Like manufacturing, the ISM non-manufacturing index stands firmly in expansionary territory.

The largest part of the US economy cooled in March, according to surveys conducted by
the Institute of Supply Management and Markit Economics.

ISM's non-manufacturing purchasing manager's index slowed to 55.2, lower than
 the forecast for 57. Readings above 50 indicate that there's still expansion.

New orders, employment, and pricing in the service sector all picked up, but not as
quickly as in February.

    ISM said some managers were uncertain about the impact of
President Donald Trump's immigration, trade, and health care policies.
Others remarked about worker shortages and not being able to fill their vacant positions,

which shows a tight labor market .

Meanwhile, Markit Economics reported the slowest growth of the US service
sector in six months in March.

The firm's PMI, was 52.8, lower than the expectation for 53.1.

"The loss of momentum is linked to weaker inflows of new work, with the surveys
providing some evidence that demand is being dented in part by higher prices,"
said Chris Williamson, the chief business economist at IHS Markit, in the release.

Markit also found that business confidence has slipped from levels seen earlier this
year, suggesting that some of the post-election euphoria is wearing off. Service
providers hired at the slowest pace since October 2016, Markit said.

See chilling footage & photos as 11 kids are killed & left to foam at the mouth after hospital is bombed during Syria gas airstrike

Assad chemical attack in Syria's Idlib kills at least 100 civilians kill...

   Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad has been accused of war crimes
after a chilling footage was released showing how airstrike attacks
against hospitals and civilian locations killed 100 people including 11
children who foamed at their mouths as they were killed by the gas
attacks on Wednesday morning.

 

In the new released footage of the Tuesday night/Wednesday
morning attack in the north eastern Syrian town of Khan Sheikhoun, in
rebel held Idlib, traumatized eye witnesses described how birds fell
from the sky during a chemical/gas attack that left at least 100 dead
(kids included) with even a Syrian hospital being bombed.

With photos to prove the attacks, the eye witnesses said as the birds
fell, children could be seen foaming from their mouths as they struggled
to breathe – and it is now highly believed by International politics
observers that the United Nations will now ramp up pressure on Syrian
dictator Bashar al-Assad.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a  British-based group said
many of those killed from the air attacks died from suffocation and the
effects of the gas.

The group also said 18 people died at first but the death toll later
rose to 35 and now 100 - including 11 children while hundreds of others
are feared injured.

According to eye witnesses, the attacks on the rebel-held city are
believed to be loyal to the government of Syrian president Bashar
al-Assad.

Different photos of the heinous attack are now circulating on social media.

British Prime Minister, Theresa May said: "I'm appalled by the reports
that there's been a chemical weapons attack on a town south of Idlib
allegedly by the Syrian regime.

"We condemn the use of chemical weapons in all circumstances. If proven,
this will be further evidence of the barbarism of the Syrian regime. 

"The UK has led international efforts to call to account the Syrian
regime and Daesh for the use of chemical weapons and I would urge the
Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to investigate this
incident as soon as possible.

"I'm very clear that there can be no future for Assad in a stable Syria
which is representative of all the Syrian people and I call on all the
third parties involved to ensure that we have a transition away from
Assad. We cannot allow this suffering to continue."

U.S President Donald Trump was also alarmed by the atrocities committed
in Syria, and blamed former President Obama for letting the situation
get this bad.

"These heinous actions by the Bashar al-Assad regime are a consequence
of the past administration's weakness and irresolution," Trump said.

 

His comments are believed to be in reference to Obama's failure to
strike Syria in 2013 after Obama said a chemical attack by Assad would
cross a US 'red line'.

 

U.S Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said;

 "While we continue to monitor the terrible situation, it is clear that
this is how Bashar al-Assad operates: with brutal, unabashed barbarism.
Those who defend and support him, including Russia and Iran, should have
no illusions about Assad or his intentions. Anyone who uses chemical
weapons to attack his own people shows a fundamental disregard for human
decency and must be held accountable."

The Syrian American Medical Society head doctor, Ahmad Tarakji said;

“This should strike at the very core of our humanity.”

The National Coalition in a statement said: 

'The UN Security Council should convene an emergency session..., open an
immediate investigation and take the necessary measures to ensure the
officials, perpetrators and supporters are held accountable". Failure to
do so will be understood as a message of blessing to the regime for its
actions." 

'This regime of the criminal Bashar carries out attacks, using shells containing chemical gas".

The Syrian army has completely rejected the allegations, saying they will never use chemicals to attack anyone.
