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 amount because. i don't the clock this is out 0 light from the holes are coming up cutting it is a death sentence but it's of despair the un is a donor conference on yemen falls far short of funds needed to help millions caught

between war and starfish. thousands turn out in support of our media is in battle prime minister under pressure to resign for his handling of the conflict. security forces in chad are accused of killing an opposition leader's mother and son reigniting protests a month before the presidential. so the biden ministration has sidestepped any direct action against saudi crown prince mohammed bin salim despite an intelligence report on friday revealing his involvement in the murder of journalist jamal hostility al-jazeera state department correspondent roslyn jordan has this report. 3 days after the bike net 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 it 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 of 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 new. other $170000000.00 in humanitarian relief still not enough said aid workers to help the people suffering from 4 years of war 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 the united nations human rights investigate tackiness kind of ma expressed her concerns over not taking action against the crown prince.

it is extremely. in my view problematic if not then generous to acknowledge someone's kind of credibility and then to tell bad someone but we won't do anything was it as if we had said nothing and i am calling on the u.s. government to act all of its public findings and to sanction mohamed ben-simon for what he has done to sanction he eyes and beyond there are 17 percent he seeks now individuals are sanctioned to sanction him into diplomacy sense of the word by wishing him follow some of those. circulars i'm cooler on my own fuel and plead to only internationally to really allow for. more investigation of killings and although i only wish i'm so against john the least you annoyed the finder is let's hear now from james warren who's

a political analyst and executive editor of news god he says that biden's promises as a presidential candidate a turning out to be more complicated than he thought. 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 win 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 upset 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 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 and probably comes after that that ultimately is his leverage in this long term negotiation of sorts so to ravers a civil defense says that 5 people have been injured with the result of a who theme missile attack of territory a projectile fallen from yemen hit a town in the border region of design on monday rocket fire has increased over the last 3 weeks as fighting intensifies and we haven't reached. the united nations

secretary general says he's disappointed by the outcome of a global donor conference for yemen tony caetera says event raise roughly $1700000000.00 u.s. dollars that's less than half of the 3850000000 the u.n. was asking for diplomatic editor james bates reports now 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 famine anywhere on earth in decades today i mean is bearing down on yemen the race he's 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 country's 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 $3500000000.00 that the u.n. wanted there was an absolute bare minimum needed to stop a famine not quite 9000000000 just over 7. $100000000.00 per month to have. 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. out 0 of the united nations. personnel busy legislative manager for middle east policy 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. the u.s. the u.k.

france and others you know need to pay their fair share of this donor so ments 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. they had you know you have got 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 colorado and gay fever covert 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 and it's an urgent concern that we restore this critical humanitarian funding it's important to note the aid along can't support

a population of 30000000 people and that the saudi blockade that's 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 your state department is threatening for the sanctions against me most military if it continues to crack down on protesters follows the most violent day since last month the security forces have been increasing their crackdown on protesters across major cities at least 18 were killed on sunday. we condemn burmese security forces brutal killing of unarmed people its attacks on journals and activists and ongoing unjust attentions the united states in close coordination with our partners and allies we have made clear to the burmese military that violence against the people of burma is a whore and the recent escalation in tactics by security forces is reprehensible the united states stands in solidarity with the 10s of thousands of people in burma
