7:05 am
a coalition led by saudi arabia began a military campaign against the he sees the 2022 warring factions agreed to a tube and cease fire the 1st extended true said 7 years, the un broke a deal largely held, but warring parties did not agree to extend, it is estimated more than 370000 people have been killed over the cause of the conflict. millions are suited to kill and lack access to basic health care and sanitation and has already one of the poorest countries in the middle east. or before the war broke out his sham ela, bessie is a problem. you have the activist on the former political details. he says civilians a bearing the brunt of the conflict. any em and you have 84 percent of the population in need of some form of a 2 thirds of the population are fully secure. people are sick. you go and ask any, any on the street these days and tell them who should win the war? who do you think should have the upper hand? who do you think should become the president of human and talk a lot of them and they'll tell you, we no longer care. i just need electricity,
7:06 am
clean water. i need a job. i need to be able to get rid of the table. that's all i care about. so when the level of fatigue death, we are really desperate to a piece in which ever, whichever way it comes, a lot of people think the end of the war is going to happen within a few weeks or few months. i would caution against that, although i'm optimistic, but it's a cautious optimism. it will take at least probably year or 2 years because the conflict is not just simply between the food is in the saudis. it's protracted, it's polarized, there are a whole lot more parties and factions inside yemen that need to be brought into the process. it's an inclusive listing and comprehensive process, or the end of the war for sustainable piece right now is that it is not in that shape yet. japanese media said explosive has been throwed out to prime minister

7:08 am
his usual counsel as approved president emanuel macros mentioned working bill. but that doesn't mean they're not disappointed. all frustrated what they've been telling us. they want to continue to continue to chemistry because they that if they continue to put pressure on the french government, that even though this bill will become low for bob's voicemail, mike will be forced to scrap the law and you can even see a. 7 link strike, people here component that no more somebody that a consumer, it feels as if the government is not listening or seeing what's happening in the street. so we'll continue to protest until the heroes and see as well. this is also offering this hipaa. of course, the council's decision is disappointing because we believe there was a legal basis for it to scrap the bill. we feel that the spirit of democracy is being respected in this country. sometimes opening up a sign over there saying, oh,
7:09 am
end of democracy because a lot of people feel like they feel that the french president simply hasn't been listening to the protest in the street that have been happening since the beginning of the year that he's disconnected from the concerns of ordinary people. now what is clear is that the decision by for all this constitutional counsel is of course a big win for persons of my he says is necessary to country pension system. however, it also is the next month it will be very difficult because the government regulated many things in france and follow them is also a lot of public control. when micro wants to continue with the reform agenda, it will be challenging. we talked about last, just there are cars. i suspected, the leak of us military intelligence records has been charged at a federal court in boston 21 year old juncture tara is a member of the us for the national guard. is accused of unlawfully copy and

7:11 am
highly sensitive intelligence and in we should explain that when it comes to top secret security clearances in the united states. it is not unusual for very low level members of the military, even in this case, a member of the air national guard. in the case of jack to shera, this is a volunteer position where someone would serve maybe once a month be called in cases of national emergency to have such a clearance. but it is not uncommon. however, it is something that is now under review in terms of whether or not that is still a good idea to handle these types of clearances on our uh, sort of a wide spectrum moving forward. according to the attorney general merit garland, that the department of defense is leading an important effort now to evaluate and review the national security implications and most important to conduct
7:12 am
