Trump promises "forceful" response to the attack, as Western leaders consider action

Trump promises "forceful" response to the attack, as Western leaders consider action.

Russia says it wants international inspectors to visit the site of a suspected chlorine gas attack in Syria. But it says no chemical weapons were used there, and has rejected a US resolution that would set up an inquiry into who carried out the alleged attack.

Also in the programme: President Xi promises to open up sectors of its economy to greater international competition and; Africa's overlooked scientists get their own journal to raise their profile.
