northwestern syria in response to an advance by syrian government forces turkish president. is threatening to drive back the syrian troops unless they withdraw from the strategic important town of sarich and more than half a 1000000 civilians have fled the area since the start of december. and israeli forces have shot another palestinian dead in the occupied west bank the 5th case in 48 hours a funeral procession has been held for one of the victims a palestinian policeman who was killed in jenin on thursday. coming up next our program focuses on companies that have profited from the war in yemen stay with us for that.

i. was. it's a school trip. 60 children are traveling going across one of them to thomas. the rest would be filmed by security cameras suddenly the bus is hit by a bomb. the strong blast rips through shops nearby. love the love i had that moment was low about well maybe i love that i live in a like you fish of life not that i know a lot of a lot of you know another love of god

a lot of it i have i have one and i'm going to the moon is going to go you haven't i anyway but. to let me have enough i got out of an up hill and what i. opened and i thought i'm about one year like a lot of fun at a. time and even me usually about half an hour usually in our human hand i say head oh there's a love of. ali was 11 years old he was buried alongside the other children the airstrike killed 51 people and left 79 wounded. the scooba. this was hit by saudi u.a.e. coalition jets they called it a mistake and claimed their target was the who the rebels the armed group that overthrew a democratically elected yemeni government the group has controlled northwest yemen and the capital city of sanaa says 2014 is saudi and u.a.e.

led coalition is trying to crush the who these and keep their next door neighbor in check it has pounded yemen relentlessly more than 19000 airstrikes since the coalition entered the war in 20151 3rd of these attacks have struck non military targets. it is believed that the fighting from both sides has caused an estimated $50000.00 civilian deaths. saudi arabia buys its weapons from the united states and the u.k. as well as a number of european arms manufacturers led by french and german companies. officially the use of these european weapons is compliance with international law but the truth is far more complex the say you can manufacture a weapon produced in a 2015. minutes on screen and it will and should go on the go

together muffled but you look polite this is all a. quest 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 falls which focus on the previous. evidence has been gathered accusation. has to be mechanical the bomb maker of them was go back go join a computer think that lets you know that the u.k. and france themselves those states are risking complicity in future unlawful coalition attacks.

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. who support and majority of the victims of this war are civilians every dean of families fleeing the fighting the 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 women and their babies flock here there from her day down

a city near the frontline. that. the city not safe. to think i think putting 6000 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 for the past 3 years. there hasn't been to see any money that i had to get them out of this event and if i did it if this is that why is it that i. learned that i. was. ready and then that i will do this as i. have a hood to be pulled out. alumni and then at the

cash out am a number that sell them. and at the end i had them with and then had them when i met chad and if we had 7 that had they known that i was $7.00 and $8.00 that is again. one of hannah's children already died from malnutrition and since the war started. to stop the filthy weapons supply the coalition has placed a naval blockade on yemen simultaneously preventing the delivery of food and humanitarian aid to the rebel held areas where these families live. have. failed to love those. kind of. set up for her leave. even. newborns are suffering and before the war this new need 2 units usually cared for around 10 babies now there aren't enough into beaters to house the ailing

infants on the way. and may lack a job or something like all good imma say heaven may lend a muttered to himself i had. this mother brought in her baby last night her 5 month old girl is fighting for life london said that. several. bad now well the. first answered our questions. get a bit of a 100. 1000000 the lead babies come. in the you know news. of. their land to let it you he says sanity to address a las time. that the week.

that. it. ends it can see again in my dining alone mayor halibut privately that. i scented through and see them a bit. since the war in yemen started $85000.00 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 supply. in the coalition with weapons based on a multilateral treaty regulating arms sales that has been enforced since 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 airstrikes 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.

the manager of the storehouse says these bombs are u.k. maids. as. they are film and i love watching your money highly secure not ok are you why the a lot. of on a rally so all have equal if. you look at have to know how that bit funny so i think they're not mosshart more. than with. your mouth you want me to get out. of a star. well good. for our british. internationalist to get mail how they. want to me back. a little while how do you feel about me not another how i want to leave the house up more give elect about the other 2 to. hear but i don't have them you know if you go lucky.

one cluster bombs like this hit the ground they become land mines which have been outlawed since 2010 by the also convention. and the any 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. so. if you're in a place where they won't let you take photos but you want to get the g.p.s. and you the phone that has to can take g.p.s.

coordinates sometimes if you just take a photo of the floor then you can get the g.p.s. coordinates at the secret site 25 members of the engine or not and 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 where trying to do something like a human rights memory for the violations that happening and 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 friends and we are facing a lot of hate campaigns for all parties to the conflict what is the 1st way a you would try and find information about what happened with fear strike.

ok. you know. what do you mean by you say oh. oh oh. ok great so my now you know sam is 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.

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 coalition began 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 do you claim 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 the war in yemen u.k.

arms manufacturers have sold more than 5000000000 euros worth of weapons to saudi arabia this support has sparked an eye. president and wave of protest from both the british public and parliament. british arms sales have sharply increased and british military advisers are directing the war it cannot be right that her governments this is pretty good cannot be right that her government is truly looting in one of the united nations ses is evidence of war crimes. they discovered that the british government had loosened the licensing process to speed up arms exports we find out for the 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 more sensitive exports that can be made we're talking about bombs we're talking but nestles in fact government has hidden for true value of u.k. arms exports to sony via. t.v. . even a member of the u.k. parliament's 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 nation have been sent on these open licenses to saudi arabia you know we have no idea because the government just does not record their 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 interesting but difficult one because the amounts of money involved. so you are always going to come up to the front page of ethics. economics. france faces the same dilemma during the saudi crown prince mohammed bin said man's last visit to paris president emanuel mark home was asked about the issue. in a position of. blessed with a security lobby so did he go on the exam thank you many and again the population here in. 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 quite the contrary. loved all the others ship us dollar short messages if you go check on 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 mulford about for it this is all michael janda really obvious to me ruling the old enough you just got gold of having said. no

only of all but deserve a nickel more than the baguette the last leg clare to divulge it damn me don't ever eat salt or tories as your express is set on. these are still x. plus and if we then examine x. taimanov he who would give us only reason i mean is there really to press is a moment of silliness i don't know me notional but act. 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. half. trying to get us and our intel and if you show you the best value think about a shock you don't like l.a. galaxy illustrate the creation of a truck. but how does france monitor the use of arms that it sells. like you. with the french government feel 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. and. i'm still left on

my children even as in down south to see that. so he'll soon be getting ready to we can take will be down with the stuff of the so here's what to say but don't be a catalyst a 1000000 people here because of what i mean. because i don't necessarily care and of the issues i went on i did offer muscle but she recovered by the weapon i destroyed this ocean polluted the so once she does it it will be so screw you and all of us could want to assure that yeah sure but the city as it will point to it will see if a new company. that will question you ask 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

this contract was signed while the un was raising the possibility that the coalition committed war crimes. none of the details of these contracts have been made public it's not the 1st controversial defense contract between france and saudi arabia. in 2014 france signed

a contract to sell 2400000000 euros worth of military equipment to saudi arabia officially the saudis were supposed to give them to their ally lebanon to help it fight so-called terrorists. but 2 years later the saudis decided to keep the weapons for themselves with france's approval they claim the situation in lebanon had become too unstable. but this decision appears to have been premeditated. jimmie johnson nor sweat it in winners understeer. or one more day than the day imagine a yellow open shoe g.-man or in no urgent don't fall off and on maternity unit was on a 20 oakland word that to do for national geographic emetic incessant vengeance of an facile true young pleasure for when your man is certain or you don't.

a little just as big as. i think it is if i said i'm to get on television it's a good and fresh again. to me but it's going to be. all . nothing seems to have slowed down the sales not the accusations of war crimes nor the thousands of civilian deaths not even the murder of a saudi dissident in october 2018. is all that is good judgment to treat breast cancer that's really an issue that i do so to taste accurate history of it it evokes a lot of the so did. i should be again it is true it is something straight up i still mood. in france z's killings per the official protests

but its effect trade with the saudis. in germany the reaction was harsher. that's. been done to name them all nixon. and the chance there's decision to the promise she made 7 months earlier but never put into practice and goal was putting together her government at the time ishmael long doesn't manicotti void it just stood. at the prompting of social democrats. to stop exporting weapon this to countries involved in the fighting in yemen. has to. act.

a woman the game and stopped in a ball in the house was dissolved disappointed ticked side fair do you think your novel for the internet's another put it took but boy. the goodness comes love i'm so lucky. in germany 136000 people work for the arms industry and number of this decision was numbed the nest applauded by the german public. and open. with a member of the committee on foreign affairs and the disarmament commission for 8 years i'm going to back and i need to be kind of off and i thought the army found it. hard to get bidding on creatures in the harmony. does evolution begun to. invite of an export economy to be adding another geelong

amended got its bohol saudia have been vetted by that point from the bonus with. some weapons makers didn't even wait a few months. time mittal germany's 2nd biggest defense contractor apparently devised a strategy for getting around the back. finally time executrix refused to answer what's coming. the information came out by accident discovered by a former italian and she. were. 29th 2015. p.t. and a colleague were getting ready to take off from calgary airport's. say a medicine might be no. better opening.

to the. beetle the bomb that. was the bomb but. able to document that meant they're going to starve and. we're going to. turn around. but you. know that it. depends. on the. stuff to be complete got to be stopped a quest. for costs i went that meant that.

he then discovered that more bombs were about to be shipped out this time on boats belonging to the body shipping company which belonged to saudi arabia. to contain aerial again the group has done no. container. entering shayna visually for. that. he filmed more than 20 of these convoys where. he also made a key discovery the bombs are manufactured by an italian company that belongs to germany's tell group. they are encased series bombs identifiable by the code stamped on them during manufacture 84447.

with this code a link was made to a war crime committed against civilians in yemen. in october 26th the saudi and u.a.e. led coalition bombed the house where a couple and their 4 children lived. the strike killed the entire family. the bomb remnants found in the ruins carried the high mattel subsidy stamped 38447. that is a ski lift for the going to provoke little sort of. course saying the. saudi . women to. their sky ain't that.

their investigation prompted germany's peace networks to take action. it confirmed the findings of arms experts next hour he spent the past 2 years investigating the arms exports which is fine mittal channel to saudi arabia through its alyan subsidiary. i'm asking. these are from a defense i'm on this one if me or nautical marks and i meant to imply gunmen yeah but talked owns of maybe one or all. mentality for us. on that help they need to string all men from that union all's legal to get you see in the audience i've been having what a few years old you have been a fool and. with politicians feeling to stem the tide of arms flowing to saudi arabia some activists have turned their efforts to the courts. among them

a team in the group painted by andrew smith and experts with a campaign against arms trade. in march 2017. filed a complaint contesting the legality of uki arms sales to saudi arabia it worths 1st . 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 there is a clear risk that weapons might be used to commit a serious violation of international humanitarian law. an arms sale should not go ahead the case brought several classified emails to light like this one consider the defense secrets. in it the head of the export control joint 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. on june 20th the u.k. court of appeals ruled on the case declaring british arms deals to saudi arabia for use in its war in yemen unlawful. the u.k. government has halted licenses for weapons exports to yemen while it appeals the ruling. this victory has provided fresh hope for human rights advocates in yemen as they push forward to relentlessly with their investigation. despite the chaos they have not given up hope that one day the perpetrators of these crimes and their

accomplices will be brought to trial. for the victims' families the mourning will not end until justice has been served.
