earlier we spoke to andrea st who's an assistant professor in defense studies at kings college in london he told us both saudi arabia and the u.a.e. have been accused of war crimes before it's not the first time we have now a very long string of different reports from international independent watchdog. and different n.g.o.s who basically document how the u.a.e. and saudi arabia have conducted their military operations in the countries that we have a long list of different war crimes that were committed but apart from the war crimes that happened in operation we have these allegations which i think are very very plausible and are very credible about how they use a network of dark black sites that are actually extrajudicial prison sides where people are being detained tortured and apparently even killed this is not something completely new i mean the u.a.e. run similar camps within their own countries and we've seen since two thousand and eleven there has been a purge of opposition and political people who are close to political islam people who've also been subjected to torture detention

st also backlash here. >> amy choe talks with some people withisabilities abo how this ban could affect their lives. >> i actually have startedrr ying straws with me. >> reporter: before andrea, she haake sure her wheelchair is well-stocked with straws. she h muscular dystrophy which causes muscle weakness. >> this is as far a i c get it into my mouth. if it weren't for the straw, i wouldn't beble to drink it. >> reporter: she's started everw dayith a starbucks for years, but she says the news of the ban on their plastic straws haswaeen hard toow. >> i'm having to fight for something as simple as straws i think is just i-s ridiculous. it impedes and impacts our ability to live our fullest lives. >> the coffee giant puttingte o a snt that said, starbucksl offers and w continue to offer straws to customers o who ne request them in our stores. sttbucks' recent announcem about straws will not impact the ability of those who need straws to access them. we don't't say that care about the environment either. >> amy is a lawyer with the national disability rights network. they're triesing to raise awareness on the issue. i think the reason why people with doibisabilities are so ups.
