a dutch port rotterdam. the dutch love to grow tomatoes the netherlands is the world's biggest exporter of the fruits in the summer the u.k. gets really hard of all its tomatoes from here or at least it has done the assumption is that a no deal bricks it will mean a note some are so britain are you talking on or about empty shelves on the u.k. side for the price in fact. probably but there at the same time is for a. product that is not going to your grandma has no interest in finds or the new or the new markets the british relying just as much on rotterdam europe's biggest ports to service the demands of consumers it is a model of efficiency freedom of movement of goods services money people is the most treasured achievements of the european union in its purest form brics it says no it's all of those things but because the british government still can't decide

what sorts of breaks it wants the dutch it had no choice but to get into worst case scenario planning. no trade deal with the european union would mean fruits vegetables and meat having to be checked this new border to ensure it all meets hygiene standards it means the dutch employing nearly a thousand more customs officers it means queues backlogs turning away from the u.k. in seeking new markets and it isn't only about dutch tomatoes it's about goods produced across the e.u. that british people want to buy. so all the production from germany twenty five percent of the trade is coming from or is going to germany they have to prepare as well and that is word that real challenges are doing repairing as well as rotterdam is for the for the branches because if they are not prepared then it still stops here across western european capitals the same conversations are being had how to get a deal done when the british government is riven by distancing fuse and still we don't

government to open an end appended investigation into the unsolved murder of daphne . turning to our top story in the political fallout from the disappearance of journalist. despite thousands of civilian deaths in yemen some countries have been neutered in their criticism of the saudi led coalition's war there but the case could change all that or set up america. it has the worst humanitarian situation on earth with the u.n. warning that yemen could soon face a full scale final. since it led a military intervention in its southern neighbor three and a half years ago saudi arabia and its allies who breached the basic rules of war civilians have been repeatedly targeted with some attacks on schools and hospitals a un panel recently accused the coalition of war crimes so many people talk about yemen as the forgotten war but here at the u.n.

it's not a forgotten war we have sometimes monthly debates and meetings on the what's going on in yemen it's an ignored war and it's ignored because so many at the security council table are directly or indirectly involved and shielding fired eurabia from any criticism and they all have blood on their hands those countries include the us france and the u.k. friends of saudi arabia with huge investments and trade deals all three supply the saudis with weapons the u.n. secretary general is also been muted in his criticism perhaps because of the country's regional influence and the scow here deputy crown prince mohammed bin salman presents secretary general antonio good terrorists with a check worth almost a billion dollars from saudi arabia and the united arab emirates for humanitarian assistance in yemen some at the time this was blood money but of course no diplomats would say that in public seclude what happened to jamal khashoggi in the

saudi consulate in turkey be a turning point in yemen in the past the saudis have held a number of key cards that have protected them from criticism. economic dominance their regional influence and the fact that they control humanitarian access by sea and land into yemen. but by far its most important card has been its alliance with the us for maybe seventy years and alliances be strengthened since president trump took office with the president's son in law jared cushion of building an extremely close bond with the saudi crown prince that's why the saudis need to be very worried about what happens next in the u.s. congress where the fate of mr cash has led to anger and revulsion if members of congress keep up the pressure other parts of the international community likely to follow suit and saudi arabia's disastrous campaign in yemen is likely to face much tougher scrutiny james bays out zero of the united nations the prime
