but changing society is a challenge and so is life behind the bad for india as. in terms of our partnership with saudi arabia as a recalibration it's not a rush the biden administration defends its decision not to sanction the saudi crown prince for the killing of journalist from out of sochi. this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up cutting aid is a death sentence words of despair at the u.n. as a donor conference on yemen falls far short of funds needed to help millions caught

between war and starvation. thousands to announce in support of armenians in battle prime minister on the pressure to resign for his handling of the conflict came to us by shell. security forces in chad are accused of killing an opposition leader's mother and son rig $1000.00 protests a month before the presidential election. so the by administration has sidestepped any direct action against saudi crown prince mohammed bin salmond despite an intelligence report on friday revealed his involvement in the murder of jews journalist jamal khashoggi al-jazeera state department correspondent was in jordan and this report. 3 days after the bike ministration declassified an intelligence report on the murder of journalist jamal 2 officials say they're taking a hard line regarding the mastermind named in the report saudi arabia's crown

prince and de facto ruler mohammed bin solomon we have also conveyed very clearly and candidly through diplomatic channels that this absolutely can never happen again that our relationship will be different from what it has been in the past and that we are going to be of course hold the option of holding saudi arabia to to their commitment to to take reforms in place and make progress moving forward but critics aren't buying it they say the u.s. should have imposed the same punishment on the crown prince that it has imposed on $76.00 saudi individuals whom the u.s. believes have sought to threaten dissidents overseas including those implicated in these murder at the state department spokesperson argued the u.s. considers king solomon not his son to be the country's ruler and that officials are trying to preserve a critical relationship in the middle east it's important to u.s.

interests and it requires continued progress in reforms to ensure that this important partnership rests on strong fundamentals and continues to advance our shared objectives in the middle east we seek to accomplish a great deal with the saudis to end the war in yemen and ease yemen's humanitarian crisis. ending that civil war is one of president joe biden's top foreign policy priorities he's already taken a harder line with riyadh by cutting all future off fence of weapon sales the saudis have long been accused of using u.s. provided bombs to kill again many civilians on monday washington announced at an aid conference for yemen that it would give a. other $170000000.00 in humanitarian relief still not enough said aid workers to help the people suffering from 4 years of who are they need to lift the blockade on

the blockade is preventing food medicine and essential goods including fuel from getting into yemen that you under a solution needs to be changed so it's inclusive fair and just by the administration specifically needs to stop linking the iran negotiation with peace negotiations in the. meantime another human rights question has been left unanswered whether in light of the national intelligence community's report the u.s. will ever give crown prince mohammed bin solomon and his family a waiver to visit the u.s. congress passed a law banning all foreign officials in their relatives from the u.s. if they were involved in cases of major corruption or a gross violation of human rights which many would argue includes. murder rosalind jordan al jazeera. james warren is a political analyst and executive editor of news god and he says that biden's problem says as a presidential candidate attending to the most complicated and the full. as

a candidate he had boxed himself in and he was unrelenting and very tough minded at least rhetorically by the saudis and the need to essentially bring them to him bring the crown prince to open those sooner as is often the case with american presidents they get into the oval office having won and life becomes way more complicated so the other day they use the word we calibrate the relationship not rupture the relationship and it reminds one of how candidate donald trump 4 and a half years ago said he was going to get the u.s. out of all middle east wars it never happened but you know for sure candidate joe biden was very said he thought the crown prince was directly responsible for the murder and now it happens they sort of try to have it both ways because they know how significant saudi arabia's and the crown prince undoubtedly is is

a little chagrined that we've been so at least rhetorically harshly call for abandoning that particular. military group that covert group but so lots of the saudis say ok we've done away with it they'll just replace it with something else i think ultimately the real problem is that you've got a young crown prince who's probably going to be the king he's going to outlive anybody in the biden ministration and the administration that comes after biden and the administration that probably comes after that that ultimately is his leverage in this long term negotiation of sorts saudi arabia's civil defense says that 5 people have been injured as a result of a goofy missile attack on its territory projectile fod from yemen hit a town in the border region just on monday rocket fire has increased over the last 3 weeks as fighting intensifies in yemen's merits. united nations record general says he's disappointed by the outcome of the global donor conference for yemen and

turning to terrorist says the events raise roughly $1700000000.00 u.s. dollars that's less than half of the 3850000000 the u.n. was asking for our diplomatic editor james bays reports from u.n. headquarters in new york for weeks the u.n. has been warning that yemen's dire humanitarian situation is on the verge of becoming the worst crime in anywhere on earth in decades today famine is bearing down on yemen the race is on if we want to prevent hanging and starvation from faking millions of lives to avert humanitarian disaster the secretary general convened a pledging conference to raise almost $4000000000.00 but while big donors did give money in most cases they actually reduced their contributions from a year earlier in the past the countries fighting as part of the coalition in yemen

saudi arabia and the united arab emirates gave the most this year their contributions were down to the head of the world food program warned that out of the $385000000000.00 the u.n. wanted there was an absolute bare minimum needed to stop a famine point $9000000000.00 just over 7. $100000000.00 per month to help. but in the end instead of 1900000000 they got 1670000000 the un's emergency relief coordinator read out a statement from the secretary general showing his frustration the best that can be said about today is that it represents a down payment. i thank those who did pledge generously and i ask others to consider again what they can do to help stave off the worst famine in the world to seen in decades. the message from the un to donor countries is pretty

clear thank you for your money but it's not enough and we're going to come back to you to ask for more otherwise there's going to be a massive famine in yemen. al jazeera of the united nations. well let's hear now from her son who is the legislative manager for middle east policy at friends committee on national legislation and he says the international community needs to push saudi arabia to lift its blockade on yemen. my initial reaction is that you know i have similar feelings as what we just heard disappointment the u.n. is warning of the world's worst famine that we've seen in decades and the international community was only able to pull together $1700000000.00 out of the $3800000000.00 needed you know many of the actors driving the humanitarian crisis in yemen including saudi arabia the u.a.e. either the u.s. the u.k. france and others you know need to pay their fair share of this donor some it's not

charity this is a moral obligation to people driving the world's worst humanitarian crisis on the planet through their military support and weapons sales to the coalition i just add that saudi arabia and the u.a.e. either had you know hundreds of billions of dollars to spend on weapons and airstrikes but not enough to support the humanitarian relief this this could mean massive cuts to programming to address malnutrition hunger calderon tangay fever kogut 19 and other diseases there are 16000000 people living in you know on the brink of famine right now you know 80 percent of the country relies on some form of food assistance for survival so it could mean that we're perpetuating and increasingly making worse the world's worst humanitarian crisis it's of urgent concern that we restore this critical humanitarian funding it's important to note that aid along can support a population of 30000000 people and that the saudi blockade that choked off the

economy is also a major contributor to the humanitarian crisis and the international community needs to put pressure on that as well. the u.s. state department is threatening possible sanctions against me and most military if it continues to crack down on protesters this comes a day after you saw its most violent days since a military coup last month purity forces have been increasing their crackdown on protesters across major cities at least 18 demonstrators were killed on sunday the u.s. state department spokesman says the escalation in tactics is reprehensible and has described the violence as a part. of the united states is providing ukraine with 125000000 dollars in military aid to help it combat what the pentagon is calling russian aggression the package will include training and equipment helping ukraine's forces to secure the border and improve their ability to perform operations to nato standards

press secretary john psaki who said even before the bilateral meeting that the number one priority the top focus of the bided ministration is to make sure that all u.s. americans are guaranteed access to the vaccine once that is accomplished then the quote unquote next steps can be can can be can be discussed now it shouldn't come as any surprise that mexico's president would sort of take this position he's actually become one of the loudest voices among world leaders when it comes to the issue in the question of equitable access among developing nations to cope with 1000 vaccines and not only because mexico's own covert 19 vaccination program has largely stalled because of this shortage internationally of covert 1000 vaccines but because there's many countries several countries here in latin america that have yet to begin their own inoculation programs for that very same reason so there are now deserved from the palace to the prospects of a jail term will have the latest chapter nicolas sarkozy's fall from. the new
