11:03 pm
to the capital sanaa and that gives us the basis as you're suggesting for great improvements in the throughput of the port and that's linked to the other aspects of this agreement on a day there which is to free up again the crucial sonner. data road the road from where data port to from sunup and the rest of yemen through which the humanitarian supplies run seventy percent of the humanitarian needs of the yemen so in such a dire state come through that point and who are these un supervise neutral forces who are going to be deployed to the port now where are you going to find them. well we the un has to work very very quickly that will be our first challenge to brief the security council on friday that is tomorrow. i will brief the council on all these agreements including rob obviously very particular data and what we're
11:04 pm
thinking about and what the u.n. headquarters in new york is already considering or the range of options i think the kind of thing that we're looking for are civilian monitors but they need to arrive very quickly the secretary general of the united nations was here with us and sweden yesterday and today and he was very strong in his view which we all abide by which is to get this darling get this done quickly we've got to have people on the ground next week britain's prime minister trees may have to keep trying to convince you leaders to help save her brakes a deal on thursday the e.u. said maes agreement was not open to negotiations the bloc now plans to step up our preparations in case the u.k. leaves without an agreement by march may have been told her proposals are not clear enough and the e.u. will present contingency measures next week the e.u.
11:05 pm
is clear as i am that if we are going to leave with the deal this is it but my discussions with colleagues today have shown that further clarification and discussion following the council's conclusions is in fact possible. there is work still to do and we will be holding talks in coming days about how to obtain the further assurances that u.k. parliament meets in order to be able to approve the deal. hole has been following events for said brussels adjoins the prime minister certainly trying to put a spin on her position but so did she succeed in her quest for an improved clarification for her detractors certainly back home in the u.k. . no she didn't and never really was going to at this meeting she arrived here saying she wasn't expecting a breakthrough look let's let's unpack briefly what has happened over the last twenty four hours to resume arrived here in brussels expecting that there was an
11:06 pm
agreed. set of paragraphs in a final conclusion that had been pre-agreed she was aware of them the e.u. was aware of them we indeed were aware that they were draft conclusions to be confirmed overnight they were pointing the way towards sort of politically comforting language to come out of this meeting and then over the next few weeks some sort of legal fix to be arrived at that might offer the assurances she hoped would persuade doubt to get into these to vote for a deal back in britain over dinner on thursday night after she'd made her pitch to the e.u. for the sort of sure and says she was after something changed they changed their mind led by the dutch by the french by the belgians were told. they removed a crucial part of the language a crucial paragraph the one pointing towards that future concession we're told because they were simply not convinced that she had a credible plan to use that fix to win over enough support to pass the deal in other words why make concessions now if they're only going to get shot down in
11:07 pm
flames in the coming weeks in the british parliament come friday morning theresa may had every right really to be quite angry extremely frustrated instead she puts on this positive tone she says the language was comforting enough the e.u. saying they hoped that backstop would never be triggered and if it is triggered they'll do everything they can to get out of it as quickly as possible none of that is new by the way the only conclusion you can draw from this is that she's sort of preempting what is likely to be a furious response back in westminster. when she goes home the question will be asked have you brought us enough prime minister to justify the events of the last twenty four hours the delay in the meaningful vote and the answer would almost certainly be no and of course now what we're hearing is that she's committed herself to a vote before the twenty first of january they often say a day is a long time in politics but certainly what is near to just over a month is going to be dreadful both well for all sides.
11:08 pm
or one imagines next week is going to be very difficult for parliament breaks up at the end of the week for the christmas break and it be an awful lot of pressure on her during the course of next week as i say to justify any further delay the reason may you know sticking as she always does to her script and postscript this time is we do believe such clarification such assurances remain possible and indeed they do seem to be different noises coming out to be leaders depending on who you speak to the austrian chancellor will hear from him a bit later in his final press conference they hold the six month rotating presidency of the e.u. is still suggesting that there could be yet another e.u. summit in january perhaps before that vote and if so that would be the moment for the e.u. to pull out of the bag that final concession that helped to reason may over the line that's what she'll be hoping for and that's what should be hoping to persuade m.p.'s at home next week that is still possible or see what does happen for the moment general leave it there thank you jen however in brussels. still ahead here on al-jazeera israeli forces arrest dozens of palestinians up to twenty four hours

11:14 pm
a partnership. if i can just kind of it still begs the question why has the parliament decided that now is the right time to have a formal army when you as a country are not formally recognized in the united nations for example by half of the global community half of the global community why do you think the army is more important now rather than getting international recognition for your stated. we are a sewer and god we have their eyes to ensure our citizens to have secure live here in because so war and as they say already then yes because there were segregated forces was transforming the procession alarm we are now he's just a time than a security force it became major to have these thoughts formation i got in always standards with nato allies i spoke earlier to carl bildt the former swedish prime

11:17 pm
is nonsense that is that the act of serbia just to provoke a the situation on the contrary. because there are security ports you when you armies in malta. we want good neighbor who would you want to have good fees to be very public of serbia very soon you'll be spiderman be because there is allusion to to have their love to sort of be annoyed to to have. nation be drunk or so on serbia is she bessie the rest of us republic of serbian people to go because they want to have one final agreement will open a new era of partnership in their region resupport to log on their paws these not the interests of course a lot of some very public of course about to have complex i was a has to stop it's in their parents on provocation to not a part of my country that is all what they can say no ok you say you want to have new partnerships of partnerships with who say. to republicans serbia as good
11:18 pm
neighbors better because serbia has to recognize or bandits not to provoke a because that way especially on the north part of course. and in terms of the long term approach that cost of a house you now have an army but you still have to try and win over the international community to recognize you as a sovereign state you have your story how do you progress forward with this sort of an independent kong armies and normal process which has nothing to do for the course of our policy for the good neighbor who would do all neighbors here including republic of serbia we want to have a dialogue very consolation process the republic of serbia but you probably go serbia has no right to that very in my car beyond the fact that. it will because serbia has the ring cognize the real citizens in these caunterbury because no ninety percent more than ninety ports and ninety five parts of the but people here

there is a different kind of pressure building the senate voted to support. but it's condemned the crown prince directly over the matter of national. grid another rumble in politics remember how the prime minister was sacked and then replaced by the former president quite a backlash and now the son of that would be prime minister has told his father will step down from a position many feel he took in the first place and just look at the expressions on the faces of british prime minister. and the european commission president brags of carrying on in brussels but the british prime minister has already said progress. is making preparations for a deal in march next year and they arrest. with
11:50 pm
the new spirit live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live at al-jazeera dot com from the u.s. senate to the united nations swayed in the middle east it is all yemen front and center this friday and not just ending the war but ending support for those fighting that war so in the next few minutes in fact these are live pictures now from new york the u.n. special envoy martin griffiths will brief the security council on the landmark deal agreed between the yemeni government and the hutu rebels on thursday many saying this is the best hope yet of ending a war which has divided the country and left tens of thousands dead and millions starving of course much of that suffering has come since the city led coalition injected itself into the fight against the hutus over three years ago and in washington we've also had the same is the u.s.
11:51 pm
senate is voting to end america's support for that coalition while also condemning saudi arabia and its crown prince over the murder of jamal khashoggi now we will talk more about that in a bit and we'll go to this briefing when it happens as well but i will start with the old who controls what map of yemen the visualization of why so many global bodies are talking about the war at once this is the important side of things all those areas colored and brown they are the hooty controlled areas that include some of the capital includes that very important port area of the data over to the side the rest of the country as you say in green controlled by the government and its allies in the blue areas a spur a presence of al qaeda it is an incredibly fractured country and that is why this deal is so important so as we wait for that briefing to begin we check in with james bays diplomatic editor at the united nations hello james martin griffiths what say expected to say today where are we going. well i think what we need to
11:52 pm
see at this security council meeting is some of the detail of how this deal is going to work because clearly it was an important development that took place twenty four hours ago in sweden the most important development since the saudi led coalition started their intervention in yemen but it's only the first stage and there are some big questions already we've seen good news which is the seas far in her data holding for now but the deal talks about a redeployment of forces in who data it talks about security on be on the ground being protected by local forces in other words the forces that have been fighting each other and until a matter of hours ago and it talks about monitoring of this well who is going to monitor it is the u.n. going to send its own u.n. blue helmet force to yemen to monitor this i've heard suggestions that a third party country some other independent country might offer forces to do so
11:53 pm
but i'm not being given any suggestions of which country would do so and when we were speaking to ambassadors literally in the last couple of minutes as they were arriving for this meeting speaking to the dutch ambassador and the swedish ambassador both of them who serve on the security council currently and both actually coming to the end of their terms in a few days but they've been covering this. watching this very closely over the two years they've been on the security council they are asking that question they want to know the details of how this is going to work so all eyes will be on martin griffiths you can actually see him in our live picture on the video screen he won't be here in the room our local crews the humanitarian chief of the united nations will also be briefing he is in the room discussing things right now with the british ambassador karen pearce ahead of this important meeting of the security council my understanding from our martin gryphus was in stockholm i think he may
11:54 pm
well now be briefing from his base which is not yemen because it's not safe in yemen for him to operate there all the time he's based in amman jordan. has it fair to say james that all the eggs are in this basket that so much has been thrown at this particular round of peace talks and there was some success that say that doesn't one talk about what could happen beyond here if it doesn't work you know it's quite interesting that the expectations for these peace talks were set pretty low by mr griffiths he was telling diplomats well if i can get them to sit there to in the same place and if the talks don't break down then maybe we can start a process so he certainly achieved that and you saw the pictures of them shaking hands before the talks we didn't the think they were even going to be in the same room and yet it was shaking hands and they came up with an agreement now one very knowledgeable security council diplomat told me that in fact things have progressed far faster than anyone thought and that's why we actually have some of the details
11:55 pm
to resolve because the united nations really wasn't expecting to get to this stage it wasn't expecting to answer questions about monitors on the ground because they thought that was literally months and months away fings went well and actually were at that stage now and martin griffiths has got to come up with those plans now and what i think we'll hear his details in the security council meeting current president of the security council this month is cote d'ivoire he is introducing the meeting now and he will call toward gender item on yemen he will introduce mr griffiths to speak to the council and then we will hear from martin griffis in the next thirty seconds or so. going from around to not in accordance with rule thirty nine of the council's

11:57 pm
a half years of missed opportunities i think it's fair to say that the political process to find a comprehensive solution to the conflict in yemen has finally resumed this week during our consultations in sweden parties to the conflict reached several agreements included in the stock arm declaration which came into force on the thirteenth of december upon the publishing of the documents this is no small achievement made possible first and foremost by the commitment of the parties and the credit goes to them i was extremely impressed by their dedication all made concessions all engaged in depth and at length and intensively and in good faith last week's consultations saw the highest level of interaction between the parties
