7:04 pm
their names are still certainly in the sky there were even expecting more airstrikes i mean what's happening today not what happened yet but the condemned in . saudi arabia and its allies have been fighting in yemen for more than three years against the who theists who are aligned with iran who control much of northern yemen including the capital sana'a four years ago they drove a saudi backed government into exile this latest attack ads more casualties to the list of nearly ten thousand people killed during the war the u.n. called it the world's worst humanitarian crisis bernard smith i'll just. well it's not the first time coalition airstrikes have led to a large number of civilian deaths earlier this month raids in the port city of data left fifty five people died in november last year a strike on a busy market killed twenty nine people in souther province and in twenty fifteen a missile hit a wedding party in the. port of. more than one hundred thirty people were killed

7:06 pm
i think there you hear it there are three things each desk and when i say. what. we're. which is that over and over. we're either that's not an order or the other model killer. then now nearly four years into this company i'm still waiting to see real spreadable investigations into the attack regarding earth with the people who are committing war crimes to help its million victims of these attacks we provide every draft and i'm very much hope in this day once again in our minds and encourages militant leverage over the war or at least that they must use every inch of that leverage to push the parties not only to better the last war but you really abide by the spirit of those laws which are to minimize civilian harm suffering during that's what
7:07 pm
that's what it's come to destroy and called for there are rules all international standard certainly that sovereign nations like saudi arabia are expected to follow especially when it comes to targeting in civilian areas and assuming they decide to whatever protocols or agreements there are through the u.n. you would expect them to abide by those rules if they haven't how could they be reproached for this. yes so unfortunately a drug company and we've seen both of those are you know probably led coalition as well as the ones that they're fighting continually violate laws of war which are binding upon them more and now there's a couple of policemen that you can hold those both the state and the individuals or those iranians one of the ways that states can do it very tender that you can write council to base whether it would send the mandate of an international investigation into the evolutions by the grand parties in yemen and from our perspective rights watch perspective they should absolutely is there another language you can all either saudi arabia or the iraqis or even these two it out is the u.n.
7:08 pm
security council as the existing sanctions mechanism that allows the security council to the answer after three pieces and the littlest one that i believe that the laws are international human rights and really the spirit of council. or when it is. either in the coalition or within the man structure and repeatedly fire in a closet or that it will act that leverage to use that tool and say this is unsettling to. us we are going to find we who are the coalition coalition allies us and others stop. over hillary don't ruin writes i just found a new less origin site of an office of attacks over and over and over again atsic is obsessed well this and the list is living it are getting faster we can continue selling pledged to that a list but as you see over the last two years in particular i think that marriage has grown is that the coalition is going to need to violate laws or and so until
7:09 pm
they stop those patients the weapon sales should also stop well we'll have to leave it alone with christine bakley thank you for joining us from beirut and see what the official reaction is from both sides to this attack on the bus thank you let's cross over to a correspondent. from neighboring djibouti be following events with us. since the story broke and of course the death toll at the moment still stands around thirty nine with maybe as many as thirty to forty of the children still injured and this attack comes just days after a very similar attack really in a crowded marketplace in a dangerous city hundreds of miles away but the scenario is the same attacked civilians in a very crowded location. yes indeed and this is what is a warning well because. paula was off events in yemen. a big. likes of the soda. i get thing civilian
7:10 pm
including hospitals. and water and sanitation facilities and it in this place pulls condoms so this is not any different from. up in the hospital just a few weeks ago at the beginning of it all small to this so. something around the militias that are loyal to the president up the rebel muscle the heart is. to take from the government from both the fighters similar incident. children school children a school bus was packed killing dozen of them so this is not any departure from what we've seen is the war began about years ago we'll leave it there for them at a concert join you a little bit later when we get more news of what's coming out of such a. is
7:11 pm
a journalist from yemen he condemns the international community for not holding the saudi m.r. r.t. led coalition accountable for what they're doing in yemen. so there are threats to hit buses in a crowded market it is out that the bus was. filled with students school the students and the market was very crowded with a lot of people shoppers they. factor the of the victims were very very very high and in the ministry of health confirmed forty. dead and more than fifty seriously injured and what we heard also is that the this kind of massacre was the kind of deliberate.
7:12 pm
head to because that place was very very we'll known as that as a market and. as a school if it's only the first time we could think of why but now i will not think of why because it's very clear to me as a yemeni under the bombing for four years now so saudi arabia wanted only two to hit you to be two to make you better to get to or to to to inflect at as painful as as as possible to yemenis so this is something that the international community and this could change should be answered by the international community that leave such crimes to happen because leaving such crimes to have been means they would be in any place they would they could be in london in any place in london in in washington in any place if if this humanity leaves such such
7:13 pm
crimes to do it to happen hygienist school children and against innocent that holmes. well still ahead here on al-jazeera showing power in south sudan the peace deal that many see as a new beginning in the war torn country to stay with us. hello typhoon shannon chan has bypassed tokyo it's still battering the coast of honshu but it's back to accelerate rapidly away into the open water leaving behind very wet and briefly very windy conditions but this is this forecast place for friday draw on the screen the rain is talkback from it is going to hawkeye to give the sunshine as a replacement throughout hong sure it's still warm in tokyo thirty three degrees which is pretty typical throughout the korean peninsula and back towards beijing where you might see
7:14 pm
a big shower or two so improving situation and similar for the next couple of days and there's another tropical storm already developing that might end up going to to the korean peninsula but otherwise if you go west through china the picture is really effectively quite dry to be a long way south this big circulation what is a bit of a giveaway that's where the action is heavy rain seems like in southern china more recently has been the philippines dowson vietnam i think it will tend to concentrate in southern china and north vietnam in the next day or so and that when circulation rather gave it away but we are seeing showers coming further south a lot of cloud of this thing but throughout borneo sort of ways occasionally a bit further south in job you might see a shower to assume archer is very cloudy. is that you were abducted and forced into sexual slavery by the japanese imperial army
7:15 pm
. for the so-called comfort women of the second world war decades have passed but the trauma lives on. whitney's on is the story of the women who campaigned with unwavering resolve for an official apology for this morning chapter in history. the apology on al-jazeera. welcome back you're watching us as a reminder of our top stories dozens of being killed in a saudi amber strike which has had a school bus in the north of the country it happened in souther province a hoofy stronghold north of the capital the red cross says the bus carrying
7:16 pm
children came under attack as it was driving near a crowded market who to link to media say a majority of the individuals killed were children. are saying he is a yemeni journalist and he joins me now live from santa good to have you with us on the program obviously the death toll has risen everybody's very worried about that rising again with so many children still in hospital what does where this leaves any sort of negotiation between the saudi led coalition and the who thiis there are talks shed jeweled to happen in september is peace a possibility in any shape or form as you see it at the moment. i don't see it. like that because we remember that we go so the house targeted the whole data killing and injuring. more than seventy people and now this strike. i think they are trying just to to to to to make peace collapse they are making the
7:17 pm
work of you in him boy into yemen mr griffin really really. really really weak so i don't think now with the whole city i believe they will extend their fight against saudi arabia and they might lounge all drone. strike because there are now a lot of pressure from yemeni people as i've been seeing on the social media the people are demanding. the movement to respond to this and many people are asking for the whole of the through the door for all any talks because what they said that this blood of of the children should be stopped this all the if you're going to go out and talk with them while they doing this to yemenis. they say we don't think that we're going to reach any peace but we're on the other hand i believe that to stop this war is in the hands of the united states and the you in security council
7:18 pm
because thanks to united states and u.k. the saudis will not be able to conduct a strike on yemen because if the united states was supplying them with intelligent with the coordination the united states will supply in the fighter jet over to yemen and i have heard some reports. that the number of the one who has been killed. fifty seven civilians there are still many children missing because the strike. targeted this most directly on money but these are recognizable many pieces of flesh and bone spread across that market. it so i could go up a very difficult area and also difficult to get independent verification old but in the wider intact of what's going on in the country the war that is now into its what. what sort of impact to do attacks like this on your society when it's not
7:19 pm
just buses or fish markets it's funeral gatherings it's wedding parties that are innocently targeted. yemenis are wondering how this is going to stop what is what will the reaction be to this recent attack. i think the attack like this is actually strengthen the position of the movement because i believe that many people in yemen when they see these videos of those still didn't a lot of killed or injured. they will actually join the whole of the movement from the beginning of the war this war has not impacted the whole thing we've seen that it didn't increase in their myside.
