a number of attacks on saudi arabia on oil facilities and on an airport and they conclude that some of the materials used in the attacks may have been transferred in a manner inconsistent with the security council resolution 2231 that's the resolution enshrined the 2015 iran nuclear deal of course they can't make a definitive judgment on that because it's not clear to them when exactly these materials were transferred from iran whether it was a breach of the nuclear deal what i think is important about this is it gives fresh ammunition to the u.s. that what is a very politically sensitive time the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. kelly craft is preparing a draft resolution which is very controversial she want to extend the arms embargo on iran and she's making threats she said if she doesn't get her way then she's going to trigger a provision of the iran nuclear deal called snapback bring all the sanctions

international sanctions against iran back into force you may ask well how can the u.s. do that because it pulled out of the iran nuclear deal it is a very tricky legal position and certainly legally doesn't seem to be any right now . there's certainly going to be a big dispute if they go down that route and it's going to be a dispute that pits the u.s. is closest allies its european allies on the side of russia and china against the united states. the un has issued a desperate plea for financial aid and support for yemen saying more than 30 of its 49 programs could close in weeks doctors in yemen have officially recorded more than 500 cases of cold and 19 but health care workers say that number lacks far behind actual infection rates the u.n. says the health system has collapsed with hospitals lacking beds and basic medicine and turning away sick people about 24000000 yet many more than 2 thirds of the

definitely what we are hearing as always seeing as the numbers being officially declared do not tell the story that the children of facing children are facing multiple issues so for example i would give you children are for now out of school and you would say well all should now the world out of school for the most part with the children in yemen almost 6000000 of them who've been out of school since march schools are probably closed had no access to any distance learning no access to education online no form of education at all in addition to that they're facing a conflict we have active lines right now you can't talk about children playing you can't talk about today even having some sort of recreation so at the end of the day the children of yemen are stuck is stranded to turkey now where farm laborers are facing extra competition and no wages because of the coronavirus pandemic hundreds or thousands of them rely on farm work during the summer to get them through when to that many other kinds of workers of lost their jobs are also looking for a means to survive simcoe sell has
