u.s. refueling was no longer needed for a potentially divisive vote in the u.s. congress next week bipartisan members of congress have threatened to take action to end american assistance because of outrage over saudi involvement in the killing of journalist. a saudi amerada coalition now says it has the ability to conduct in-flight refueling by itself there's increasing international pressure for. fire to end for a war that humanitarian crisis at a halt and u.s. refueling is likely to have little impact on the ground there's been a further escalation in fighting in recent days as the coalition tries to recapture they keep port city of who data from who think rebels in the hayward reports. on the edge of her day the battle for territory is intensifying it is a relentless spite with both sides claiming they are making gains data is the prize at the center of this nearly seventy percent of yemen is commercial imports pass

from nearby djibouti. there will be no more refueling all sodhi craft in the air by the united states this is not the main part of the support that the sold in that whole nation gets from the united states but it has been the most divisive because of the massive civilian casualties witnessed in yemen by the sooty in the whole nation now they are other aspects of the support that the united states is giving this led coalition including the sale of arms as well as. the sharing of intelligence including the positions in various parts of the country which they have been targeting. to continue meanwhile in the city where they the fighting is still going on outside the city most of the residents of the city say they are confined to their homes because of. stray bullets and also

aerial bombardments that i've killed dozens of people in the past few days. you equalisation have launched a free. all the city they want to take it from the fighters because they believe it has been the main. armament point of whole who theophile it is but the united nations of the assertions operating in yemen are warning of a catastrophic humanitarian crisis if the fighting acts affects the operation of the port of or the that which is the entry point for more than aid to pasta and of yemen imports. shanahan is a research fellow at the institute for international policy he says the u.s. and its harm election results may be playing into this latest decision on yemen i think you're probably seeing. relations main. in washington and that kind of language since emanating from washington it seems. there's

a greater. sense amongst the trump administration officials that we should be looking or pressing more forcefully for a negotiated solution to end this kind of stuff made in yemen it's never been very popular in the us in terms of american support for the saudi that coalition there painting creasing really strong and reports that the humanitarian situation in yemen so i think in riyadh it's that would start. to be looking at what kind of policy formulation is going on in washington but certainly there's been a change in tone we have really saying these from. secretary compiler and security matters. not necessarily zero eight coherent message that we're talking about potential cease fires to talking about say far as proceeding negotiated political talks saying and the very recent announcement about

stopping. refueling for saudi. the zero. way points on a potential change in u.s. policy better it is not sitting in concrete from what we know publicly at least for a long time now where the president has dissolved parliament and the clare to snap election for january fifth can suggest hours after his party admitted it did not have enough parliamentary support for its prime minister will nominate mahendra roger pasta it's just the latest developments in a global crisis trigger last month by the president sacco and the sitting prime minister well fernandes has more from colombo. also the prime minister on the vicar missing her and party leaders of his coalition say that they will appeal the president's decision to dissolve parliament and essentially put this to the supreme court asking them to recognize the fact that his decision was in violation of the

country's constitution now the constitution amended in the nineteenth amendment says that the parliament cannot be dissolved until it completes four and a half years of this decision for over a year short of that deadline but the president is defending his decision in fact newly appointed government ministers in a press conference a short while ago have said that the president's decision is in keeping with the constitution now there are mixed reactions among sri lanka's general public there are those who feel that presidents are saying it took the right decision given the current kind of constitutional crisis that was brewing there are others who say this is a death knell for democracy obviously a lot of ground to be covered in the coming hours in the coming days before we see oh how and in what form this a fictional and his future leaders from seventy countries are gathering on the

french capital paris to mark the end of the first world war as president to arrive he has met with french president manuel marquez all on landing sparked controversy by criticizing the level of the european funding for nato to the two leaders had to say at the palace a short time ago. we're getting along the border of service and we want you to be sure we want to help you. with the blue shirt with the words we will be receiving if you. can only do so much. to the. i don't have the european security to be being assured just boys the united states and really big big the federal reserve why i do believe that we need more you're going to get the city's more european defense. our diplomatic at her james in paris so donald

trump also tweeted some of his feelings as well they seem to be trying to smooth things over publicly what fallout has there been james. well i think it's been a morning of damage limitation here or there leaves a palace after that tweet from president trump where he said it was very insulting that president had been talking about a european army and saying instead they should be paying more to nato of course the concept of a european army is one that has been discussed for decades in the e.u. already works together militarily and actually fields military missions for example recently in the central african republic or mali the have been serving and the french position is that the e.u. working together is a good thing because that can bend be a component of nato forces and i think that now perhaps has been persuaded has been

explained to president trump because they seem to be on the same page in those comments that were made a short time ago just to let you know we're just showing you a few pictures now of what's happening behind me because this is the first lady malani a trouble arriving here at the elise a palace and i think you'll see pictures of the of the president of france and his wife and the president of united states and his wife having lunch a short time from now which i think is showing the good relations between these two countries after what was certainly a heck up with that tweet just as air force one arrived so has a knock on is going to be having a formal donald trump be attending that no donald trump is not attend.
