a focus on the the wider crisis. so yeah. all right, thank you for that. joining us life and yeah, when we have a summer, there is a delay before you will heal a summer and he's on the phone because of the connection. i'm sure you will appreciate it is difficult to connect with yemen right now, but a summer. welcome to the stream. please introduce yourself to our audience. tell them who you are and what you do. go ahead. yes, i'm out of medication. that's that is on supplementing violation. so the international law. thank you. all of you guys for being part of our program on youtube. if you've got questions, concerns about what is happening in yemen right now. use the comment section, put your questions or comments in there. i'll do my best include them in today's

show. i much going to move away from youtube and actually start on twitter as we would planning this show, have a look here on my laptop. a said she asked is very simple question simple, and yet complicated. why the senseless killing to ring? what would you say back to fetch he it is a complicated question, but it is the sent. the killing has absolutely been senseless. over the last several years. i think if we want to talk about the origins of the war, we can trace it back to him and use desire for a democratic society back in 2011 with the arab spring em and had its own arab spring in january of 2011. which altered and turned into an armed struggle between various groups. there were a couple of years of hopeful transition when the long time dictator had stepped down at his insurance president time. he was elected in a one man, an election essentially. but he was given this post

a temporary post to try to bring parties of the country together and some kind of unity government at the end of 2014 the these took over. this is a group that had long standing battles with the former government. and they took over essentially the capitals and it led to the civil upheaval and in many parts of yemen. and essentially in march of 2015 and escalated into an all right, international conflict which we see playing out today when side to radio formed a coalition of several countries including the u. e. and with full backing and support from the united states and the united kingdom to launch this offensive in yemen. and that led to where we are right now with the who these forming and shakia lines initially with saw that to push back against this coalition. and now they are essentially on the other the only group left to form some kind of arms or struggle against the coalition. and the coalition continuing to mostly use air raids to and

of lockheed to try to assert the high, the former president, heidi or the internal doesn't have the back to power. so we'll get a very compact explanation of how we got to this place. i deal with saying, hey, on the string today that we are seeing this intensifying will happen in yemen. are you seeing that to what are the sites? yeah, so, so just so answer the question about the why the, the simplest killing. and i think the main reason for that is the lack of in the accountability mechanism to, to hold all those actors accountable for their violations of human rights and further work crimes. and that's why we conflict park. he feels that they are at liberty to, to pursue their own interest regardless of the, the suffering that they are in place of on the population. and regarding your 2nd

question. unfortunately, the conflict is escalating, especially talking this year when, when the note pack is moving the complex way be any way by firing this all if i know the air for to be for example, on other areas. and in retaliation, we're seeing heavy air strike campaigns by default. the way you look coalition on not only the faruqis actually, but also on the territory under the control of both the of which have you know, which have civilians and civilian targets indiscriminately. and so, and all of the developments and the scene are in personally, you know, they are further derailing and or the still piece process. so civilians are being impacted and unheard and killed from the huffy fighters and

also from the saudi led coalition. i need to make that very, very clear. when i'm about to show you though, is a survivor from an attack on a santa detention center. and a, this man is called mohammed and he's got horrible wounds. i just want you to be ready for this. and he can explain what happened to him. the saudi lay coalition have not said that, they are responsible, they said they would investigate the attack. his mom it fertile. oh, but be with the miss. i hit ward number 3 and i was in war number 2. my mates and i was sitting and chatting about our release from prison and how our cases will stand with the judge and what would happen after we are released. then the plain struck at around 130 or 2 o'clock. suddenly piles of debris were on top of no golly mother called the howl of every little wood. i was trying to free my leg from under the pillow and the war plain continued to bombard us. i tried,

i tried and i removed the debris from under my leg and i got out. i could not help my friends because my leg was broken. i was crying to people for help as the war plain continued to strike and hit the rest of the wards completely. we're gonna be going over on the water bottle. some are you are speaking to us from santa. if we ask you about why the conflict is escalating from your situation in santa, what would you tell us, how would you explain it to us? well, the be a bit of harm, different parts of the country. and it's clear and it's an indicator for that behavior. the one martinez actually calling back because they are impunity. i'm the national community to ensure accountability for the

violation i'm trying to. i'm going to be from the recent military commission on the in generally my feeling more my 100 civilian and more than 200 others including women, children. we documented strikes like coalition and beyond that tax id. hope this is activities been for when there is no account timidity, the boarding for unity so much for sharing with us a summer. i want to bring him to spokespeople one from the who's the fighters, one from the saudi led coalition. it's ironic that they're both saying the same things and what they're both saying is civilians be where have a look. have

a listen. but in the auto just didn't dialogue, we renew our warning to citizens residence and companies to stay away from vital headquarters and facilities as they are vulnerable to targeting and becoming period . hey, law for thought the to move it up with, you know, the most of them will animate any who these have to reconsider when using civilian locations. because under international humanitarian law, they forfeit immunity for any person or organization that misuses the legal immunity. under the international humanitarian law, the site will not be considered the civilian site, and thus it will be a legitimate military target to assist them. at house, on our warnings that from both sides of this conflict, but how much care has been taken to look after civilians are showing the start. i mean, it's preposterous to think that the saudis have had any regard for civilian casualties

in yemen over the last several years there, there was a un report several years ago leaked to report that describe their targeting civilians as indiscriminate and intentional. and so the idea that we are that they have any regard for civilians is mind boggling. and you know, it's just been a threat for the who used to not use civilian places is essentially to say that all civilian places in yemen are going to be targets just as we've seen. we've seen them target prisons in the most common in the most recent air strikes as well as telecommunication centers. there have been targets on schools. there have been targets on mosques and people in their homes, people and moving vehicles. i mean, a coalition that targets moving school bus full of children knowing that they were, it was a school bus full of children, really has no red lines when it comes to civilian casualties or protecting civilian casualties in any way early on in the war. and they declared the entire governor, it upside that which quarterside arabia a military target, the entire government with any,

with everybody inside this government has been targeted as a military fighter, essentially. and you know, whether it's a hotel or the saudis, the civilians are caught in between. and i think this spokesman, who you mentioned, the clip that you showed was perhaps talking about in minority and savvy civilians . but when we look in the toll of civilian cash. so as far as to set from a pick up, go ahead. yeah, i agree with what you said about the you know, targeting civilians and civilian targets in an indiscriminate way or the targets are disproportionate to the, to the impacts and civilians. i absolutely agree with that, but i also would like to point out that you know who these are also known for using, you know, need civilian buildings or like you either to sort that were sent

or you know, they use school. they, you, is there use all of these facilities to further with are for the military activities, which, you know, on personally, not only, you know, bazillion target danger, but also, you know, the, the surrounding neighborhood, people who live around those facilities. and we know that these, they are big on using the images or the you know, the images that come after the aftermath of the people dying or they're using batch for their own advantage to kind of show people when you look, this is what the coalition is doing this is how they're doing gemini, cold bloodedly, and what they're doing with that is that they're, you know, they're using that to recruit more people, you know,

and more shows the battlefield. and that was, that has brought that has got to be effect. let me just show you a headline. that is, is it's very disturbing here. this is from al serra dot com, to 1000 children, recruited by humans who faced died fighting that is from the you and, and the number of deaths in yemen from civilians. a most of them are kate's, most of the children a summer. you in yemen right now, i want to bring you into this conversation. we have a number of questions on youtube. off about what is happening in yemen. i'm going to ask you very briefly to so these, if you can, andrew wants to know why was a prison in sana, be targeted i, this is one of the course to be addressed to be to the the boarding party, to decide that is going to be attack,

they could explain why they targeted this or that's the case. i think that's a very good point. i have one more question for you before i and that we have a some i have one more question for you. and again, this is from youtube homes, a wants to know how much support to the who teach enjoy among ordinary yemenis, i need to feel very people in the street, so they are very restricted. after the 7 years the company has are doing for their daily needs. the situation has to be calling me as much support. i won't be at my knees. i'm

the one block, he's documented many incidents where we have committed how the boy parties are vision. okay, i thank you. some of which takes me on to how people are struggling, how ordinary civilians are struggling. maybe they may not even be getting direct is had but food and access the food is very difficult because because they being displaced. here is one family story who's been displaced and what food, what food aid is getting to them? have a listen, have a look. blood and the cannon, my doctor before we left our city food was affordable. we used to have meet fish chicken mother here and everything. there was everything. but now circumstances has imposed this on us. a lot of for calling shadow ed doolan. and so every 2 months to

give us a sack and a half of the wheat 2 cans of cooking oil, a bag of salt, a bag of sugar and a bag of lentils. that's it. up at my adela bus service, lead a family that it is getting some think some earlier we spoke to elliott, she is for the regional communications office of the world food program. and she was just very frank about the situation that they already have. listen, have a look, don't yet he is waiting for it to prevent the food security situation from printed interrogation of their biggest challenge now is funding. the current funding crunch means we're taking food from the hungry to feed the starving. and since the beginning of year, until the 30000000 people are assisting the 100 is the food rational progressions of 8000000 of them is cut us come at the worst possible time for the many people who are dealing with consequences of escalation fighting. the urgency means

$800000000.00 from the next 6 months to maintain the current level of resistance. schultz. good to have you back with us at back, connected with us on youtube. a very interesting question. why is no saudi or emerald protesting against this destructive pointless war? i mean, i think the question, the question, the answer is obvious to people who live in a democratic society. these are autocratic society, where descent is punished quite heavily. we've all heard about the rich story of the us based journalist, your mouth hush of g a few years ago, who wasn't by the way, anti monarchy or anti study monarchy. he happen to have different views from the current crown prince. mm hm. it's been set in mind and we know what happened to him very well. so the idea that descent is even possible public,

the centers even possible with the rest that we've seen in the u. e. and my, and the, and the saturday via it's, you know, it's not possible for people to dissent in those societies. i want to bring them, but i'm, i'm gonna just preface it a little bit with i'm going to go to you via out 0 correspondent james base. he spoke recently to the u. a. e ambassador to the united nations. just after a couple of things had happened. so one was the who t fight is had attack of a daddy. 3 people died shortly after that there was an attack on a detention center in sata and over 90 people were killed, mostly civilians. and then james base had this moment at the united nations. and i'm really interested in how you unpack, what is happening here. geopolitically. take a look. your defense on the law has to be proportionate. does it

not? and the president of the council, norway, speaking in a national cock capacity, said the attack that took place and saddam was on except to what you have heard to day. and you will know following the work of the council that this is rare. what you have heard today is the unanimous condemnation by the security council against the terrorist attack against the united arab emirates on monday, the 17th of january. i'm not asking you about that. i'm asking about your response and whether it was proportionate given that at least 60 people have died, maybe as many as i'd like to refer you to the coalition statement on that matter. but i also like to affirm here that the coalition undertakes to abide by international law and proportionate response in all its military operations. so i think that her response talking about the united of the part of the international community through the u a. e and their condemnation of the park on the way as opposed to how they react says to, you know, not only, you know,

the coalition from the president in florida, but also all of the attacks that are happening. and then either by the coalition or by the food piece is it's, it's a sign of how the international community is treat. he's not an in person conflict, not in parking country. parts over the. it's being treated as you know, in the back yards of the go see, particularly these ravia. and the problem is that there are in many people advocating for an international arena, not even the government, the international recognize government of yemen is advocating for, you know, for the rights of the money. because it's, you know, so basically just fighting with the saudis, with the coalition, against interest of the citizen, you know, in the country. so it's, it is, it's frustrating to see the international community react this way. but i,

and i think that, you know, part of why yemen is not getting enough attention of the international arena, because the media doesn't cover much of the conflict in yemen. and also because i feel that, you know, the impact of the war and yemen hasn't really reach the, you know, european like countries like us say, you don't see, for example, refugees knocking on the people in those countries. and so not enough attention being given to the conflict in, hence why it's called the forgotten war. to me is that an end in sight for the i'm going to say for the civilians like for protecting the civilians in yemen is, are possible i think the only possibility for a peaceful young and our civilians can live a normal life in yemen. as for international parties to exit this war,

i have led through to some awards in yemen. osama living through a war right now, maybe had yo has 2 in yemen. and prior to this war, we have not seen yemen, turn into the world's worst humanitarian crisis. people when they're fighting one another, they don't blockade themselves and prevent food and medicine from and entering refuel, come entering the country. hey, john, i target their heritage side or their, you know, food storage site. so i think the hope that we have it for international coalitions to exit this war. so that yemen, you can come together and form some kind of coalition in a mentor. i'm kind of coalition government that will work for them. all right, thank you. input and had dale and osama really appreciate it and for the questions that you are sony chief. thank you for participating in today. shout, i'll see you next time. take everybody. ah ah, palestine was once a very different place from today that of palestine horsberg,

coastal cities became connected to the interior in an award winning film al jazeera world, his historians, an eyewitness accounts with portray, early 20th century palestine was a thriving vibration region, was spoken, investments were moving from one city to another, palestine 1920 on al jazeera. what happens in new york has implications all around the world. it's the home of the united nations. it's a center of international finance, international culture. to make these stories resonate requires talking to everyday people to normal people, not just power brokers, and that's where al jazeera is different. the mayor of the city announced that he was doing the way with the curfew. that was, that was to get everybody off. it's international perspective with the human touch zooming way in, and then pulling back out again. the corona virus has been indiscriminate in selecting its victims. it's devastating effects of plague,

every corner of the globe, transcending class creed and color. but in britain, a disproportionately high percentage of the fallen have been black or brown skinned . the big picture traces the economic disparities and institutional racism that is seen united kingdom fail, it citizens britain's true colors. part one on al jazeera frank assessments for china will benefit from the 0 call it strategy if the rest of the world cannot get together informed opinions at all costs focused on needs. i'm not writing that statement. critical debate with claims that need to constitutes an interest in chill threat to russia, but it's precisely his actions that created this insecurity in the region. in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera, the latest news believe in extremely harsh conditions, and for 10 years they was the victims of not just got to the monetary in prices
