09.:03:10.

before they go so I think the parents should negotiate

:03:11.:03:14.

with the school before they go. I think they should be allowed

:03:15.:03:18.

but if it is a couple of days it is fine but if it is more

:03:19.:03:21.

than a week then no. I do not think they should be

:03:22.:03:26.

punished at all because If it is more than one or two weeks

:03:27.:03:29.

then they should be punished and if it is just a few days then

:03:30.:03:36.

I still think that is fine. And we want to hear from you today

:03:37.:03:42.

about what you think Are there some times when it's OK

:03:43.:03:45.

to go away during school or do you think it should

:03:46.:03:50.

never be allowed? The Gaming Baftas took
