atrocities committed during the war in yemen which saudi arabia entered in twenty fifteen the saudi u.a.e. coalition has launched more than eighteen thousand dead strikes in yemen the resolution also calls on the kingdom to end the blockade imposed by three other arab states on qatar in june last year and the senators want the release of saudi blogger rights for dolly women's rights activists and other detained political prisoners john hendren has our report from washington. it's an extraordinary rebuke from the u.s. senate to a long time american ally a diverse group of senate leaders from both parties introduced a resolution that definitively blames the crown prince of saudi arabia for the murder of jamal khashoggi the measure which could be scheduled for a vote as soon as monday condemns kesho g.'s murder demands that the saudi arabian government negotiate an end to the war in yemen and an end to the political dispute with could talk and release saudi blogger rife's by dolly and other political

prisoners they have now linked old at least that belies ng actions that m b s says they starting with yemen passing by the sharks the murder on took up on any other level it is the latest bipartisan rebuke of the saudi crown prince and president trump support for him we are with saudi arabia we're staying with saudi arabian oil and not look at the king of the same way senators erupted in anger on tuesday after a long awaited briefing from cia director gina haskell sort of hard to call this a cover up given the fact that everybody in that briefing last week knew that tom peo and matters were misleading us knew that there was no way this murder happened without the consent and direction of m.b.'s of the senate is already considering an unprecedented bill to invoke the never before used one thousand nine hundred seventy three war powers act to force an end to u.s. aid to saudi war efforts and yemen. this six page measure would record the view of the senate that mohammed bin solomon is responsible for the murder of jamal

khashoggi and it urges the u.s. and the international community to hold him and anyone else involved in the killing responsible and a joint statement democratic senator ed markey calls the crown prince a fuck up and republican senator lindsey graham calls him a wrecking ball rare harsh words for the leader of an allied nation. the resolution falls short of calling for regime change in saudi arabia but whether president trump likes it or not the rift between the us government and its ally of eighty five years has rarely been wider john hendren al-jazeera washington and other world news who theory rebels and yemeni government representatives are set to meet in sweden the talks are aimed at bringing the four year war to an end the united nations says a conflict has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis that speak to. those covering the talks for us in brembo north of sweden's capital stockholm so this is supposed to be day one of the much anticipated talks between yemeni rebels and the

government representatives what are we expecting on this first day. indeed folly in about two hours from now the talks will officially start with a photo opportunity of the two delegations who three representatives and the representatives of the government in exile with the united nations special envoy martin griffiths and then there would be the only opportunity for them to be next to each other because from their own words it would be more of a shuttle diplomacy they would be in separate rooms and the u.n. all there would be going to different delegations talking about the details coming back with us all the way around the problem from the beginning of the conflict in two thousand and five was the growing divide in yemen to the point where it was almost impossible for the international community to bring the both factions to

talk face to face but however this is the first encounter since two thousand and sixteen what an important event for the united nations that it hoping to be able to bring the parties to negotiate a settlement this is what is going to happen over the coming days they would like to agree on a ceasefire to be extended across yemen prisoner swap thousands of people have been detained over the last few years in yemen from both sides and then the political framework which is what kind of political institutions humans should have for a transition of two three four years before a national unity government and you can situation and a new vibrant democracy in yemen but this is something many sources are telling us will have to take years and years and years to take the final say but this is quite an interesting moment more interesting for the international aid agencies operating in yemen the concern is that if the talks collapse it will have catastrophic impact on the yemenis and joining me to talk more about this is also who is the spokesperson all of the world food program sir. it's

a very tense situation in yemen how do you see it at this particular moment where the two parties are meeting here it is a very very tense situation it is in fact a catastrophic situation we hope today that doing door storch like you say a cease fire you're going to be negotiated because we need access we need to feed millions and millions of people the price of the food these hocking you know be so expensive the world food program is feeding to the eighty million people a month we are scalars to a million people at the end of these months into twelve million people at the end of january i mean that's a huge achievement for the world food program for that we need access we need access to all of the country speaking of the humanitarian situation which has been described as the worst in the world we're expecting a report from the world food program to be released any time soon talking about some particular figures whether this is what you've been saying in the past that fourteen million people on the brink of famine twenty million yemenis. might be

severely affected of the situation continues not because of her data the support of her data where seventy five percent of the impulse come from to human that's a focal point of the conflict now what's the situation that port is food still coming into yemen and that's a very good questions are they die is very crucial for us seventy seventy five percent of the food is arriving by our data globally in the country ninety percent of the food in the country is imported meaning that port is crucial the problem is that since for weeks we have a decrease of fifty percent of the number of ships arriving at our data port because the private companies are scared to board the security situation then we need to bring back the private sector at the port of data we need to have everybody in agreement to see the this is quite alarming by the way we're seeing that in a drastic decline of vessels coming into her data in. that people might die anytime

soon in yemen it cool of the two impact list for the market and the price will go up we have some stock for the next two moms the private sector stocks for two and enough months then of course we are planning or we are opening some new who is going to or the port including in one but what we need a year used to discus access and security for the port is there any case of famine that you are concerned about in yemen in particular areas in yemen you know using the word from him is very dangerous so that's a very scientific word we release a report to. be in or the part of today yes and that report will give us that the new number of people in need of money and this is going to be my last question i know you say away from political questions but you know you've been saying the best aid agencies have been saying that it's a come to what two million people suffer from severe among the tradition forty million at least on the brink of failing and that twenty million are absolutely in secure these talks at

a crucial moment for yemen now if the talks collapse the collapse minute times in the past of the collapse this time what kind of impact it would have on you guys operating in yemen delivering aid to the people or distribution it's already catastrophe could will be even more catastrophic because we would not have the access we would not have the security it would not be able to save millions and millions of people of if it was a thank you very much it will definitely come back to you later in the day particular when you release the when the well with food program releases its motion dissipated reports about human folly thank you very much for that hashem had live for us in sweden are some breaking news to tell you about and there's been a bomb attack on a police building in the southern iranian port city of. gunfire followed an explosion and no call reports say four people have been killed and nearly twenty injured the city is in the prevent province just on near the border with pakistan no one has yet claimed responsibility. for the attack an arm separatist group has

people should now be afraid china's embassy in canada has condemned the arrests of the chief financial officer of highway technologies man ones who was detained in vancouver on saturday at the request of us police she is facing extradition to the united states on suspicion of violating sanctions against iran mang is a deputy chair on her ways forward and the daughter of the founder raines and face the company says it's not aware of any wrongdoing by manning now while weighs a second largest city communications equipment maker in the world. as wanted with almost eighty percent of the world's telecom companies but a shadow of controversy hangs over it the u.s. has accused it of working with the chinese government to spy on american citizens and they're violating sanctions imposed against iran the u.k. new zealand and australia have either brock's part or all of the company's operations because of security concerns agent brown has more now from beijing. well the response from china's government has been swift and angry

a statement issued via china's embassy in auto were has demanded mung immediate release saying her arrest was violating her human rights the company meanwhile has said it's not aware that she has broken any laws now holloway has been under close scrutiny by governments not just in the united states but also new zealand australia britain and canada they're worried about its close ties to china's government and believe that those ties pose national security questions for various governments around the world now holloway is not just any telecommunications company it's the biggest private company in china and the world's second largest maker of smartphones it's worth about twenty seven billion dollars and mung is not just any chief financial officer she's also the daughter of the founder of very powerful business woman in china and of course all this is happening at

a very sensitive time in sino u.s. relations on saturday the leaders of china and the united states agreed to a ninety day truce in the time of war the question is this was president from pole where as he sat down face to face with president xi jinping the mung was about to be arrested and whether he was aware of the implications that arrest would have less speaks and more about this not to andrew long who's an independent china unless he's live from hong kong thank you very much for being with us on al-jazeera as adrian said there the timing of this arrest is quite significant coming on the same day as a ninety day two straight choice agreed a by president cheesing thing and present but the g twenty what do you what's your view on the timing do you think this of rest will damage the truce and more widely what impact will it have on relations between the u.s. and china. well this is

a delicate time high profile. and forstmann action against one of the most powerful companies technological companies in china. and possibly in the world. and this comes out of a sense of the time in u.s. china relations as your anchor was mentioning before there was a question of perceived national security as the walk way is perceived to allied with the chinese military and could well embed certain software or devices in his products and also the western countries are all called to attention to this fact and secondly. it's the suave way is the leading china's. growth

of the five g. market i mean the five g.'s the next generation of the internet is a much much faster than the current four g. and it is right at the center of china's make in china two thousand and twenty five strategy to gain the commanding heights of the technological. competition do you think the rest is really about violations of even un sanctions always there more to it. well of course i mean that's the as you pointed out right at the beginning i mean that the charges that walkway is so violating. the u.s. sanctions on on iran and selling their kind of thing the kind of products which are prohibited by this sanction and ascension of course was and was in the security council of which china forms upon but what i was trying to point out was that there was more than these sanctions. and it is

a question of perceived national security is the question of pushing back against china's strategy to gain become and in highs in the next generation of the logical a rivalry. and of course it's not just a trade why reinvent a trade negotiations. punctuated by troops is still going on so the trauma administration probably wants to gain more bargaining power in terms of negotiations which china and also firing a shot across the bowl warning china hey you know you mustn't think that you can do anything i mean or trying to threaten the dominance of the united states and remind china of the country's vulnerabilities adjured on thank you for talking to us thank you for sharing your views of us thank you still ahead on al jazeera.
