that offer still stands, and we are prepared to work with the united nations special envoy martin griffiths right now in iran, and i will be seeing him tomorrow and i will explain this to him. the reason that offer did not fly was that the crown prince of saudi arabia believed and he informed the united states at that time that they could win in three weeks. we're talking about april 2015. we are getting to the sixth year, and they are not even any closer to winning. so it's best for the united states to show some tough love to its allies and tell them to stop this atrocity. they have never been in yemen. people have tried for the past 1,000 years. outsiders have tried to conquer yemen and they have failed. saudi arabia will fail, too. they should not look for an accomplice or a culprit. it is an attempt to use force against a people of a country in their own country. we are prepared to do everything we can to bring this worst humanitarian catastrophe in many years to a close, and we will work with the united nations and i will continue tomorrow with martin griffith. >> before i let you go

. >>> now, earlier i spoke to sian griffiths an emeritus professor at the chinese university of hongo led the inquiry into the 2003 sars outbreak. he asked her how worried she was about those new variants. >> basically the idea is if we can get the level of transmissions as low as possible in the community that the variants will not cause any issues. so although they are worrying and we saw in the uk, we saw in the november/december, we saw the sudden rise of the uk kent variant which is much more transmissible, that alerted us to the need for genomic sequencing to watch out for other variants. we have seen about 100 cases of the south african variant in the uk and the public health response has been to really clamp down on this, to stop this more transmissible disease from increasing because we have already had experience of one variant that sort of got away so to speak. so the south african variant wherever there is a case in the uk then the local authorities will do -- in england they're doing mass surge testing, they're testing the local community to see if there are any other ca
