therefore i'm determined to build on it and our consultations but let us not allow as i've been reminded today let us not allow our progress or the absence of it on who data to. us which is on the search for a political solution to this conflict i'm concerned that our data could be a flashpoint i take seriously any offer of deescalation regardless of its magnitude including the unilateral offer for months rather to stop all attacks on shifting. many of us would not have wanted those attacks to have happened at all my concern is to avoid any action with dire humanitarian consequences and nor those more particularly in my office which may undermine the resumption of the political process and september and so i call on the parties and perhaps with the support of this council to create a can do civil environment then i use these words carefully and conducive environment to allow this to happen on other matters i am greatly encouraged by the

common desire of the parties to have the many many thousands of prisoners of war released marcus have been hard at work on this and that this was an issue the president hadi on each occasion i have met him has particularly urged us to take the lead on and i and i think this is a tribute to his humanity and i know we all want to see this moving forward as fast as we can. let me conclude by the president by summing up my requests to you and your members firstly support for my effort to begin consultations in september in geneva. secondly support for deescalation in the data and to keep the red sea out of the conflict. thirdly support for those measures i have mentioned one the release of prisoners there are many others that

bring hope back to the people of yemen it is the people of yemen who will ensure that we have a good chance to make those political negotiations work without their involvement interest advocacy and support we will not make it they need encouragement to believe that this can happen forcefully please join me as i know you will in recognizing extraordinary courage of international humanitarian organizations i've had the privilege in my frequent visits to you have been witnessing firsthand their courage their diligence their reliability and impartiality it's an exceptional privilege to all of us to live through you madam i'd like to thank this council the extraordinary level of support that you have provided to my efforts it makes an enormous difference to have a united and eloquent council asserting the principles of united nations

your continued unity is by any standards the key to the resolution is conflict thank you very much. i think the special envoy very much for that briefing and i now give the floor to mr john king. madam president thank you. it's more than three years into this conflict that the civilians and have been carrying and facing the deplorable consequences after conflict you've heard the statistics many many times more than twenty two million people seventy five percent of the population in fact require humanitarian assistance and protection. three years of conflict have left two million people displaced from their homes eight point four million people do not know where their next meal is coming from and the worst cholera outbreak in the world the card in yemen last year with one point one million cases the humanitarian situation is indeed shocking both

in scale and severity and these figures they represent a call for urgent action in my briefing today i will focus on the humanitarian situation who data the expansion of humanitarian operations across the country obstacles that the humanitarians are facing and the impact of conflict on civilians and in president conflict in her day to govern it has escalated significantly earlier today we received reports that attacks occurred around the entrance to one of the few functioning public hospitals in her data and adjacent fish market causing civilian casualties this is the first of june violence has forced more than three hundred forty thousand people from their homes across the governess most are sheltering with host communities near their areas of origin while smaller numbers have arrived in sanaa aden and surrounding areas sustained hostilities in today to city interruptions to the port operations or

a siege of the city would be catastrophic and must be avoided there is no contingency plan that can effectively protect the humanitarian consequences if conflict in her data escalates as the capacity of international organizations and their response would quickly be overwhelmed madam president in addition it's important to recall that her data was the epicenter of last year's devastating cholera outbreak and cholera infections izing. it's essential therefore to bear this in mind when considering incidents like the one that is reported today which affect public hospitals where humanitarian partners are treating cholera patients last week airstrikes hit water facilities in her day to city and sanitation facilities south of the city water and sanitation lines have also been damaged in her data as forces in the city dig trenches as we all know damage to

health water and sanitation infrastructure significantly increases the risks of the spread of cholera who data and nearby sirleaf are the lifeline for the majority of imports of the essential commodities of food and fuel needed by millions of yemenis every day to survive but i'm president i am pleased to update you that these ports remain open and operational in fact commercial food imports in may rose to their highest levels since november two thousand and sixteen and fully met requirements however food and fuel imports fell in june and again in july while keeping all ports open is critical we are equally concerned about maintaining adequate quantities of affordable imports through these ports to do so the conditions must be created whereby shipping companies have enough commercial confidence to continue supplying them as conflict has escalated in her data humanitarians have stayed and

delivered and we thank the special envoy for his recognition about ninety percent of people displaced by the recent violence have in fact received emergency relief packages these packages containing food hygiene supplies and other. supplies to preserve dignity. within this also humanitarians are providing additional assistance to the most vulnerable including food rations cash basic household items and shelter supplies programs also continuing today to to provide medicines equipment and staff to health facilities to maintain water and sanitation infrastructure and to truck water to displaced people who cannot access piped networks madam president in addition to efforts in her day to regular humanitarian programs have expanded significantly across the country they are working in difficult and dangerous conditions in june international humanitarian efforts

provided emergency food assistance to seven and a half million people that's an increase of two hundred thousand since january it also provided water sanitation and hygiene services that benefited six point three million people a sixty percent increase since january similar increases have taken place across other sectors as of mid-year about sixty percent of the people that we are targeting with assistance have been reached and humanitarian partners continue to work tirelessly to expand their programs further partnerships have played a very important role in this expansion this year one hundred sixty nine frontline partners u.n. agencies international n.g.o.s and are working together to reach millions of people every month assistance is coordinated through. so we've been listening in to the united nations listening first of all to mr martin griffiths u.n.

special envoy for yemen who's reporting to the u.n. about progress of what he thinks should happen next as brain rolls jordan our u.n. correspondent has also been listening in laws so it was a pretty thorough briefing but the main conclusion seems to be that he wants to begin these can consultations in september in geneva to kick start the political process that he sees as being the end goal here. that's right tom martin griffith this going to basically bring together the representatives of the yemeni government of president hadi as well as representatives from the who thing rebels who have been engaged in this battle for control of the country so that they can try to see where they can actually make some sort of political resolution this is a situation where they're basically trying not to just manage one particular hotspot in this case the threat of

a siege against but trying to actually stabilize the country and try to restore some sense of normality for the millions of yemenis who have been living under a very brutal civil war for the past several years does this mean it's going to be one time and they're going to find an actual political solution probably not but there is a real sense that this is the moment to try to get both sides back into some sort of conversation about ending their political gripes and more important preserving the lives of the yemeni populous while still in their live from the united nations and just to remind our of the conclusion from that briefing from mohsin griffith he's invited both sides in the yemeni conflict to geneva on september the six for a first round of consultation and he's hoping that those talks will provide the opportunity for the parties to discuss some sort of framework and confidence

building measures as well as about ways electoral commission says it will announce presidential results in the coming hours after official observers urged it to move faster to avoid further violence case of sealed off the opposition party headquarters and cleared the streets in the capital harare six people died after soldiers opened fire on opposition m.d.c. supporters on wednesday heron metastasize border from harare. in his first public appearance since monday's general election zimbabwe's main opposition leader nelson chamisa is apparently at a hospital speaking to families of those killed and injured during wednesday's protests he says he's confident he's beaten president innocent. overly with a popular vote i heard of it's common cause but what they've been trying to do of late is to try and play around with the v. living from sending them back that's why they have not released the result was they are going back to the cause you understand please we did not count well we did not

to make a good summation which is a problem because that's no rigging that's no money people issue officials in the rulings on a pair party have asked opposition supporters to remain calm we appeal to our colleagues in the opposition. to ensure that their supporters maintain the comeliness which existed when people went to what. it is our hope is. that. we accept that we belong different political parties but no life should be lost as a result of political differences. in the streets of harare our car but it still feels tense some shops and businesses are closed the police are taking away opposition supporters who had been staying at the party supporters they say they want to question each person to see if they have committed any crimes in politics perhaps if i was a policeman also this is maybe harassment was absolutely there was nothing. if it

unconfirmed reports of small. demonstrations yesterday and the day before in the capital but what is interesting is that about an hour outside of the capital encouraged there were a few dozen people to try to set fire to a mosque there were demonstrations there but the police who ordered that attempt to burn down a mosque what we're seeing is the number of protesters are swelling people who came out protesting economic conditions those slogans are now turning into more political chants and to government protesters are also coming out not just people protesting the economy and what we're also seeing now is a government effort to try and quell that as soon as possible there is a very large police presence out on the street not just in the capital to han but in several places around the country and that's likely response to the call by several anti government media organizations based outside the country that have called for another round of protests to take place later today israel has built fuel and gas supplies from entering the gaza strip defense minister avigdor

eleven years ago on the shanghai exchanges script in some of the reports. there was some concern that apple a company known for its hardware had little room to grow given saturation of the cell phone market but its latest earnings report put that worry to rouse apple posted earnings of fifty three point three billion dollars in the third quarter an increase of seventeen percent over the same time last year and that is driven by strong demand for its most expensive phone the i phone x. but it's not just hardware behind the company's success the tech giant is also seeing growth in its services business which includes the app store apple music and apple pay sixty percent of the company's sales are international in every region except japan reported double digit growth this is the fourth quarter in a row of double digit growth for apple pushing it into trillion dollar territory at a time when other tech stocks like facebook and twitter have struggled up what

a good quarter so they sold good again fifty million phones and if the phone sales were a little soft why unit number the average price rose because the x. is a very high average selling price so apple continues to be the most profitable company in the world now apple may be the first trillion dollar company in the united states but others are hoping to follow suit including amazon and google zoner alphabet well you can find it much more on our website about the stories we're following head to al-jazeera don't comb. let's give you a quick reminder now all of the main stories we're following here on al-jazeera the united nations envoy for yemen says he plans to invite the warring sides in the conflict there the talks in geneva on september the six wanted gryphus told the u.n. security council that a quote political solution to end the war is available to. as he addressed the

attack we want you to join the conversation on twitter and you too. should a gun violence in the united states be treated as a public health issue for some people it seems like there should be and you say yes to that question but in the united states public funding for research into gun deaths and injuries has been severely curtailed so yes for more on this we're joined from northampton massachusetts by meghan ranee she is chief research officer at the american foundation for firearm injury reduction in medicine known as a firm that's one of the groups that wants more research into gun violence adam skaggs is chief counsel at the giffords lost in churches prevent gun violence he joins us from new york craig deluce is director of legislative and public affairs at the firearms and policy coalition which advocates for gun rights in the u.s.

he joins us from sacramento california and here in the studio is lawrence mcdaniel he is executive director of the national organization for. and he's also co-founder of the upcoming national march on the n.r.a. the national rifle association and that rally goes ahead on saturday welcome all of you to the stream and i want to start with a member of our community who heard we were doing this topic and tweeted in this this is dan a who says if something is dealt with as a public health issue that's not to say that it is just one more service that health professionals provide it is an approach to dealing with health issues google public health approach and you'll see issues like seat belt use bike helmets tobacco use megan that all sounds rational and reasonable why then is gun control and gun use not on that list that's a great question so the biggest reason gun violence and gun injury is not lift

is because as you said earlier there just hasn't been funding to address it as a public health issue at its core gun injury is no different from any other type of injury like car crashes or poor drowning or poisonings right and we've dealt with all of those public health issues over the last four or five decades we've developed a whole thing behind preventing injury and we haven't done it for guns simply because there has not been funding to do the research and epidemiology and the intervention trials that we've done that have successfully decreased car crashes over fifty percent that have decreased poisonings by carbon monoxide and so on and in the something called the decay amendment which if i don't bring it up someone else will bring out for our international audience just explain what that means sure the chickie amendment is. a law that was passed that basically prevents federal agencies like the centers for disease control from conducting gun research

. these were passed in the one nine hundred ninety s. after. the c.d.c. began researching a number of different gun issues and looking at the causes and possible ways to prevent. gun injury in the united states and this was passed in one thousand nine hundred six senate essentially said that funding that was appropriated to the centers for disease control's couldn't be used to advocate for or against gun controls the practical effect and it was federal research stopped and we haven't seen any federal dollars of any research will now going to dedicated to studying this problem since the midnight psych so that the challenge there is he's already contradicting himself he said that it didn't allow for research when specifically he just restated the words of the amendment which mean it didn't eliminate the ability to do research what it said was you cannot advocate for gun control meaning

you cannot advocate for implementing policy restricting the constitutional right to keep and bear arms then the problem is that the folks at the c.d.c. if they can't advocate for gun control than they do then for some reason they've chosen that's ok i got mine and i think any of their thought after that and then with path congress actually took away from thirty three the amount of money that they were spending on fire injury firearm injury research and actually any adult any young channel any any congress is any congress can decide to put those resources to put resources towards that and that doesn't even include the discretionary resources that they have amongst the hundreds of millions of dollars they have to do research so never i'm going to agree with and i think on the point that the congress could any congress could appropriate those dollars and allow the c.d.c. to begin doing this lifesaving research again here but unfortunately we haven't seen that. so there as a. federal dollars and i can give you the reason why you haven't seen it done it's because congress is terrified of the n.r.a. the reason why is because the n.r.a.

and gun manufacturers they have the ability to move voters so they are terrified of the n.r.a. and if the congress is to push for c.d.c. research for gun control. well i'm going to go and lawrence i'm going to just one thing in so research it's not a partisan issue right so we have successfully decreased deaths from car crashes without taking cars off the road we actually have no one desires on the road now than we had in the one nine hundred fifty s. and so good either way and find us ways don't let people who. don't want this right use with idea that we should be doing research the problem is that when you go into research with the idea that guns are bad and we need to ban guns within your research is obviously going to be when was the last one and we've searched every with all our research what we would all like to see is research that is. does not answer advocate but is actually unbiased research and unfortunately for the groups that do do it it's anything but. let me i'm excited just want to get to

community and i want to get this perspective you know taking into account what you all are saying here this is mike ph d. and he writes in in terms of funding for health and gun violence i think it's a couple of things politics has reduced available funding fear of being seen as political and awareness that there are fewer funds has prevented scientists from submitting relevant grant proposals but then he takes this and this next week to a more personal level an issue we've covered here in the stream but i think it's important to remind people he says that lack of awareness. suicide accounts for sixty percent of gun deaths and believes is incorrect ideas has lead people away from prioritizing projects looking at suicide and firearms and gives a stat that around half of all u.s. suicides result from firearms that's from the c.d.c. lawrence i want to go to you with that because that's bringing it down to a personal level and i know that you can relate to that yes. i

went to a poor community i lived in a poor community i went to a poor school where our questions were and with like thirty plus kids i have seen students hide guns in their book bags. i have seen students high guns in their shorts and we have metal detectors and usually our school system they they talk to us about this they say hey we're going to have you know gun violence in your area when someone dies because we know not to expect a child to one of our friends to come to school there is literally no research for the african-american community where mental health is being run rampant literally i walked in on my mother trying to kill herself i lost it on a lost him. so you know i don't want to see that happen to anyone in research will take that a long way it is sad that we are now seeing more gun violence and we are seeing car accident i lost three sisters in a car accident and bamber actually already actually most recently they discovered

there are actually more people dying be a car accidents by gun violence but i agree let us research suicide and suicide prevention and there are groups like both the n.r.a. and the national shooting sports foundation that are working with suicide prevention organizations in order to help address the issue and i don't disagree but when we talk about gun violence we're forgetting that it is a violence issue when you were talking about when you're talking about gun suicides you're talking about a suicide issue we're focusing on what you want to focus on the tool and we're saying focus on the problem i hear you're saying that i think that that community member who tweeted and said it's. the fact that these things are readily available that makes that but i want to i don't i want to push on you just a little bit to a story that has been generating plenty of headlines over the last few days you all know it's three d. printed guns now u.s. federal judge on tuesday blocked a texas organization from publishing the schematics for such weapons that was just

hours before they were about to go blind i'll just as rob reynolds has more. in three d. printer technology machines extrude minuscule layers of clastic or resin that gradually build up three dimensional objects using your eyes patterns we ask professional three d. printer peterman adi to make one for us consumer printers are available for as low as three hundred dollars so anybody that has three hundred dollars can essentially print one three d. printer guns have no serial numbers so they're untraceable they don't require permits or background checks so anybody can have one and because they're plastic they can go through any metal detector. so you hear the the issue laid out there i want to play a comment that we got from the c.e.o. of a three d. printing company when we heard he but we were doing this story this is what he told of his era opensource gun designs have been around for as long as i can remember

before the internet you can get them by mail order by am at a gun show. and the tools to make guns have been around since well since the luddites failed to stop mechanisation. let's say we were successful at banning or stopping people from uploading and publishing gun designs on the internet that really wouldn't do anything there are many ways to acquire and capture the data today there's most cost laser scanners and three d. digitizers that you can put any object under and it will capture that three d. data in a matter of minutes so really this whole conversation is pointless. it's pointless adam moved back and thought what do you think well look you know it we're dealing with a situation as package that you just played demonstrated where putting making downloadable guns available to anybody anywhere means that somebody who can't go to a gun store and buy a gun because they'll fail

a background check maybe their domestic use or they have a long criminal rap sheet whatever the reason somebody who is unable to pass a background check and buy a gun can just download one off the internet with a click of a mouse or as they have the three d. printer that's problem one as we heard these are untraceable so law enforcement can't trace them in any way that makes an illegal gun traffickers dream come true and because they're plastic they can be smuggled through traditional metal detector technology so you know this is a serious threat it's a problem that warrants a very strict sponsor and to just shrug your shoulders and suggest you know that's a to see here this doesn't matter at all i think really fastly understates the real risk presented here and craig i want to show you something from your twitter threat because new you tweeted out the president of united states he says i'm looking to free the past that guns bring sell to the public already sleights the n.r.a. doesn't seem to make much sense you then get a sub tweet it's called free speech and the second amendment at real donald trump

they make a perfect sense compact that more. ok understand what we're talking about here is not giving people is not giving people three d. printed guns it's providing information or resources to understand exactly what they are for example it is a by the way it is illegal to print or manufacture and detectable firearm so it's already against the law just like it's against the law to manufacture to create multiple cocktails but yet i can go get a copy of the anarchist's cookbook which includes information on how to create a how to create a molotov cocktail understand what we're talking about is free speech we're talking about the ability to communicate make and simply because we don't like the information simply because i don't like the arab nation have we think we can infringe on it that we have just yet like to push back on those restrictions except

i would say we have prescriptions based on kind of the idea of public health and a lot of things that can potentially create problems for the wrong people so you know you can't buy things right before you're certainly. and so why make it where we can i'm sure you know how creepy looking about fundamental right smoking is not a fundamental right. free speech the right to keep and bear arms are both fundamental constitutional enumerated rights is always the problem when they were putting so much emphasis on the second amendment right but we do not put that much emphasis on our fifth fifteenth amendment right the right to vote we have so many a lobbyist arguing and fighting for the second amendment right but we literally have no one out there fighting for the fifteenth amendment right and still can't deal guns aren't what i thought it looked just like a toy a reason why he like f.p.c. the reason we're going to look the foreign policy coalition the n.r.a. work it's not because of lobbyists and corporations it's because of the millions of individual voters who inform themselves and show up to the polls so young man i would have to disagree with you there well i'm going to disagree with you craig

when it comes to the idea that this is a first amendment issue that is just like a book that gives you the instructions of how to make them out of cocktail if you've got the book the anarchist cookbook a human being can read the printed page that written speech gives communicate a message to the person who can then choose to go out and build them out of cocktail or not what you're talking about with these downloadable guns it's not a bunch of ones and zeros that are communicating to a person who can decide to do with that message what they will or not this is a computer code that speaks not to the people but speaks to a printer and when you click the buy what comes out of that is a play on spec to tell you that you are selling straight and i think you need another lack of understanding about of exactly what this is so. i mean that i guess you just are not allowed to know what a great weekend it is i want to run their voice and the adults are just certain people now who is in our community so when gen y. kinda gal you just say ok it's a little bit so this is

a socialist rifle association and they say as it had been three d. printed guns will not fire without necessary metallic parts such as the firing pen and ammunition they cannot pass through a metal detector undetected for this reason and they go on to say work to build a society where people don't feel the need to own guns start. addressing poverty racism police violence this way is harder but more beneficial i mean right so i guess we cannot have a gun control conversation without paying attention to the new wave of young activists who are influencing this debate so over the last couple of weeks the march for allies say you flat organization has been on its road to change tour for u.s. cities now it's part of their effort to change gun laws in a wake of the deadly hartland shooting have a look. could

use small any why don't. you know that's something i would hesitate to say maybe about a year ago if we were going to have somebody of your age on a show like this you would be here as a victim telling your story not involved in what happens next i think in the last year this is changed yes it has changed dramatically especially at the park when the shootings. the youth are getting pissed off basically they're mad they're frustrated they're upset that no one is listening to us we are we are literally screaming for help we are dying we are screaming for help and no one wants to help us because guns are such

a polarizing issue in america for some reason when it should be our right to vote because we get affected by it and the african-american community just like we get affected by balance in african-american communities our voices need to be heard so that's what we're doing we're standing wave of youth all across the world not just in the united states of america are standing up and it's been happening in europe and france well before parklane even happened and now today the united states you are standing up and the n.r.a. wants to push back against us by issuing threats like come on threat six thirty or so at the park when shooting multiple times the n.r.a. released videos especially. caution we think of her name and her a spokeswoman video deanna louche had a name right she basically told the parkland students there was a direct threat like your time as a gun activist to have been working for the past sixty fifty years the n.r.a. has just been pushing back against him for what reason like if we can sit at the table this is all what the youth want we want to sit at the table talk with the

n.r.a. come up with a plan that works on both sides that push for to protect people second amendment right but also push for safer communities schools and centers for students and young people because young people are out there dying i don't have i don't feel like i should have to worry about my brothers or sisters going to the store and not coming back or my mother walking to work and not coming back but gun activists out there like these are our guns and i just want to make the point clear you are not out here to take your guns were are here fighting for simple background checks. to repeal the dickie amendment two guys who are out here fighting for a lot of stuff yes but our and think our whole thing is what we want to do is we want to make a change we want our voices heard we want to tell people that just because of our age and you are killing us we are a part of this problem too so that's what i cannot say as a physician. who has spoken out on behalf of the victims the hundreds of victims

that i've taken care of for my fifteen year career as an emergency physician at taking care of the suicides the homicides the assault and many of us have been trying for a decade plus to get folks to listen to the fact that exactly what you said this is not about gun control versus gun rights this is about public health and safety and i just want to thank you for bringing your voice. but public policy is all is always been about trying to take away trying to take away the big scary guns you want to talk about the real challenge with gun violence in this country eighty to ninety percent of it eighty ninety percent is either drug or gang related you can actually play a role that well that's true at all and i'm totally if you take if you take out suicides eighty to ninety percent of it is drug related but you can't take a look at it was trying to make a point about the about the violence in literally a gun you can talk. about is a so was there but then what you were talking about is the suicide problem and

let's just take for example the country dition of japan which is number two of industrial nations number six overall if you wish and they don't even have as we lead the nations in the guns and guns and we don't use the nation in guns i mean we are failing in education what kind i sense does that make it is something you know but if i'm talking about style and it's going to side in flail. and go on to live i don't know if you can and would have some i want to know that we're talking. i hear both your points i don't know that our audience does so i'm going to jump in there and use that as my chance to bring in this. you're comment this is from john on twitter he says march for our lives he's talking about. movement i will let you finish i will pose this next thing to you but i want to push on just a little bit because i want to get our viewers comments and john says the march for our lives has done a spectacular job of taking tragedy to manifest action towards opening up a conversation that's long overdue and i'm often inspired by the dedication of these young activists so when we talk about taking tragedy this hasn't just been

about guns per se we got a video comment from a parkland student who talks about how he's taken that tragedy and channeled it into making an impact on the ground this is and this is what he said. we've had to address the larger issue at hand we need to address mental health because our students are under a lot of stress and they don't know how to supplement their stress and all those negative emotions in the positive outcomes we need to teach students how to be their best selves and how to take negative emotions and reach positive outcomes and that's something that we haven't really been focusing on as a society and so he is the founder of the societal reform porpora ation and he's all about mental health and making sure that young people have access to the house that they need a promise i'd let you finish but keep that in mind what do you make of that well here's the thing and i agree with the points that he's made when we talk about the issue that the gun is just the tool he's talking about why or why are people

committing suicide why are young people engaged why is that why are young people going to schools from him and their shootings occurring in schools why is there gun violence in urban inner city communities let's look at the reasons why not necessarily focus on the tools but the other thing we need to do if we're going to have a conversation is we have everyone has to be able to be able to sit at the table what winds up happening is and you look at what happened in the c.n.n. debate or the c.n.n. discussion and all of these is the great you know you generally have one person not quite right. just people start talking over them and start shouting them down like as i took as the one time it does explain what that c.n.n. debate was it was a huge big hole which could people's attention it was just off the pot and shooting and it blew up in a big way and it was it was a huge big moment for the united states and the brawl consing and having that conversation let me just wrap up now we could actually do this show every single day and still not be done with the debate type for me just for

a moment actually for the show i'm going to be honest here for the show. there's a much coming up in a sentence tell us about the much alright so saturday saturday august for parking students will be joining forces with the founders of the march on entering who have been working so hard where we are taking over the streets of fairfax directly from the n.r.a. to our knowledge we looked at the research that had never been done before so. see ya on saturday and their system at g.'s around as well yeah if you're interested you can look at w.w.w. on n.r.a. dot org and in the interests of being fair balance firearms policy coalition go to that page that have a take action page and their time to take action is as passionate as you will take action. that is that great in the united states right now. i will end with this week from a c.e.o. who says disarm today let the moms dads siblings and families who tragically lost

united nations envoy for yemen says he plans to invite the warring sides in the conflict there for talks in geneva on september the sixth that martin griffiths told the u.n. security council that a quote political solution to end the war is available an end to this war cannot come too soon for the people of yemen as a humanitarian colleagues a quick to remind us of our own children will do so if we don't succeed together. she'd do put an end to it there will be a million millions more yemenis depending on the assistance of our humanitarian agencies and i'm very conscious there's a need we all all that each day cause lives which might have been saved well as he addressed the cancel the death tolls on the saudi led air strikes in the

city of the data continued to rise twenty six people are now confirmed dead and thirty five injured after a fishing port fish market were hit near the city's main hospital the rebel who see one television channel says the strikes killed fifty five people mohamad addo is following developments from djibouti. rescue workers told journalists how they saw bloody pots to all over the fish market the pools the targets of al strikes the free market printing beaches away from hold a hospital which is one of one hundred of medical facilities not a professional in a day that now residents of what they the us say that these strikes one like the unexpected because both who's you fight us on this issue to you and you coalition of amounts but they were going to seize hostilities around the portal but they were to give you and peace efforts a chance the international red cross which supports

basically argued that effort isn't working there still is no deal to essentially make her data off limits from both the government and the who these so that humanitarian aid can be brought in to millions of yemeni citizens who desperately need food medicine and emergency shelter he said the only way really to stop this kind of carnage suttas such as what we saw in her data midday on thursday is to try to start the effort to bring about a comprehensive political settlement and so that is why he is having both representatives of the central government in sanaa as well as representatives of the who these meet with him in geneva starting on september sixth whether or not this effort is going to lead to more rounds of discussions is yet to be seen certainly that is mr griffiths hope what we're hearing right now from members of

the u.n. security council is what seems to be a united effort to try to end the three year old civil war in yemen once and for all but given that this is not just a who're between two opposing sides but given that they are some each supported by powerful regional countries iran is supporting the who these the saudi government is supporting the central government in sanaa it's going to be complicated but there is a recognition that because of the dire humanitarian situation in that country that a political solution to the civil war needs to be found as quickly as possible. rose it was also interesting to hear him say words that he thinks a solution is available an interesting turn of phrase there to use the word available and that they've actually done a huge amount of research talking to all sorts of different parties you know to

come up with the right solution well one of the things they grew.
