MEPs Mick Wallace and Clare Daly have rejected claims that they have spread "fake news" about an alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria.

Mr Wallace had on Friday questioned the conclusion of a report the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) at the European Parliament's committee of security and defence. The report concluded that the Assad regime had used chlorine gas in an attack on the city of Douma in 2018.
