7:12 am
inside and instead they left closed the door behind them and those 4 embassy protectors are still there so there could be an embassy protection agreement between venezuela's government and a friendly country which would allow that country to move in as a custodian for the embassy and allow switzerland to take over the u.s. embassy in caracas and this would mean a deescalation of the conflict and the possible nail in the coffin to for go i go i don't know if that's going to take place i know there are negotiations underway but it's very telling that the embassy protectors were allowed to stay inside for the federal authorities to enter venezuelans embassy is a violation of the vienna conventions our article $22.00 and it is it could be considered an act of war. a saudi arabian ship sent to pick up weapons in europe has been hounded by pro. along its journey and france are terrific seated in

7:14 am
frontline in the war in yemen and could be being used against civilians now the yemen conflicts being ongoing out since 2014 around $10000.00 people have lost their lives in the conflict and millions have been pushed towards the brink of starvation it's been described by the united nations as being the world's worst humanitarian disaster and the concern from amnesty international is that if it is possible that the weapons being sold by e.u. member states to saudi arabia are being used in any way to perpetuate war crimes or to violate international law then not means that they have broken the obligation when it comes to the arms trade treaty the voyage reminds us that states prefer to allow the lucrative global trade to continue to operate behind a veil of secrecy well i'm. misty points out that is saudi cargo ship has been
