A chemical-weapons attack on a rebel-held town near the Syrian city of Idlib killed at least 85 civilians, the deadliest such assault in Syria's long and bloody civil war since August 2013. Bashar al-Assad's regime denied responsibility: only the Russians said they believed it. International condemnation came thick and fast, including at the un Security Council. Donald Trump said Syria had crossed "many, many lines", but did not say what, if anything, he would do.
