3:08 pm
together muffled about to look polite this is all a. test for answers europe's leaders are keeping their lips sealed. because if he doesn't do it we don't need it is it a momentous year. for the phones to expose on the abuse. evidence has been gathered accusation nothing. has to be mechanical to bomb them off go back go china computer thank god let's show that it the u.k. and france themselves those states are risking complicity in future unlawful coalition attacks.
3:09 pm
the saudi and u.a.e. that coalition has been accused of violating international humanitarian law and the rules of war supplying the weapons used in these alleged war crimes would make the u.k. france and germany complicit. a majority of the victims of this war are civilians every day families fleeing the fighting poor into the region's biggest hospital in also the ca. most of the hospitals in rebel held areas have been destroyed so wounded civilians like these 3
3:10 pm
women and their babies flock here they're from her data a city near the frontline. that. the city of st. augustine 50000 so most of them. is a 6 month old babies mother she and her husband have been shuttled from camp to camp to escape the bombing with no need to feed their 6 children and for the past 3 years. there hasn't been to see any money time and again and not let them fight it like this if this is the mindset that i think. we learned that. really and then that i learned this as i think. now the hoodie thing.

3:13 pm
a las. oh man the i. know that. it. is a can see get in my den ink well mayor halibut but now that. i scented through on fever my very 1st. since the war in yemen started 85000 children have reportedly starved to death. according to the u.n. it's the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. in 2018 the u.n. appointed a panel of experts to examine the coalition blockade on yemen and the impact of the thousands of airstrikes launched against civilians there. it concluded that these practices could qualify as war crimes it's pointed not only at saudi arabia and the u.a.e. but also at the party supplying the coalition with weapons based on
3:14 pm
a multilateral treaty regulating arms sales that has been enforced as 2014 the arms trade treaty or the a.t.t. stipulates that a state party shall not authorize any transfer of conventional arms if it has knowledge at the time of authorization that the arms or items would be used in the commission of attacks directed against civilians objects or other war crimes. but whose weapons are used in these alleged crimes the filthies are keen to put forward their evidence. after air strikes the rebels scour the rubble for bomb remains to identify where they came from. the start of the remains at sites like this. this bomb cemetery in sanaa holds both american and european bombs.
3:15 pm
the manager of the store house says these bombs are u.k. maids. yeah i found out a while she'd go and say you're not ok are a few of the a lot of that shit. so what. if. you look at have to know how that bit funny so number. one with. your mouth you want me to get out. of a star. well good. for our british. intermission just to give mel how do you. want to back out that little while how beautiful love happen in the uk and i don't have one. but
3:16 pm
a sub more given that about the other. but i don't know if you go look. one cluster bombs like this hit the ground they become land mines which have been outlawed since 2010 by the also convention. and the only sort of but these remains were shown to us by who thiis one of the parties in this conflict we have no way to corroborates where they came from there are very few independent sources in yemen human rights watch is one of the few independent n.g.o.s investigating on the ground. if you're in a place where they won't let you take photos but you want to get the g.p.s.
3:17 pm
and you the phone that has to can take g.p.s. for. sometimes if you just take a photo of the floor then you can get the g.p.s. coordinates at the secret site $25.00 members of the engine on norton i have come together for the 1st time human rights watch experts are training them on how to gather evidence most prefer to remain anonymous for their own safety and that of their families were trying to do something like a human rights no money for the violations that happening in the ground to keep it for the future for in the accountability and legal steps. we are all. saved by accident. many of our foes are such as has been detained more than once and want to know is receiving a lot of firsts and we are facing a lot of hate campaigns from all parties to the conflict what is the 1st way you
3:18 pm
would try and find information about what happened with the air strike. ok. what do you mean when you say oh. oh oh oh oh. ok great so when i was i must point is a really good reminder the accuracy of the information collected on the ground is vital it will be used by international organizations in their reports or videos of the strike site they also talked about renditions and physical remains of the types of weapons that were used right so physical evidence can be very very important. human rights watch has only been able to look into 88 attacks that would be deemed illegal under international law in 24 of those attacks it managed to pinpoint where the munitions came from.
3:19 pm
this is a u.k. manufactured weapon guided bomb produced in may 2015 and the reason the dates are important is because it's months after the saudi a coalition and its military campaign as well as human rights organizations in the u.s. and others are raising concerns about the way in which the coalition was operating in yemen so by continuing to sell weapons to saudi arabia or other members of the coalition that are likely to be used in unlawful coalition attacks in yemen the u.k. and france themselves those states are risking complicity in future unlawful coalition attacks. aware of this risk of complicity the european parliament's began calling for a suspension of arms sales to saudi arabia 2 years ago. 5 e.u. member states have stopped sending more weapons to saudi arabia but does exclude the kingdom's biggest suppliers led by the united kingdom. since the outbreak of
3:20 pm
the war in yemen uki arms manufacturers have sold more than 5000000000 euros worth of weapons to saudi arabia this support has sparked an armed president and wave of protest from both the british public and parliament. british arm sales of sharply increased and british military advisors are directing the war it cannot rewrite that her government this is pretty good aid cannot be right that her government is truly looting in morally united nations says' is evidence of war crimes. 3 months after that speech troubling revelations heighten the criticism over arms sales in the united kingdom arms export permits are in theory granted on a case by case basis specific licenses must be approved by the government. and
3:21 pm
n.g.o.s the campaign against arms trade investigated the permits granted to export to saudi arabia. is good information flowing i think people didn't know but it was well that was really help him. they discovered that the british government had loosened the licensing process to speed up arms exports we find out free freedom of information requests that bombs and missiles are going to be forces under open license open licenses are meant to be for goods which are not that which are not particularly sensitive then 5 these are some of the most sensitive exports that can be made we're talking about bombs we're talking but missiles in fact government has hidden for true value of u.k. arms exports to saudi arabia.
3:22 pm
even a member of the u.k. parliament is committees on arms export controls said that he is powerless. as n.p.r. member of the committee has been able to know how much i mean he should have been sent open licenses to saudi arabia you know we have no idea because the government just does not record they are open tickets to send as much of that particular item to that particular countries saudi arabia in this case as that country wants and the company wants and that's a real problem because it could be hundreds of millions of rounds to saudi arabia the saudi case is an interesting but difficult one because the amount of money involved so you're always going to come up to the front page of ethics is economics.
3:23 pm
france faces the same dilemma during the saudi crown prince mohammed bin said man's last visit to paris president emmanuel mccall was asked about the issue. in a position of. business with china secure it did lobby so did. go on the existence of many and again the focus from. the french president is pursuing the same policy embraced by his predecessors on both ends of the political spectrum . between 20122017 the volume of weapons supplied to saudi arabia has tripled from 400000000 to 1300000000 euros. in 2015 when the war intensified in yemen it didn't slow arms exports
3:24 pm
quite the contrary. it's going to ship us dollar short messages to this you've got. the french government has continued to approve arms exports to a country accused of possible war crimes by the un. this sparked uproar in the french parliament in the only other muffled about for it this is all i call the ugly really obvious to me rule of the old enough force you just got going to devolve even having said. no only of all buddies avoca more than the back get the last leg claire to divulge it down me down to eat solve otoh he's as you express it said otoh he's our show x. class and if we then examine x. time i'm not he who would give us a zombie resume in his name if you have only to piss is
3:25 pm
a moment of silliness i don't know mean notional but. x. . according to flaunt sparkly question during a closed door meeting of the defense committee officially saudi arabia may use french made arms only to defend itself. can our weapons had an impact on the population. to my knowledge the ground equipment sold to saudi arabia is not being used offensively defensively. was. trying to get us into the final and if you show the best value think about
3:26 pm
a shock you don't like l.a. galaxy illustrate the actually i never. heard of it. but how does france monitor the use of arms that it sells. like you. with the french government fail to respond to repeated questions on the matter. it's all official response to the issue of arms exports. i report to parliament issued every year. since you left do you visit down south to see that. seal so you get to the weekend it will be down to the stuff is there something useful to say but don't be a catalyst 1000000 people here just to support me. because i don't necessarily care and of the issue i'm on i did of a mushroom but she recovered but not up and i just want this ocean polluted us i want you to call them so screw you and all of us but who want us for number is what
3:27 pm
you said yeah sure but the city is it will point to it we're safe and a company. that will question you asked me whatever you know the longest walk. you know. every other year french arms manufacturers gather outside paris in veal ponds to show off their newest and best armaments. along with us u.k. and german manufacturers they supply the saudi arabia led coalition in yemen with the bulk of their equipment.
3:28 pm
oh. get closer to that sea altogether f.c. boy scouts already a waste going places together bigger and potentially more dangerous that's the best way to describe what's happening with a smoking alternative known as favorite i enjoy the taste of it and not get the harmful effects of what smoking does between 20132014 along the start tripling in use among us high school students and head to head comparison you say versus conventional cigarette which one do you think has helped my opinion i think they're both dangerous take no one else does either.

3:54 pm
. the reason we took legal action is because we believe fees arms sales are not just and moral we believe it also illegal you can't export criteria is very clear it says but if it is a clear risk what weapons might be used to commit a serious violation of international humanitarian law. and on sale should not go ahead the case brought several classified emails to light like this one considered a defense secrets. in it the head of the export control joints units a government organization expresses doubts about the legality of the arms shipments concluding. to be honest and i was very direct and honest with the secretary of state my gut tells me we should suspend. the n.-g. o. lost the 1st round in the case but was allowed to file an appeal.
