hello i'm maryam namazie in london you're watching al-jazeera also coming up. clashes break out in the occupied west bank between israeli forces and supporters of jailed palestinian teenager. we report from account for it's an account for the internally displaced in syria as government jets continue to hit opposition targets . and this international take giants descend on the vegas strip we check out what's on offer at the consumer electronics show. welcome to the program our top story al-jazeera has been given access to an unpublished u.n. report that quote a cold the extent of human rights violations and documents possible war crimes in yemen the findings presented to the security council a sharply critical of saudi led coalition as strikes which of cause the majority of civilian deaths in the war the report also bolsters accusations by the us that

iranian weapons have been supplied to who the rebels which breaks a u.n. embargo the united arab emirates is accused of running torture camps in yemen where people have allegedly been beaten and electrocuted their report paints a devastating picture of a conflict which has left more than ten thousand people dead and led to widespread famine and displacement diplomatic editor james bass who saw the report as more. this report which hasn't been made public but which i have read will be very tough reading for the fifteen members of the u.n. security council is critical of all sides in the war in yemen critical of the saudi led coalition for civilian casualties it says that some of those who planned and executed airstrikes which have ended up targeting civilians might be subject to sanctions that some of the security council will have to decide on it says that one of the countries involved in that coalition the u.a.e.

has been responsible for torture in yemen it talks about beatings electrocution constrained suspension the use of what it calls the cage confinement in a cage in the sunlight and the denial of medical treatment criticism too though for the who theories and for iran it says that there appears to be evidence that military equipment and drones have actually been transferred from iran to the who theories again that could be a breach of u.n. resolutions adam baron is a visiting fellow airplane council on foreign relations it told us it's unlikely the un report will be followed up by diplomatic action in yemen these were crime allegations have been going around and been voiced by a number of u.n. officials for some time don't get me wrong i think this is very important that these things are being documented if not you know perhaps for immediate action for the sake of the future and for it to be recorded in history but i think in

a lot of ways unfortunately and particularly with. i would say the lack of u.s. leadership in the region at this point it's really hard to imagine there being sustained diplomatic action on yemen at this point despite the i would say severity of the allegations that we're seeing in this report and the deep severity of the situation in yemen right now. when you look at it it's easy for them to for people to kind of deflect and that goes not just for the states that are involved in this conflict with a risk taking saudi arabia whoever it on. but this is also in terms of internal parties and you've seen i guarantee you that you will have significant reporting on this document by media aligned with all of the key working parties that being said which are going to see is you know when say the who fees and they're allied media are talking about this report they leave out all of the stuff criticizing the hoodies and when you see you know. media aligned with some of the coalition member

states they'll completely report on the allegations against the who it is and the documented uses by the these but will leave out other things so i think that's kind of an in issue at this point is there is this climate really of of impunity in the conflict in yemen and when you have all sides really committing these kind of violations it makes it even harder to really hold anybody to account and unfortunately this just underlines the extent that this conflict continues to be just a horrific tragedy for the yemeni people who while the leaders are largely crying rich off this war continue to suffer the world's worst humanitarian crisis. as many forces a five can cast on palestinians protesting against the detention of a teenage palestinian activist. supporters of i had to mimi have been marching in the occupied west bank demanding i release she was
