iran backed militant group hezbollah says that amounts to a declaration of war the group is accusing saudi arabia of using lebanon as a proxy in its conflict with rival iran is that you know if your problem is with iran why you are attacking lebanon just to preview have influence we admit that you have influence but if you think that you can defeat the lebanese resistance or its political parties who refuse to comply with you you're mistaken. lebanon's president met with the saudi envoy on friday local media reportage that the president demanded harry reid's return riyadh says hariri is free to move as he wishes a claim that front supported on friday but there is no doubts that the complaint is escalating the united nations has sounded the alarm this is a matter of great concern to us and what we want is for peace to be preserved.

it is essential that no new coal fleet you're ups in the region is going to have devastating consequences about this side iran rivalry is also playing out in war ravaged yemen a missile was launched from that against saudi arabia last week the united states is now i said that the missile was a rainy and. in the proxy war yemen is suffering badly now they were fia's levanon could become the next battle cry and. to talk more about this i'm joined in the studio by now they're all stars from our arabic service but they are one of the biggest questions right now is has he really been detained by the saudi government is a very good question some people say he is detained like we saw in the report has on us from other his policy chief is sure that he's been detained the saudi government didn't confirm didn't deny it were. really has been since last saturday

. and in lebanon itself most of the political parties and lots of the people are quite convinced that their prime minister or they resigned prime minister is not. able to leave so to rob arabia and he's detained against his will in riyadh. saudi arabia's crown prince is one of the key players in this conflict can you tell us more about him and what some of his aims are he's a. something people say he's very impulsive he's thirty two years old and he's trying to show himself as the new strongman and riad he's actually the de facto king his father is quite old and people think that he will announce. that he will step in and be even the king in the next few months and he's trying to fight iran on. many fronts like lebanon like yemen he

waged war against the who's the rebels in yemen in a very disastrous and a very. very devastating. step of since two and a half years and you touched on yemen another rivalry. human rights organizations are warning of the biggest humanitarian crisis in modern history what is the latest on this. there have been missiles strikes from the rebels to riyadh in the steam evening wear on. really has resigned and saudi arabia has taken this as a sign that as bala and iran are declaring war against them now it's not the first time that the who feeds. the missiles or strike missiles with a sort of arabia but it's been i think seventy times but i think it's

had been some on the grounds been prince he wants to end this war and i think he's trying to set up the action there have been airstrikes yesterday against what the defense ministry and some in the. yemeni capital so i think. where yemen is heading it's it's very wrong direction i think i think it's very very very tense situation there is a famine in the country seventeen people some seventy million people are. having food insecurity so it's very dangerous and there are cyrus thank you very much for joining us from. the european union is stepping up pressure on britain over brags that the chief breaks at negotiating michel barnier has given london a two week ultimatum to make clear how much it will pay when it leaves the bloc he

says that needs to be agreed before talks on trade can start differences also remain on issues with the irish border and use citizens' rights. to date news of progress and consensus from the projected brecht's of negotiations has been thin on the ground all the more surprising that the u.k.'s breck's it minister david davis came out with a distinctly positive view of the most recent negotiations there's no doubt that we have made and continue to make including this round significant progress across a whole range of issues across the board that may prove progress towards resolving some really difficult questions and that of course will continue that place between now and december in comparison comments made by davis counterpart bracks and negotiator mischa been year seemed much more concerned by progress yet to be made compared the process to

a matter of settling accounts as in any other separation and he offered a simple answer when pressed whether the e.u. is sticking to its two week deadline for clarification or concessions from london. my answer is yes. while many observers remain convinced that breaks it can't help but end in a nasty divorce there are still some who say the split doesn't have to happen at all as far as brussels is concerned as far as the treaty is concerned this country still has a free choice about whether to proceed as new facts emerge people are entitled to take a different view and there's nothing in article fifty to stop them i think the british people have the right to know this they shouldn't be misled the ball is once again in london's court if whitehall doesn't dede want to negotiate breaks it then the message from brussels is pay up. the german britons exit from the e.u. on. russia has issued a joint statement by president vladimir putin and u.s.
