things of the international monetary fund has been worried about, given that loan has been the use of bitcoin in the country. so now it seems, there's 2 ways that president naive bu kelly can go. they can even stop using it unlikely, and possibly get that help from the international monetary fund. or he can double down on big coit, which is actually planning to do at the moment. he's planning a big coin city in which bitcoin is mind. he's also planning. so called volcano bonds, which are about a volcano that can be mind whose energy can be used to my bitcoin. and he's aiming to sell those, those a link to help with bitcoin as well. so a sort of decision point is approaching for this country or salvador to really go with bitcoin, this potentially lucrative or bullet, but also volatile crypto currency, or perhaps to go with the help from the international monetary fund. ah, you're watching over with me. so robin, reminder of all the top news stories. russia's foreign minister says appropriate

as a dangerous the phase of that war in yemen begun to hoof. the missiles are intercepted of the united arab emirates in the 2nd attack in a week. so can the entire gulf region be dragged into humans conflict? this is inside store. ah . hello, who's a bro? remind him, ron khan. the capital of the united arab emirates is 1200 kilometers from the battlefields of yemen, civil war. despite the distance and being separated by the vast territory of saudi arabia,

debbie is now the target of who feet ballistic missiles. what appears to be a new front in yemen, 6 year conflict opened last monday and was repeated 7 days later. 2 missiles were launched from yemen towards al defra air base, nay, abu dhabi immorality forces and the u. s. hatchet. defense system. intercepted them, but flights into abu dhabi airport once again disrupted, 3 workers were killed navy airport in last week's attack. fuel tanks were destroyed at a petroleum depot. nearby u. e. is part of the saudi led coalition out war in yemen. the hu fees, a warning of more immorality attacks saying foreign company should leave the all rich hub and tourist destination. coalition commanders intensified air strikes on yemen during the past week one struck a prison in say the province killing at least 80 people another on the port city of her data knocked out the internet for 4 days. iran, which backs the hudy's, is calling for tools. mom, good fair isha dar manage,

we consider the expansion of the war in yemen, worrying and we demand saudi arabia. and the way take political measures with a constructive approach to end human siege in yemen to end to war, and establish cease fire in yemen, and urge yemenis to enter gemini, to yemen. he talks battle. the continuation of the situation is not this and will not be to the betterment of the region or either of the countries involved in the crisis any ah, let's bring in, i guess in musket in oman of deluxe barbara, a academic and research of focusing on the gulf region in stock home in sweden are for at nasa. yemen research, a human rights watch, and in washington, dc. novel, hoary. for me, your step limit in yemen and senior fellow at the atlantic councils refill career center for the middle east. welcome to the program. let's begin in muskets in oman . is this a dangerous escalation, or just a case of the chickens coming home to roost for the u. e?

it's been involved in the war since a partial withdrawal in 2019. i think this is a dangerous escalation when we see our capitals in the region and our cities are being attacked by missiles, it obviously doesn't work well for, for the region and brings the war to our, our, our towns and, and also destroys our facilities and destroys of course, you know, b and verification of the region being a safe region for investment and tourism, etc. and i think this was expected in a way because you know, the continuation of the war. and in this situation, the gulf states that interfered in this war in the 1st place, have not been able to end it. and negotiations have not let anywhere. and it seems that the war is now getting out of the contacts and out of control where, you know,

the gulf states are being attacked. so i think this is a very dangerous omen for the whole region, but not to be unexpected. to new bill. hoary, we've been warning of the americans have been warning that the gulf could be part of the war if it continued. if it continued on yet, negotiations haven't go anywhere. this was to be expected, wasn't it? yes, i don't think the emirates can expect to be playing in this war directly and indirectly without somehow getting affected. ah, this latest stop scale and fighting is all about the battle for matter. which is about a button for a natural resources of the m in the end in any p scenario possible. those c sources will have to be shared by all the regions of human. and so those are working on mediation right now should focus on making sure that there is

a formula for everybody to share and these natural resources, and therefore no need for fighting off on us or a few people have died in abu dhabi a yet, a 4500000 people have been displaced. 100000 people have died in yemen yet. international communities open arms about a few attacks in the gulf. i mean, that seems incredibly unfair, isn't it? i mean, logically speaking. yeah. and the recent escalation also sends a clear message that civilians are caught between 2 fires with absolute lack of accountability for these violations by parties to the conflicts and either an m and the u. e. or sorry, that abs williams should never should never be an object of an attack. but the reason escalation shows that part is to the conflict show an increasing this regard

for civilian life, for civilian and infrastructure, and for any prospect for ending the suffering of millions of civilians. whether in yemen or even attacking or targeting civilians and saudi arabia and the u. e. and when i say the lack of accountability is that we've been in this conflict for 7 years without anyone getting accounts for any of these violations. and just recently the u. n. a n, the man, the mandate of the only international in portia, an investigation mechanism to document war crimes and m. and so that gives, gives a clear order, sends a clear message to the parties to the, to the contract, to continue doing violation and attacking civilians without any consequences.

so civilians are only paying the price for being caught between $2.00 fires. a billable boot in moscow. often when an escalation like this occurs, it's because one party is absolutely desperate to strike a blow that may seem to be definitive or at least post prussia for at least bringing people to the talks. is that what's going on right now? do you think the fees are desperate and they want to bring it into this conflict, or is it an escalation? and then you just have nothing else left to playful? well, of course it's a very complex lot on a very complex causes for, for this. and i think from my own reading is that both sides have are fatigued now because of this war. the whole thing is we're, we're working very hard as it were to control module, which is all rich region. and because that kind of help them to sort out some of

the economic and financial issues, if they're facing with the u. e. a supported by a gate that drove them out of this, they are now trying to escalate. i believe also the coalition is i'm getting tired of this. it's very costly, war and terms of economics and in terms of even, you know, reputation and politics. and i think everybody wants to end the war. but no one really wants to talk about that reality on the ground. they want to end the war, as you know, on the condition that it started. and that is going to be very difficult because things have changed. i think also both sides want to bring it to the forefront of other regional and international crisis, you know, in crisis despite the fact that it's, you know, it's costing them and he's,

and their human life and of course, destroying the country. no one seems to care as much as given, of course, the multitude of different crisis, whether it is in the region or outside the region. so it seems that by escalating pushing this forward to bring international and regional powers and united nations, etc, to start to push for more negotiated settlement. and that's the only way that this complex is going to be resolved. i don't think there is a military solution. and it's only if we can get all parties sit down and talk reasonably to end the war, because enough is enough. you know, the, you, i mean, if you will, has suffered enough. and now we are seeing that the war has been we've been implicated in the gulf in this warren, our cities are being attacked. so i think it's about time that this war ends at the bill. hoary, it's about time that this will end, but that's a very long way away. we still have, and i do,

i'm going to use the term proxy war going on in yemen between saudi arabia and iran, both key players. how difficult is it going to be to get those 2 people over to on, around the table on this particular issue when they can't agree on several other issues outside of yemen? i mean, this is fairly low down the agenda for saudi arabia and for iran, right? yes, i think you're absolutely right. unfortunately, i don't think anybody is really tired of this war except the civilians who are the main target and the main victims of this war. ah, everybody else is gearing up and this war could go on for 10 more years. this, so the job is for the mediators, both from the united nations and the u. s. to step up their game in the end. this war is a sagal for power inside yemen. to fill the vacuum left by,

i lay out the father and all sides have ambitions to dominate the scene. these ambitions are over the top. there is no one side in yemen that can dominate the whole country. in the end, they have to share power, and a formula has to be imposed if necessary, to make sure that everybody would have a share in ruling this country. but they cannot dominate, ah, the regional powers intervening are all intervening for their own purposes. not for the purpose of hunting a. m, and this is a job for the big powers, especially the u. s. to get to regional players out of yemen wants him for all. will continue to talk about the politics in just a moment, but i want to bring in for an author here and talk about the human rights side of

this. it seems that every side in the human conflict has human rights abuses on its ledger. can you just talk is through what sort of human rights abuses we're looking at? look, there is no conflict between these destructive policies and the human rights violations. so if there were like any consequence or any, any mechanism to call abuse, there is a countable. we would see some progress whether politically or, and the human rights for don. so you have like, as the war drag on so many armed conflict groups that were created along the, the continuation of the conflict. so starting from the t arms group and somehow or the star would you like coalition and you back your many forces. and so the back to

yemen, you forces and the south. different groups have been committing a wide range of violations against civilians. so you have like a crisis, of course will detention either betray detention 1st. the blue disappearance of thought of bay shun unlawful attacks whether using besides rock could. the conduct of hostility is just reckless. every party in this conflict. and at the same time, you have back hurts and supporters from the u. s. new k, france, germany, you name it that they see you mounting documentation of violations whether from international human rights groups like human rights, swatch, amnesty and other groups. they see all these documentation and these reports coming

even from you and you and human rights constantly for us to that. she showed that there, there is a, you know, a wide spread of, of violation and some of them that could amount war kinds in yemen. and yet these are states and europe in the u. s. are these weren't leaders continue to support our parties to the conflict without any consideration to the human human life and human caught in the conflicts? it's just a really bizarre and frustrating the bias that you see at the moment, while jamini has been bombed since a year was attacked. and on 17th of january, it just tells you how the international community is under pressure and being biased to ok. so that area and they were a thanks to their big influence. well,

let's talk about that with the de la, the guests in washington, d. c. and the bill hurry actually said that this could, this will, could go on for another 10 years. however. is there any thinking in the u. e right now, given the listening human rights abuses that we've just heard about, given the escalation into you a territory that actually enough is enough that we do need to stop this war because it's now coming to our doorstep. yes, patriot defense missile system is working. the you are, you have managed to destroy the missiles that came in, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. i agree, i think it is very difficult to defend against such attacks and maybe one can be successful. and several times on it, it only needs one side to get through. and it is the psychological impact rather than of course, the end of the attack itself. and that has an impact on the region in the cities in the gulf that are going through development. and it's, you know,

want to attract investments and tourism, etc. and now being attacked. obviously, this is going to have an impact, especially in the u. e. because unlike saudi arabia, it doesn't have the strategic depth that saudi arabia has. and of course it is, again, this is going to affect it really badly. and i believe that the leadership in the united out of america is going to work very hard to try and to, to escalate and possibly now they've got more involved in the war. they probably will have a say as they did not do before and trying to end the war because now they are implicated in the war more than they were before. obviously that would drill a 2nd stage and now they are back and they're being attacked. so i think maybe the united arab emirates now can push for further d escalation and further talks. and i believe there is something going on at the

moment. it's difficult to tell, but i think there are some meetings taking place where the united arab emirates wants to play a role and trying to resolve this conflict because being a negotiation between the whole team and saudi arabia has in let, anywhere and of us. and also with the legitimate government, and it requires pressure and across implies pressure as let's say, from the global powers, especially from the united states, from the european union, from china and russia, and from the united nation. that they must end this war. obviously, you know, a water like this, there are a war economy. there are a lot of people who benefited from the law and who want to continue with the war. but i think the states themselves are tired. and in a way, i think this has been very costly or for saudi arabia financially, but also in terms of reputation. and i don't think the saudis want this to continue either. but i think everybody has to come to a recognition that, you know,

you cannot continue the bombarding cities and you cannot continue this walk. and there is no way not of the end. and everybody has to given it, given something or give up something for a peaceful resolution of, of the conflict. this is a very complicated conflict. it's probably more complicated than the palestinian israeli conflict because of this. so many different factions and interests and in this conflict and the bill hoary you've just heard were august in moscow, has had to say, do you still think that this could go on for another 10 years to does that? does his words give you any kind of hope for a quick, a quicker resolution to the conflict? unfortunately, i was a bit optimistic at the beginning of the bite and administration due to their focus, and they're sending a special envoy to help andy and war. but now a year pastor mark and nothing absolutely nothing has been achieved or my

optimism has evaporated. ah, you should be motivated for peace, but i don't see them making any m all for mediation or suing for peace. on the contrary, the u. e has been establishing a maritime empire that spreads from dubai through the horn of africa and up to north africa. they are very ambitious. and with that ambition, i don't see them all that concerned. i mean, they have good defenses. and their main cities will probably be defended against any incoming rockets and the rockets in the end of the day will not change the balance of power. that much. the balance of power is overwhelmingly in the air. on the side of the air of coalition on the ground, it's a different matter. and i think it's the mediators job to really

focus on mine or made a very good down. oh man, i can't impose anything. if both sides don't accept to come to the table, oh man can only offer ideas. but in the end of the day is the big powers at the united nations un security council that must ag with one another. and that must impose a solution of right now, sir, is absolutely correct about the bias. the i am ashamed that our own department or as to what happened. i mean, this is foolishly fired as you rock. it's sorry. i mean, you know, again, sorry we are running out to tom and i do want to come to offer nasir, you've just mentioned her there. this is the worst humanitarian crisis currently on the planet um and with everything i guess of just been talking about. there's no

quick solution to this, it's only going to get worse yet. not only do we have donor fatigue when it comes to kind of dealing with this conflict, but we also have political fatigue as well. people just don't want to get involved . they international. yeah. so as you just mentioned, this is the, the world's worst humanitarian crisis. and at the same time, in my opinion, it's the worst wars political crisis. are there seems to be political fatigue during that fatigue. at the same time, even the u. s. a demonstration is talking about a considering to do this, but he does ignite a group which will have serious implication, quarter 1000000, so so many ends look, both sides attacks can not be justified by others, a pattern and low from the attack. so what we need here is our

justice, a really no peace, no justice, and no justice, no peace. what hoti is where been able to do is because there is no consequences. what the saudi, that question i have been able to do is because there is no one consequences. yemen is in desperate need of accountability. the bias that the them you just mentioned, it's just shameful and disgraceful. and you know, the international community should, can them abuse? there's and by it a 3rd of all sides, this is the nice thing, not, not only emanates, all civilians deserve when they're in yemen and they, you 8. so that area so very and deserve a sort of that a to from the international story i, for, we all want to know that we already know it's hard to do when it comes to just very quickly of delivery, given everything you've heard from store time in washington d. c, that do you still believe that this attack could lead to

a quicker resolution to the conflict? now that the u. e. it's, it's come to the u. s. borders to so believe i don't think it will lead to a quicker resolution, but i think it will move the waters a little bit. and i think we have seen that. no. well, you know, the international leeway, special envoy, us special envoy, are visiting the region and they are talking i think there is a lot of discussions going on between the leaders in the region. so i think it is, it is a, it is a managed the conflict a little bit more to the forefront of international politics because it's been neglected for, for many reasons. and that is wrong because we're seeing people being killed and suffering. and then next to us, and that is a huge amount of having crisis is being said and the world at large, you can order this conflict, letting them just, you know, get on with it. so i think this is going to at least bring this to the forefront

and then there are some discussions, and i think the more attacks happens in the cities, even if they don't succeed, the fear of, of those attacks. and of course, there would be tensional damage. i was going to have an effect on in the gulf states, you know, we're, we're, we're small countries in a peaceful countries and they're trying to build their economies on occasion and investment and so on. and this is going to have a really bad reputation for you, a and for saudi arabia and for the whole region at large. if this is going to continue for a long time. so i think there must be a solution to this. i do want to thank all a guess, a billable boot for an officer and a bill hoary. and i want to thank you as well for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website out there a dot com for further discussion. go to a facebook page at facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story, and you can also join the conversation on twitter. handle is at a inside story. for me, i'm wrong and
