mike hanna joins us from there and mike how much pressure if any will this report put on the u.s. administration to actually take a lead in this. well certainly nic it's going to ratchet up pressure between congress and the trump administration congress has been attempting to block any arms sales to saudi arabia for example because of its involvement in the war in yemen and because of its human rights record including the murder of jamal khashoggi now congress has passed a series of laws blocking arms sales for example however president trump has vetoed these laws he's gone even further in fact and he's declared an emergency in order to circumvent congress to put through an 8000000000 dollars arms bill to solve the now this is absolutely infuriated congress they indeed have struck back there are some 22 resolutions in congress waiting to go blocking u.s. relations with saudi arabia so certainly this is going to ratchet up the tension between the administration and congress congress absolutely insistent that there must be accountability a potion for the murder of jamal khashoggi no

probably a lot more talk than anything more concrete right now in jordan thank you very much mike hanna is following events for us at united nations what's the reaction been there. well certainly the whole issue has dominated the day's session of the u.n. security council at present there's a closed door meeting going on and i'm sure jeweled meeting precisely to discuss these attacks in the gulf but throughout the day this has been absolutely dominant there was a session in the morning which was a discussion about cooperation between the league of arab nations and the u.n. and during that most of the speakers referred to the day's news including at the secretary general of the league of arab nations this is what he had to say as he thought a lot of healthier men who got bells on in the these dangerous developments must compel the security council to act against those responsible to maintain the security and stability of the region mr president some parties in the region are trying to instigate fires in our region and we must be aware of that. when although it is these attacks that will
