7:10 pm
doors that did in. trade with india it would go would bring to a billion dollars of exports from india and so i'll hold a radio very sure it will come under discussion and also the fact that the saudis are looking to connect to the chinese bloggers on economic guarded all were dressed up give them a short go and give it to china for trade to read oh why was there anxiety about the visit in terms of doing things like clamping down on social media and banning gatherings of more than five people what was behind that. well obviously there has been a controversy and specially after the killing of the woody journalists the brutal manner in which he would gaited did raise a lot of eyebrows headbutted much be understood that the relationship between august on in saudi arabia and then ordered one transcends beyond bush analogy they
7:11 pm
did their strategic relationship right now so dear a.b.i. has alledged august on to be fall defensive that's part of manpower is concerned but it also must be understood that a few years ago if the progress on the parliament shot down the idea of a better more stable didn't bother him and again fall ground troops to be engaged in yemen that so did wanted dad however the bugs on the parliament tooting that down so indeed it will be interesting to see what happens during this rigid kemal i just thank you very much indeed. united nations envoy martin griffiths is back in yemen's capital sana'a for talks with the rebels to try to shore up the fragile cease fire deal in her data as was it for as reports of the attacks on government positions in the strategic port city on saturday as a direct contravention of a un brokered truce agreed in sweden two months ago while the cease fire has largely held up to now neither side honored an agreement to withdraw their troops
