al-jazeera explores prominent figures of the twentieth century and how and why bill reads influence the course of history the assault said he did not get enough credit for ending up but didn't want to be the big historical figure but he was mandela the biggest icon in the world the prisoner and the president who came together to end up part time in south africa nelson mandela and f.w. de klerk face to face at this time on al-jazeera. damning chronicles of human rights violations a un report says the saudi led coalition may have committed war crimes in yemen.

although i'm maryam namazie in london you're watching al-jazeera also coming up. the. violence breaks out in the occupied west bank between israeli forces and supporters of jailed palestinian teenager tamimi we report from account for the internally displaced in syria as government jets continue to hit opposition targets . also house speed devils of bunning through some of peru's most mysterious heritage sites. and though our top story this hour al-jazeera has been given access to an unpublished u.n. report that quantock holds the extent of human rights violations and documents possible war crimes in yemen the findings presented this to the security council a shop be critical of saudi led coalition as strikes which of course the majority of civilian deaths in the war the report also bolsters accusations by the us that

iranian weapons of been supplied to who think 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 the report paints a devastating picture of a conflict which has left more than ten thousand people dead and led to widespread famine and displacement of diplomatic editor james bass who saw the report as mill . 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 of 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 has a visiting fellow at the european council on foreign relations in tel the sets unlikely the u.n. 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 the 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 aligned 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 accounts 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. israeli forces a five tear gas on palestinians protesting against the detention of a teenage palestinian activist. supporters of i to mimi have been marching in the occupied west bank demanding have released she was
