violence against women it's just two days after a spanish court failed to convict two men of rape as catherine stansell reports. the streets of the spanish capital filled with thousands of women making themselves heard there calling for gender equality justice for victims of sexual assault and for an end to violence and abuse. it was one of several demonstrations held in other european countries the need for a cultural shift and to encourage more women to speak out against abuse is what drove many here to attend but most of my friends they are in those seeking the relationships that their boyfriends control them so much and they can not go with their friends and go outside or go to a party without a man and women have to work together to make these for the save button and go for target for everything the march was particularly poignant for women here after

a controversial decision by spanish judges on friday two men were cleared of rape the judges ruled their attack wasn't rape because even though the victim pleaded for her attackers to stop she didn't physically fight back they were sentenced to four and a half years in prison rapists usually get up to fifteen years the talk is that very night the three. no three one of them say if. the woman can send the other two they said that the the one the not concerned by the with the other at the gresham's. why because it was not threaten the woman was not a threat then the one who was not the numbers she did not receive violence in the so at the end the doctors decided that there was an abuse you know the rape. sunday was international day for the elimination of violence against women u.n. secretary general antonio terrace said every woman and every girl has the right to

problem is not that we just like the year but the problem is that we judge just who are interpreting these lawyer ways that hurts our theory. the girl beats a girl beats a star big girl who was crying while this was happening and so the judge just climbed out of the fact that two men raped her these spies are saying already clearly did not constitute rape so the problem is not only the law is special very very by us judges who are just protecting other rapists the situation is not going to improve as long as judges who are not convicting rapists in the way that they should be convicting them are just not held responsible and just can walk freely with no problem whatsoever then a hospital in a camp for thousands of molly and suv sort refuge in mauritania is set to close in

kashmir after the killing of seven separatist fine has and an indian soldier they gun battle was followed by protests and reports of the canteen internet services india and pakistan have been in dispute over the himalayan region since one thousand nine hundred seven death to america has been chanted in iran by generations of protestors angry at what they see as american imperialism and meddling donald trump has highlighted the rallying call as a creator example of iran's intentions as he accuses them of being state sponsors of terror some iranians though are now saying americans shouldn't be taking the chant literally same reports from tech i it's a phrase that has come to define decades of hostility between two countries. death to america is a rallying call for iranian leaders to bring demonstrators to the streets it's a polarizing statement but many defend it as a minimum response for decades of harmful american policies in the middle east with their hands tied politically and economically for years some say the least they can

do is raise their voice i think he has found policy would be the same there that segment to be done in public's chance that america or not i think if. there was a decree by the iranian government that no one is allowed to say that i don't think you see any change in u.s. foreign policy but the slogans critics say in an era of trouble it's a problem of messaging giving his administration political ammunition to use against iran. in some corners of american political society iran supporters say trump is the problem during a visit to tehran nation of islam leader louis farrakhan said trump's policies in the middle east could trigger a global conflict. to bring about yet. but it is your policies that eroding trust for you in the world you will bring about. not hearing any of you bring up

yet great nation it's been on this earth in the. years when pressed by a local reporter to say the phrase seemingly a political stunt the seasoned civil rights activist responded i know he. will iran and. the. day have a right. but i'm not sure i will let. farrakhan has been an unrelenting critic of successive american governments but even for a controversial figure like him uttering a phrase so incendiary in the united states was going too far. for decades the language of protest in iran has been dominated by the three words death to america but opinions have been split and in the wake of more sanctions

iranians are again asking if that slogan accurately defines public opinion here for many iranians it's time to abandon the politics of the past. the slogan death to america is wrong we shouldn't want any country when we want someone. for us. our officials say death to america but some of their children now live and study their. slogan is not a good thing because it explicitly calls the other side hostility thank you it's not i never said it i never will not all people in iran say it's not anti-american demonstrations are often fueled by anger even hate speech and despite bearing viewpoints it's difficult to deny us actions have done more damage than any iranian namecalling ever. funny to nigeria where the ports. they delayed or affected by well corruption and bureaucracy but reforms

are on the way and stopping multibillion dollar losses and injuries reports from like. two service boats making their way with ease into and out of a nigerian port. a few years ago this process was murdered in red tape and corruption that may be changing but huge challenges remain there active sought to have a single interface for the clarins and inspection of cargo so that has topped that so yes even the in business hats wasn't it a bomb not because the quantum leap that we want would want to have cameras whereby you can just come a car when they just move and you you knew you knew would now have a significant. improvement i'm glad of the. improvements in ports infrastructure and new technology has eased operations vessels are loaded faster but not all port uses such as flight is service are

more efficient. you get efficient services now but besides that the do things without due cause there is none for the other stakeholders in the industry. just. unpredictable every vessel entering or leaving nigerian waters is closely monitored here at the command and control center allowing for prompt response in times of distress or security breach up what is the busiest of nigeria sixty ports fifty ships berthier every day on average trying to support some of the last few years something creates revenue for the potential for further increases because of automation and other upgrades despite presidential directives to ease the conduct of business in the ports some agency is accused of circumventing reforms. and that is diverting

traffic to other countries but officials say with or without reforms such cargoes will still not come to the nigerian ports that meet at the center of the. russian actually come with or have. to the market and i've talked up to the neighboring countries for smuggling nigeria seaports account for eighty percent of the country's international cargo traffic over the last ten months the government generated nearly three billion dollars in duty but it also lost just much revenue in the same period to regional competition and smugglers nigerian ports are operated under concession agreement with the private sector or the ports authority supervising operations while ports around the world use advance technology sudden cargo inspections are still carried out manually in some nigerian ports hardly encouraging enough to businesses looking for a quick turnaround i met you greece al-jazeera lagos.

i take it in the headlines now on al-jazeera e.u. leaders have approved the final agreement for the u.k. exit but despite the approval british prime minister still has a major battle ahead to persuade british m.p.'s to back the agreement. all my focus over the next few weeks is on as i've just said on making the case for this deal as you've heard president younkers said this was the only deal possible this is being echoed by other european leaders and i think that is when people come to vote in the house of commons they would need to ask themselves about two aspects of this particularly the first is delivering bracks it i think we have a judy as a house of commons as a parliament to deliver bracks it and the second question is about what it means for our constituents and as i've said the deal that we have to live that i believe

delivers not just on what people want it when they vote it breaks it but also does it in a way that protects jobs protects our security and protects united kingdom in other news the man said to leave the house intelligence committee when the us congress returns in january as accused president on the trunk of dishonesty over his response to the murder of jamal khashoggi adam schiff wants trump's links to saudi arabia to be investigated is the latest criticism of the president from leading u.s. politicians since the killing the surge operations underway in uganda after a party boat capsized on lake victoria thirty one bodies have been recovered so far but more than one hundred are on boards and russian warplanes have targeted rebel held areas in northern syria hours after russia and syria accused opposition fighters of a poison gas attack state t.v. reports breathing problems for one hundred seven people rebel groups say they don't have chemical weapons though and deny this is spectacle in strike in the government controlled city of aleppo there are no international observers there to verify what

hello welcome to the program i'm adrian for the get in the money all mcallen was elected last year on presidential pledges to create more jobs and improve lives but for many french people his economic reforms are a disaster critics accuse him of being a president for the rich while hosting the poll one of his reforms is causing particular outrage fuel tax yellow vest protesters in paris blocked roads for a second successive saturday to tell mccall that they've had enough of his environmentally friendly tax on diesel aimed at causing pollution has to go and so does he catherine stansell reports. a wave of yellow in the french capital the anger fueled by a proposed tax rise. for the second successive weekend the so-called yellow vests created roadblocks and organized protests demanding president emmanuel macron scrapped the fuel tax. riot police stopped

thousands of demonstrators on the main avenue the saudis say from breaking through a cordon protecting the elysee palace the president's official residence. and the protests continued into the night with demonstrators setting barricades and cars on fire. the price of diesel has risen by twenty three percent over the past year to about a dollar seventy one per liter. micron's decision to impose a further increase of six point five cents starting on the first of january is the final straw for many here. the government takes everything from us they steal from us we have to pay for everything we are overtaxed and we hope that the protests will change things. some of the. the rising cost of fuel is going to trigger a civil war and i like most of the citizens we're already we're fed up with paying

so much all the time it's become the new normal but it's just not possible anymore . the president blames rising oil prices worldwide and says the tax is necessary for more investment in green and renewable energy social media has primarily been used to mobilize the yellow vests they say they have no leader or political affiliation police are concerned that far right extremists make infiltrate the demonstrations and provoke violence three thousand officers have been mobilized in paris. nearly three hundred thousand people took part in similar nationwide protests last saturday she people were killed and hundreds of others injured. france already has some of the highest road fuel taxes in europe across vowing to face down any protests and press ahead with his policy no matter how

unpopular catherine stansell al-jazeera. will macross five year economic reform plan includes reducing state spending by sixteen billion euros so that france sticks to the use three percent of g.d.p. deficit limit for governments cutting one hundred twenty thousand government jobs by not replacing civil servants as they retire reducing company tax from thirty three to twenty five percent and changing wealth tax on property introducing labor law reforms to cut unemployment and reforming pensions by creating a new single system. let's get the thoughts of our guests joining us today from paris is and good a cheli she's the c.e.o. and founder of terrorist that's a consultancy firm focused on global risks and strategic intelligence from sun via skype jack roland

a senior research fellow at the global policy institute in london also in paris we've got. chief foreign correspondent at the figaro at the daily newspaper let's start with you these protesters these yellow vests don't have a leader they're not unified under a political ideal or a union who are they what do they want. sure some come from the far left some come from the far right they're people who live most of them in the rule part of france and they need their car to go to work to go to school for the children to go to shop and these people this illusion the disenchanted disappointed if you like by globalization by what we call in french movies as you know. because they are in regions where you know where an employment is are you know factories have closed and they feel that

they're less treated less well treated by president obama call. than the what we call the boob or the the boers who are boy the. people the middle classes of the cities where the real estate is quite expensive in front of the centers of the city and they need a car and it happens that. the. most popular. petrol in from the price of the diesel because of taxes have been raised by twenty two percent for the last twelve month so they are fighting against that it's quite. important for them to pay and diesel have been. raise so much because it's now much more tax

than normal regular petrol because as you know it's much more polluting that regular petrol so france wants to stick with its obligations with climate change and so on and these people feel that they're not happy with the government to minute. taxes too many roles and it's a kind of revolt if you like against the government but the movement is getting down it was less there was rationed well less big less intense than last week in ok what will come back to that and the future of this movement in just a moment but first and go to chile and in paris is president mccraw a president for the rich is the political process in france cut off from reality.

well i think that in what is going on now is the. best people is the fact that they don't understand exactly where he's going first of all because he's not really fully well explained so there is a lack of they're going to recall a provision that secondly it's because at the beginning of the americans election he decided to. taxation which was. for the rich people let's say so that has been understood as a signal of he will be the president of the rich people so that's saying that has not be readdressed by the government because you know there is so many measures that have been. set up to compensate.

taxations so french people especially middle class because the point is the people who is protesting i mean in the street now those groups are those demonstrators there are mad men most of them there and the middle class that mean those who can that been if it from strong measures assertion mazarin's and not rich enough to let's. find a way how to avoid some taxations to be to be frank so let's say that this population feel that they are. as at his has been said previously that there are not a listen by the government that are taking they're not taken into consideration in the grow bore approach governmental approach and so they have to always pay they have to pay always but they don't know exactly. for what and

where the money is guy and there is a feel also a day in the ecological transition is just pretext to. take it takes a monday to fear. the state's big jets so it's one of the points. in and sun malo the president seems to turn to face down these protests what's wrong with his policies is there any evidence to suggest that in the long term they'll bring some form of benefit to the very people who are protesting right now. yes that's two point that michael of the making ceases been taking office that he has taken some refolded who haven't three payoff bring. activity to france for example the big issue at the heart of the killing that the

french that these the prison of their reach and that. decide he's becoming more unequal is the issue of a british ng do way if tax and tax on and decreasing tax and computer gays down meant to be measures which could be good for it investment in a french economy principle or the trickle down principle but people don't feel each it and now in the mean why they see that there. is going down order time even though figures say that is going up people feel that is going down with good reason because in france wages of remained very low due median wage average wage in france is around fifteen hundred you pose and intimate wine prices increasing prices of commodities are just very important to people such as the price of fuel which if it did heating and their cost more taxes on pensions and

pensions are going up as fast as inflation is plenty of frustration of that which have been latent in france for quite a while and it's these crises as affected people are more the lower middle classes not the very poor because actually when we see the figures we see that the very poor have been if you did from many social measures every day can interject just check is it a mistake it wants is this period of austerity then flipped over the for the lower income and lower middle classes going to be worth it in the long run our president macross policies going to work in the long term. it's very different is very difficult to say. to now there's been measures to try to improve the profits of the company it has been cut social taxes which imperil taxes which should allow people to earn more when it but because of two now the french welfare

system is being financed by wages and the idea is to move to financing under which fair system towards taxation true a text on a c. is g. which is a flat tax on all incomes that up to no people don't seat even if you just did just see the cost and whether these measures like for example has been before that some people didn't measures a right which ever lead to a lot of protest right away and are a waste strikes and on their labor issues station business which meant to have a good impact but the program is are so that the it could make situation into your area is not improving a year ago things were going when your price of oil was going down the growth was quite high in europe and now we can see the same kind of stagnation in europe used to richie pretty seas which being at play in most of europe you can determine

toward impact on people and we can see that all of our europe and the great dissatisfaction we've seen great distraction in italy we've seen it in britain leading to bragg's it so the problem is a problem which can be fed to the european liver of these. people don't see an improvement in call me maybe tweak up but it depends on so many factors which are sometimes outside of control of government yet we come to those factors in just a moment including the influence of the of the far right not only in france but across europe in the row. a poll for your newspaper on friday showed that seventy seven percent of people in france supported the protesters thought that the protests were legitimate. what are we to make of that on a another poll suggested that his popularity rating slipped to twenty six percent what does this mean for the for the president if he could be a one term president here what does it mean for his party. of course it

is very bad for him to have only twenty six percent of for purity but we do not see in france for the time being any leader that would be more popular than he is so he doesn't have the time being a challenger so it's quite an important thing number two he said that he would you know reform forms you have to know that you know since the socialists came to power in eighty one. this country as not at all be managed if you like and we're just finding more and more and more and we have a country that spans more people criticize. the abolition by core of wealth tax but it's just a common sense decision because it's very simple all the rich french were leaving france to pay taxes as well and you don't because in europe you don't there is no

contrary where you got a wealth tax so so it oughter to get these french investors and international investors back to front. macko abolished this wealth tax which by the way didn't bring so much money to do the government it's just a common sense decision but this is this kind of in front of this you know worship of equality. revolutionary man and they think that the government can do everything at once government cannot so. what mccall said recently that he will not change is try to gee it will go on you will see i mean in three years and a half there will be presidential elections if people feel that referendums have really been made and that the country is. ready for new start with

him they will they will they will not vote him out their well meant keep him but if of course you have like several changes. they will they will say ok this guy is not not enough for iti and we will we will not keep him but you have also to consider that. in the last four or five months made several big communication mistakes in various pictures. and i can see like demagogic. selfies with. even with a guy was. getting out from jail and so on so this has also. been destroyed is president to image but i

think it's not over i mean i think that. can get back some popularity you know. polls do not mean anything you have to wait for elections and could ritually to what extent there is all of this playing into the hands of the far right in france one of the dangers here particularly when it comes to next year's european elections. well. i mean the government has focused on the latin the far right trends and the power political parties but i mean. there are not the only forces now in the political. spectrum e in france also the fire right has been accused to be too to be responsible of what the wet what happen in the shows or is it the violence and so on so we have seen it was obvious that we had all so far left. wing

involved in the violence so let's say that there is no real. opposition strong opposition to to crazy them back home so. i'm not sure that you know one of the slogan in the in the protest was to say that to vote to have a white votes. let's value politically that mean that's it's a way how to say that to remind them at home that he has been elected sanctioned to only twenty three percent of. french people because it was the i mean most of the people has voted my call at the beginning just to come to. madam mrs le pen which which is the right right political party so

let's say that in syria there is a chance to put to cool down the situation now because if the if the government by the way how to. speak at the same as i mean to show that it can take into consideration. what is going on now. because it's obvious that the spread this will not stop people has been pushed to to do that geck mccrum presents himself as a president brought to power the back of a grass roots roots movement a man who could heal the rift between voters and their leaders the man who could rebuild trust and democracy among those disillusioned with french politics. these protesters are much the same they want that part of a grassroots movement here they represent a spontaneous movement that goes beyond political differences at the moment are they they have

a political threat to michael. it's not pretty to go fred in future . figures. can survive you know a president of the republic in france and it did for five years it has a strong majority in parliament he would be in. the next freight an office. we'd be a boat to risk you to situation to eppy a crew is to do proof your visions of the people we see we know follow after the reaction to his speech on tuesday on tuesday night he tends to intervene if we speak to present is measures to try to improve the situation of the no and you know classes in france and to. try to show that these plant tools. time is plan involving energy saving these you know to prevent climate change when . we'd be explained more career and has been explained of to now when people are

fed up it was just an excuse to raise taxes and to make too had to state. budget requirements. so. we'd insist on the need to out of talks with the into a rigorous up to now is being perceived as too much of an technocratic leader with not enough feeling for about something in a ross roads especially in the province's and that's due to the fact that the spot is a new mommy new policy with lack of bus routes present on the ground check a row i need i need one very quick answer from because we're almost out of time here lacking as it does a unified leadership or a political umbrella how long before this protest movement runs out of steam can people's anger despite the disparate political views sustain it in the long term. thing that. still. i think that now it's looking

a bit out of steam i mean i don't believe that it will last very long people didn't like to see this images of barricades on the shelves elisi and burning of barricades on the shelves elisei. i think that maybe you have other protests because. people like to protest in front of is a kind of tradition but. i think that if mccall is able on tuesday to show to the people that he has got a strategy a strategy on the climate change that he's raising diesel taxes it's for good reasons. most of the country will i think understand him and is really the legitimate leader of a's is he has got no challenger in front of this is the reality romney thanks they thank you all and go to chile jack rail and thank you too for watching don't forget you can see the program at any time just by

it's the only possible deal european union leaders approve the brits a deal that can britain's prime minister convince parliament and the people to agree. also the search for bodies in lake victoria these thirty one ugandans of drums as they partied on a pleasure cruise. the plight of children because of the war in yemen more than three hundred thousand dollars and don't have enough to eat with health services near collapse. and a protest in madrid to condemn violence against women after spanish judges clear to men of rape. so the head of the european commission is called it a sad day and as the u.k. moves closer to leaving the european union leaders have approved a final agreement for the u.k.'s exit from the block and while the deal may be

sealed in brussels the british prime minister to resign may still has a major battle to get it through parliament jonah hill has a report. it took european union members just half an hour to endorse the negotiated briggs's text and they did so unanimously a momentous step on the road to brics it was the mood was resolute this is the best deal possible which is just a burst of possible for europe this is the only deal. the tone in place is somber and poignant gardner thought how it will all. one think. we will remain friends until the end of days and one day long. how it all ends depends now on whether the deal is indorsed by the united kingdom itself the live face of her critics to reason made must strike an upbeat

tone what we see in this deal today is a deal that delivers for people delivers on the boat delivers in a way that protects jobs and livelihoods and protect security and all united kingdom and as i've said before i believe our best days lie ahead of us for the prime minister the hard work is just beginning. leaders view brigs it now as a done deal they didn't want it but there's no need to sugarcoat it the british prime minister on the other hand has to sell the deal to parliament and to her own people she's got to convince them it's the best deal available. there is enormous opposition to may's deal at home and it could even be hardening with what's been described as her surrender on saturday over the future of gibraltar she handed spain and effective veto over future arrangements for the british territory the latest unpalatable compromise in the rising cost of brics it if parliament rejects the deal in the coming weeks what then may was repeatedly asked if she would resign

i said before it's not about me and i will say it again it's not about me but my focus over the next few weeks. as i've just said on making the case for this deal with the outcome in sat down to the brakes and gave may yet see britain stumble towards an exit without a deal. of louder and louder voices suggest a second referendum on whether to breaks it at all don't hold al-jazeera brussels. earlier on the news heard we spoke to matthew goodwin who's a professor of politics and international relations at the university of kent started by asking him about the potential impact of that city. i think the conservative party is going to be divided did for many many years to come prime minister may will certainly be hoping that she gets that transition into peace time if you like it certainly feels like the conservative party is currently in on a war footing but i think longer term the dilemma for the conservative party are

incredibly real and nobody really has a solution to the prime minister made about to deliver a bricks a deal that will not satisfy a large number of her back benches we now have an estimate that over ninety m.p.'s are going to vote this deal down that it's almost certainly prime minister made that does not happen numbers that she needs and i would add to that that we know that the conservative grassroots associations of the conservative membership is incredibly are happy with the deal they view it as a salad out as too soft as a betrayal of rights it so longer term i think the prospects for the conservative party look incredibly bleak. to flip it around for me if you would matthew and that's the kind of from the european perspective how do you think they're viewing all of this because i'm always reminded of the fact that your didn't want britain to go they never said it was a british decision to do it a very contentious one down but how do you think the europeans are dealing with all

of this now but i think the e.u. today will be feeling quite happy with itself it will feel that it's got prime minister mate to commit to a deal that minimizes the disruptive effects of bracks it but also keeps the u.k. closely aligned with the e.u. and i think crucially the e.u. will feel that this deal is not good enough to inspire other euro skeptic movements or other e.u. member states from leaving in the future however i would add that the problem throughout the negotiation is that both the e.u. and the u.k. have completely and consistently misread one another. ok has assumed that the e.u. would compromise on the full indivisible freedoms that come with getting access to the single market and the e.u. has consistently said it wouldn't and the e.u. you on the other hand i think has consistently the rest of mated the level of volatility in british politics there's no guarantee even today that this deal will

be signed off by the house of commons so the e.u. i think may have pushed prime minister may we may come to say this in a year or two from now out but a push prime minister may a little too hard and possibly jeopardize the overall process quick final question for if you don't mind from omar again on facebook life he said can briggs it cause a more serious division in europe i guess he's referring to the idea of other countries thinking oh well maybe we'll leave i think it's certainly possible i think it's going to be interesting to see where we are five years ten years from now once the u.k. is gone through that official process of leaving my concern i would add to the omar's comment there is actually the divisions that this is going to leap within the u k.

now in other news the man set to lead the house intelligence committee when the u.s. congress returns in january is accuse the president of dishonesty over his response to the murder of jamal khashoggi this is just the latest prism of criticism of the president from leaving u.s. politicians following the murder of the saudi journalist last month in istanbul we're checking in with alan fischer now in washington for more on this one this is adam schiff alan a man who we are hearing increasingly more from and no doubt this will continue. he is the man who is going to be the head of the house intelligence committee when we get to january and the democrats take over the house we know donald trump's position on the report from the intelligence services he made it very clear when he was heading down to florida and when he was actually n. florida itself what he said is the cia didn't make any determination whether or not mohamed bin soundman was responsible for the death of jamal khashoggi maybe that maybe didn't was what donald trump said and he was going to stand by saudi arabia

because there was a strong ally and he kept talking about how they needed to do business with saudi arabia how they were going to pump hundreds of billions of dollars into the u.s. economy the benefit of hundreds of thousands of jobs figures that have been disputed by other sources well i'm ship went on to the sunday t.v. programs here in the united states that a big thing and he said that look he has also had intelligence reports and what the president is saying simply isn't right president is not being honest with the country about the murder of democracy. i think in part he feels that by saying that we don't know or that the world is a dangerous place or everybody does it he thinks it makes him look strong it actually makes him look weak it means that our allies don't respect us our enemies don't fear us. what is driving this i don't know whether this is simply an affinity that he has for autocrats he seems to choose them repeatedly over his own

intelligence agencies or whether there's a financial motivation that is his own personal finances we do know of course he has openly bragged about how many millions he makes from saudi arabia. no those are pretty strong words from adam schiff and you might think well a democrat is going to say that but it's not just democrats that are criticizing donald trump mike lee he's a utah senator he's considered to be a very strong ally of donald trump in fact he was considered for the post of cia director before gina hospital got that job he has been talked about as a potential attorney general in the united states and he has been on the t.v. shows today saying look the president might get different kinds of information but he certainly get some of that and he thinks that the president is making a mistake he said his assessment doesn't match with mine he's talking about there being a lot more inquiries in congress about donald trump is so dealings and the way saudi arabia is conducting itself on the world stage there are certainly a number of senators who want to stop support for from the united states for the

operation in yemen at the moment and add to that the fact that senators will get another confidential briefing from the intelligence services on tuesday it looks as if there's going to be a lot of pressure on donald trump not just to talk with a lot stronger words but actually to back that up with stronger action because everyone seems to be the consensus that the intelligence services concluded mohammed bin selman was responsible for the murder of jamal khashoggi alan fischer in washington d.c. thank you. the u.n. special envoy for yemen has joined saudi arabia on monday for talks with the yemeni government leaders in exile martin griffiths trip to riyadh follows a meeting with rebel leaders in yemen basically he's trying to get all sides to attend the talks in sweden early next month millions of yemenis still facing famine after three and a half years of war in fact the u.n. says almost eighty percent of yemen's population are in dire need of humanitarian
