when it comes to the south. and again having technical difficulties with that we out we apologize will continue to bring you voices on the story that is developing and. now the important story we're covering parliament has met for the first time. the capital in two thousand and fifteen president. internationally recognized government from saudi arabia to take part in reports. for the first time since the war began president. addresses a session of yemen's. by the bullets at the sons of yemen targeting state institutions and they blew up the homes of yemenis and their mosques leaving nothing in authentic yemeni culture customs and values targeting them with vandalism and destruction. hasn't met since the fight for control of yemen began four years ago between who the rebels backed by iran and

a coalition led by saudi arabia and the united arab emirates which supports the united nations recognized government of president hadi he's been living mainly in saudi arabia since being forced to leave yemen when the war began the priority for this session is to fill parliamentary positions but that may not be easy the posts in this parliament were last occupied in two thousand and nine and its original six year term has long expired only about half of the three hundred one parliamentary members have turned up for this meeting. to favor peace over violence to transform into a political player exercising their rights and their obligations and constitution lets all embrace the options of. according to the parliament's facebook page one hundred ninety two parliamentarians support hardy's government forty five are under house arrest by the who feeds thirty three have died and thirty one have refused to

take part. a big difference between this parliament being legal and constitutional and or having hope in this parliament so very few are expecting anything from this parliament but again we are hoping that this parliament can at least help end this war that. it won't see any proof for the only people directly. but the who say honey is government doesn't have the support it claims they're now holding their own elections in areas they control to try to reduce the hardy government's majority two days ago saudi state television reported that coalition forces attacked who three targets in the capital sana'a president hadi may have a difficult job convincing yemenis that this parliament is a way to peace and that rob matheson. the new palestinian government has been sworn in and with a new prime minister mohammed tyra places rami huntelaar who resigned in january

but the new government faces huge challenges as need abraham reports from ramallah in the occupied west bank. this is the first flight to lead the government in more than a decade and has sixteen new ministers out of twenty one but many familiar faces the men in positions of power and the challenges they face are huge the palestinian authority is struggling for cash and the divide between fatah and hamas that i've been group that runs gaza is as white does ever culture minister safe was recently transferred to the west bank from gaza for treatment he is a federal official who was beaten up need his home in gaza last month reportedly by have loyalists have masses it's investigating how mass has already rejected the new government calling it unconstitutional. previous deal state the need to form a national consensus government of all palestinian polity the formation of a talk of when complicates this issue its own hands remain extended for the

reconciliation and the agreement of a government but all the palestinian people. but it's not just have mass and its supporters that the government needs to win over these demonstrations in the west bank last year were against the proposed social security low and more widely in protest against the government's performance in what is called a designation letter to president mahmoud abbas asked the new prime minister mohammad stay yes to really uni. by the west bank and gaza but it faces more immediate issues inside the west bank contrary to the letter of this ignition by the president i think the main mission of this government is to absorb the growing pressure against for the authority from the public and second to try to bridge the gap between the public authority by trying to improve the services to improve the performance of the government public employees have been on

half pay for two months now israel is with holding some of the taxes it collects for the palestinian authority and u.s. aid has been cut off this is a government that is inheriting a deep financial crisis and an empowered right wing leadership in israel so devival is a word we've been hearing from officials and analysts believe that people can handle the pressure but it's not clear for how long. but a month is president says he is open to a third segment with north korean leader kim jong un trying to says an additional meeting would be a good idea now that the two sides fully understand each other it was responding to kim's offer of more talks by year's end the february summit in vietnam without an agreement on the nuclear disarmament of south korea the secretary of state reiterated his voice to stand fast the stance of north korea during his tour of latin america. and respected north korea we've made real progress and how i am confident that the leadership in america will continue to make progress to solve

this on its cover the video when trump's tweet selectively quotes omar along with images of the world trade center attacks which we are not showing it was designed to suggest that omar was minimizing the effect of nine eleven but a fuller quote shows which he was actually saying is that muslims in the u.s. have been stigmatized since those attacks carol was found at after nine eleven because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties. in fact care was founded in one nine hundred ninety four but its membership increased dramatically after nine eleven she is receiving death threats on a daily basis this is not a joke for the president is not one of his boring jokes this is serious with us to do with safety the safety of every muslim the safety of my own children my own family enough is enough our president has to realize the danger of forces doing the

president's tweet drew a series of retaliatory responses from democrats who called it racist and dangerous congresswoman alexandria ocasio cortez said members of congress have a duty to respond to the president's explicit attack today omar's life is in danger presidential candidate senator bernie sanders said omar is a leader with strength and courage she won't back down to trump's racism in hate and neither will we another presidential candidate senator elizabeth warren wrote the president is inciting violence against a sitting congresswoman and an entire group of americans based on their religion it's disgusting it's shameful and any elected leader who refuses to condemn it shares responsibility for it for trump the provocative tweet was a twofer needling democrats and drawing an outraged response from his own supporters john hendren washington associate a salmon rights lawyer and as running for a seat in the forging

a state senate he says politicians are complicit if they don't condemn the president's words. we live in a time in america right now where right wing white supremacy terrorism is that epidemic levels the a.d.l. reports that last year every american killed by extremists was a right wing or white supremacist extremists this week a white supremacist burned three historical black churches and he did so because he hated christians but rather than condemning that the president lies about a black muslim woman the first black muslim woman in congress and the party is complicit because there is used to condemn it you know i'm reminded of the quote of dr martin luther king that in the end we will not remember the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends and it's a shame that congress is abdicating its responsibility to hold the president accountable to uphold justice and stop this bigotry and violent incitement and i commend the democrats like under caution a court has rushed us all live who have been you know bernie sanders bitter or

equiv been exposed to the clear that this is incitement to violence it's unacceptable they've had the courage and the compassion to name representative omar and stand in solidarity with her those democrats who are doing the both sides thing or refusing to acknowledge what point representative or i was making i think they need to do some deep soul searching and really reflect on whether they are true allies or not still ahead on al-jazeera from the ground in afghanistan at the taliban's so-called spring offensive gets underway. one mother's plea to the nigerian government to bring back the girls held by boko harami. i will tell you who will not be competing in formula one thank the grand prix on sunday details and . you can it.

a trade deal especially with new boarders would put his entire business on the line and on certain days they're all the time because like i'm completely dependent on the meat from these cars and laid off the product is made from miami to talk to to forty percent of that ends up in the u.k. so of course i'm alright course i'm worried it isn't just milk nearly a third of all beef consumed in britain is irish even more cheese and butter talk about trade deals and borders can sound confusing here it's about what goes into people's mouths the cheese on the pizza was made here in the republic of ireland the cheese was in driven across the border into the u.k. where the pizza was manufactured and is then sold across both countries use of an open border have led to this complex web of food production and distribution to the benefits of both the republic of ireland and the u.k. and this one which farmers here believe would be entirely jeopardized by no deal
