okay cologne thought they want to thank you for talking to us thank you very much for having me. now war famine and some outbreak of deadly cholera in yemen the situation for civilians is bleak especially for young children more than a million children under the age of five are severely mound. to our team in yemen so fast hand just how desperate the situation has become at nine a summary reports from the serbian hospital. in the capital sanaa and a warning some viewers may find. this is a day. he's seven months old he has severe malnutrition. desperate to help him his family traveled for weeks from the remote island of socotra. to a hospital here. in yemen's capital sana. but if the feds. we tried to treat his malnutrition on the islands. but there are no facilities available no skill doctors. so we came here to sign on.

hello. you know on such a survey on the journey he was uncomfortable and sick. when we arrived here we were surprised to see how crowded it was. were they told us to come back another day. how about a guy one tiny? but a story is not unusual. war has brought yemen already the poorest country in the arab world to its knees. a two year bombing campaign led by saudi arabia ostensibly targeting iran backs who the rebels. has left thousands dead. this week u. n. decried. in yemen saying a deliberate economic blockade was being used as a tactic of rule. in a country heavily dependent on food imports. the results a stark. millions of children like a day all malnourished. and the country is on the brink of famine and with the guys. medical infrastructure already limited before the violence began has been

decimated. after a four day wait abed is found for a day. his fate now lies in the hands of these medics whose resources are severely stretched. many of them have not been paid in months. across the corridor is a si. just over a year old he too is suffering from acute malnutrition. buses they did not but he's weak. z. as omitting them has a problem with digestion vietnam digest all that shit about it of sort helping a lot of hospitals about that. they've not been able to teach and i did a few criminals such found mike diddle she added to a butto. windows and then. this boy arrived foodies ago in his condition had that as he cannot move we bring a note from the mouth. some some children the hospital doctors know ts

little relief in sight. yemen was hungry children. to the united states now whether it's any generals is full of people have been charged by the leaks to the media jeff sessions says the justice department. has tripled the number of investigations link to looking up classified and sensitive information. that's been a steady stream of white house leaks most recently the transcripts of phone calls between president trump and other world leaders. sessions said the lakes were undermining the government's ability to do its job. and here's what i want to tell every american today. this nation must end this culture of leaks we will investigate and seek to bring criminals to justice. we will not allow. rogue anonymous sources with security clearances do sell out our country. these cases. they're investigate and prosecute are never easy. but cases will be married and lakers will be held accountable.

prevention is what is required an investigation of a leak. is to life really. that damage is done. what is gonna to washington correspondent galaga family is that and i got to go we just had jeff sessions as trying to take an aggressive stance when it comes to stopping these lakes because so far? and nobody has been able to stop this sensitive information from getting onto the front pages of the american newspapers. yeah absolutely and this is proved to be a real nuisance for this administration since a day one it grew into a major source of frustration and ultimately became a. full out obsession for this president who is constantly tweeting about these leaks. saying you know that they put in jeopardy national security put of the lives of americans at risk we heard those exact same words from the attorney general. during this upright so called friends and donald trump always talking about the

necessity of cracking down on those leakers and punishing them. to the fullest extent of the law and that's pretty much what we heard today from the attorney up. general this has also you have to keep this in mind fueled. much of the negative perception in the public opinion of this president and the inner workings of this white house because as you mentioned these leaks such as in the case. of. these. leak that transcript of of phone conversations between the president and not some of his foreign counterparts would expose. a donald trump some weakness is his inability of time to get what he wants and his lack of mastery of international. about protocol it's also why

conveniently. shifting the conversation away from some of the more sensitive topics that have been dominating the headlines such as russia gates. to another. completely different topic and that's the leaks and the leakers that that's right and that has been a lot of talk and about subpoenas today has make gallagher because that other investigation that into trump's alleged collusion. with russia has taken another turn one that kids me bad news for the president. absolutely and that's the one that this administration does not want us to focus on our talk much about but it is gaining ground quickly so this. at empaneling of a grand jury by the special prosecutor robert rulers very serious development probably one of major concern. for this white house because it is a move aggressively so in the direction of collecting evidence issuing as you mentioned. subpoenas but also potentially indictments against. members of the i. trung

team or the trump entourage in order to cure them not i. what could be called me a criminal trial will not there yet but this is certainly a developments in that investigation if that grand juries there? it is precisely because this broth special prosecutor. a belief that there may have been crimes that this a grand jury will matzah. decide whether or not someone is innocent or guilty but will look at some of this evidence and make decisions based on that evidence in terms of. how to move%-rfoa very serious development for this administration and the news seemingly tightening her ever so quickly around this up president snake and certainly? some members of his team and again thank you very much and a guy like a family that reporting from washington.
