country already deeply divided. the organization for security and cooperation in the europe. slamming journalists including dw's correspondent. says the move is excessive. ♪ >> i'm brent goff, it is good to have you with the spirit tonight, 50 people most of them under the 15, have been killed in an airstrike in northern yemen. the children were traveling through a crowded area in the southern province. they were on their way to summer school. they coalition at launch the attack said that they were targeting rebel positions. they said it was a legitimate military action.

they are facing condemnation for these latest civilian deaths. for more on this airstrike, i am joined by a middle eastern personnel of security affairs. these are dramatic pictures and the story is genetic. survivors are saying that the rockets intended target was the bus filled with schoolchildren. based children paying the price of a proxy war? >> yes, it is not the first time that the saudi's have hit civilian targets. they've hit funerals, markets, and now, a school bus. it is nothing new. i believe that the saudi's at they wanted to hit were not in position but i do not really understand what they hit a school bus in a market area. >> we cannot fathom that they would actually target the bus a truck -- knowing that children

are on board. only talking about inept people? >> i believe it is inept people doing the targeting. it may be the pilots. the saudi's have no experience in warfare. their last war was in 1934 in yemen. it is a first more they are fighting for decades for nearly, 30 generations. it is quite obvious that the airports that are still working are not really up to this job. that is why we have seen so many civilian casuaualties. especially, in recent months. part of the reason is, most of the military target are now better hidden. >> are we talking about a war crime if it is alleged that civilian children were targeted?

are there in consequences? >> no, why, because saudi arabia is a relatively important country and a heads unconditional support from the trump administration. we have seen that in recent days with their conflict with canada. this airstrike will not have any consequences and i personally, do not believe it is a war crime because i do not believe the saudi government or military pilots wanted to hit children. >> the military station on war through the arms sale from the u.s. to saudi last year, what impact is is having on the proxy will? are we seeing it now in the sights of accidents? >> it is very modern, american equipment used by non-american

pilots. that is part of the reason. >> it is a recipe for disaster. >> it save residency -- >> it is a recipe for disaster. what i do not really understand is why the united states is supporting this country unconditionally. thank you is without the possibility to end this war within 1-2 weeks by giving up eight and supplies -- maintenance supplies. i hope they did not have a hand in this actioio even with aerial refueling, the saudi's are able to leave this or. that is why the american government is probably responsible for what is happening here. as always, -- >> as always, we appreciate your analysis and insight. in the argentina senate, they

have rejected a bill to penalize abortion. the bill would allow abortion up to the 14th week of tennessee. -- pregnancy. the issue has proved deeply conflicting in this country. >> the marathon session in the argentinian senate ended before 3:00 a.m.. abortion remains, essentially, legal. >> we came from the country and we came to protect the rights of the unborn child. >> thousands of pro-choice demonstrators had gathered outside of the building in the rain. the majority of them came here to protest. abortions must be regulated. they find any alternative unbearable. >> there, in the senate, they

it is legal. even though his penalize, women can go for years in jail for having an abortion. it means these women will not have a choice. it is very interesting because abortion is a class i issue. it is widely known that it is offered by a high fee. the middle-class and upper-class are able to afford it whereas, poor women who decide to undergo an abortion than suffer the health consequences. it is not safe for them. >> we understand a grassroots organizations that want to make it illegal, -- legal and make
