over it iran denies it but the u.s. says it has proof that iran is supplying arms to who the rebels in yemen. blogs are robin you're watching al-jazeera live my headquarters here in doha also coming up. a big. opportunity the latest round of syria talks ends with negotiators blaming each other for their failure. also the u.s. of pulls the plug on that neutrality we'll explain what that could mean for millions of internet users and chile's a presidential candidates wrap up their campaigns just days ahead of a tight runoff election. welcome to the program the united states has presented what it calls undeniable evidence that iran is supplying weapons to the fighters in yemen the u.s.

ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley showed off what washington says are parts of an iranian made ballistic missile it was fired from yemen last month and nearly hit the airport in the saudi capital riyadh iran calls the allegations unfounded irresponsible and provoke a tive and denies supplying weapons to the who thiis saudi arabia is demanding the u.n. security council hold iran accountable iran's prohibited from supplying selling or even transferring weapons outside the country unless it's approved by the security council our state department correspondent roslyn jordan has more. the u.s. ambassador to the united nations the paley traveled from an institution devoted to diplomacy to a military base on thursday to point the finger at iran the trumpet ministration is accusing to han of illegally supplying weapons to groups across the middle east explosive boats drones and high am short range ballistic missiles haley told

reporters she was standing in front of one of those alleged missiles these are the recovered pieces of a missile fired by who the militants from yemen and a saudi arabia the messes the nestles intended target with a civilian airport in riyadh. the november fourth attack on the riyadh airport is one of the many clashes between the saudi backed government and who the rebels trying to conquer the country and the attack is mentioned in the u.n. secretary general's latest report on iran's compliance with the nuclear deal but officials say that mention is not a confirmation there's no conclusive evidence about the provenance of those missiles but you can read the report for yourself even before the press conference was over the iranians rejected haley's charges these accusations seek also to cover up for the saudi war crimes in yemen with the u.s. complicity and divert international and regional attention from the stalemate war

of aggression against the yemenis that has so far killed more than ten thousand civilians displaced three million crippled yemen's infrastructure and health system and pushed the country to the brink of largest famine the world has seen for decades as the un has warned the swedish ambassador to the un told reporters he is concerned the u.s. is trying to find new reasons to scrap the iran nuclear deal as far as i mean informed that agreement is being implemented by iran on the nuclear issue now we would be very happy to discuss with american and other. as you know the broader role of iran in the region analysts say while checking iran's behavior is important the trumpet ministration is taking a risk i would hope that there would be more evidence put forward general and for that matter for. obvious. claims to have evidence evidence for that he made it clear the u.s.

is doing what needs to be done for the sake of national security you will see us build a coalition to really push back against iran and what they're doing well warning to tell han at least for now i'm still in jordan al jazeera washington and reza marashi is the research director of the national iranian american council he thinks the trumpet ministration is selectively picking facts to prop up its case against iran this is one of many steps that we've seen that is that are troubling precisely because it has similar components as has similar characteristics cherry picking intelligence from a u.n. report that was far from conclusive is exactly what nikki haley did today and that's the same kind of cherry picking that we saw in two thousand to two thousand and three by the bush administration and the run up to or the iraq war so we have to be diligent about this there's no question that the region is in flux and it's been in flux really since the america's invasion of iraq in two thousand and three and what we've seen now really since the trumpet ministration has come into office

is the first american presidential administration to accept full scale unadulterated the saudi emma roddie israeli view of what security in the region should look like and that's why you see a trail of tears spanning from yemen to qatar to lebanon to iraq and to syria so really we need to take a step back here and focus less on military potential solutions and filling the diplomacy deficit that exists in the middle east. a missed opportunity the u.n. special envoy for syria is describing the latest round of geneva talks which ended without progress staffan de mistura blames the syrian government negotiators the government is accusing the opposition instead david chaytor is following those developments in geneva the eighth round of negotiations and yet another failure for the united nations in geneva the syrian government's team refused point blank to

meet face to face with their opposition counterparts they say no talks will be held with the opposition as long as it insists on president assad's removal from power and the opposition has presented us with a new position and has imposed preconditions on the talks in geneva these come from their handlers on the other side the un's mediator stefan de mistura couldn't hide his frustration he said carriage was needed to win the peace a big meat opportunity. i golden opportunity at the end of this year when in fact duty there a clear indication by many thighs that the military operations are coming to a cloth the leader of the opposition delegation though was equally forthright pinning the blame for the failure squarely on the shoulders of the team from damascus. the regime has refused to wreck talks refused indirect talks refuse

even the agenda put forward by. rejected everything it means the regime rejected the peace process after nearly seven years of civil war in syria with the death toll now stretching beyond four hundred thousand and with millions of refugees force on the home now is the time to find a new initiative behind the scenes talks are underway to find a method to revive this peace process but ultimately a solution lies in the hands of two leaders in washington and moscow david chaytor al-jazeera geneva well the white house says north korea was among the issues discussed in the latest phone conversation between president trump and his russian counterpart vladimir putin while in beijing the visiting south korean president and his hosts put on a united front over the threat from pyongyang brown has more. this is a difficult visit for south korea's leader. unlike the a few suv reception afforded president donald trump five weeks ago the welcoming
