cooperation they will get from the who the rebels as well as from supporters of the former president ali abdullah saleh and there are questions of whether their findings will actually have any legal weight but their work will soon begin at least there will be some chronicling of what has been happening on the ground inside yemen where the international committee of the red cross says all the warring parties in yemen using disproportionate force which is that excessive civilian casualties it's also why the color is not the only outbreak the country could suffer and it's calling on all sides to open sana airport to commercial flights for sensually supplies. the situation from a humanitarian standpoint is a catastrophe we have we have something which is close to a million cases of suspected kolarov maybe by the end of the year and but this is i told you it's only possibly do an external illustration of something more serious we could have an outbreak of something else russian opposition leader lexan abounding has been detained again in moscow ahead of a pre election rally here as his supporters to a

after the who these as well as there are supporters of people who support the former president ali abdullah saleh that that question of access is key because that's the only way to really determine whether or not there were enemy targets that the coalition for example was going after or whether it was simply engaging in a kind of terror campaign in order to get people to not side with the who these or with those who support the former president there's also the question of how much how seriously their work is going to be taken because this isn't a normally carried out process and so it may not have the legal weight that would be necessary if for example there were a decision in the human rights council to try to set up some sort of formal or make a reference or make a referral for a formal court process in order to try to hold people who violate those international laws accountable for their behavior so those are two real problems and then of course there is the assumption that there will be cooperation with the yemeni government but of course that remains to be seen what people promised to

engaged in the civil war whether there's going to be any cooperation from the former president ali abdullah saleh as well as from the who these who have been fighting the government of president hadi for control of yemen and there are going to be questions about whether this group since it's a hybrid group and i don't know that it really is a legally. viable entity whether its recommendations will hold any legal weight for the human rights council those questions still need to be worked out but if they hadn't come to this compromise the saudis were prepared to withhold funding from the human rights council and not let this work go forward at all thanks very much reza in jordan with all the latest on this story from the united nations i still says it carried out a suicide bombing that targeted a mosque in the afghan capital at least five people were killed and twenty nine others wounded in attack a struck as worshippers left the shia mosque after friday prayers in central kabul afghanistan has faced a series of large scale attacks in recent months targeting the minority shia population when
