Hello, I'm Jonathan Izard. The United States, Germany and France have backed Britain's conclusion that Russia carried out an attack on a former Russian spy in England earlier this month. The four countries jointly condemned Russia, saying it was the first offensive use of a nerve agent in Europe since the Second World War. They have called on Moscow to make a full disclosure to the International Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. Russia rejects the claims. The US National Security advisor H.R. McMaster gave this statement. We believe that Russia was responsible for this attack and we call on the Russian government to answer all question related to this incident and to provide full information to the OPCW. No nation, Russia, China or anybody else, any other nation, should be using chemical weapons in nerve agent. President Putin has met with his security council, which expressed grave concern of what he called Britain's destructive and provoctive position.

A pedestrian bridge stretching across a street at Florida International University has collapsed in the US city of Miami, killing a number of people. Many more people are reported to be trapped in the rubble. Television footage showed emergency services tending to victims at the scene, searching for people in the debris and loading others on stretchers into ambulances. The 950-ton bridge was early opened on Saturday.

The court in Israel has suspended a government plan to deport tens of thousands of African migrants who entered the country illegally. A group of migrants from Eritrea and Sudan had mounted a legal challenge. From Jerusalem, here is Yulant Neil. Under Israel's plan announced in January, these migrants, mostly from Eritrea and Sudan, were being given incentives to leave for an unnamed Africa country, understood to be Rwanda or Uganda,or face imprisonment with eventual forced expulsion. Many of those affected claimed they were a silence seekers and the government's move drew criticism from the United Nations Refugee Agency and Israeli anti-foreign activists. Now following a petition, the Supreme Court is giving the state until the 26th of March to provide further information. Until then, migrants can't be deported to a third country.
