for joining us on al-jazeera i want to start by asking you thank you for whether you believe martin griffiths can succeed where others have failed. yes so it depends on what we are considering success at this point you know before we have to un and boys who try to mediate peace all the peace negotiations kind of failed especially if you look at it. as a negotiation that involves every single actor who is involved in the conflict we fail to bring them together and to kind of talk about potential cease fires that hold in place the don't fall apart within two weeks but i think when it comes to martin griffith the bar for success is different the bar for success now is to prevent a humanitarian crisis it is to allow whomever is in charge of the airport of son of a son ah the airport of data and the port of data to kind of allow the access of planes humanitarian aid and commercial goods and so in that regard what we're getting right now up to date as it seems that the day the airport fighting has finished is that the arab coalition with its local allies have managed to secure the airport now marti

not to the other bank in our den and this is another issue in this discussion between id and martin griffith today in ad ok let's take it to. the bigger percentage of these child deaths comes down to air attacks it's an air campaign are we saying that this is just dance three collateral damage or a. the locations where these children are being targeted. well i mean there have been multiple reports already you know stating that these are you know reckless indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas and i mean in terms of this report and the death toll affecting children as a result of these airstrikes this this this figure this over five hundred children who have who have died as a result is is just a tiny fraction of the vast atrocities that yemeni children have suffered it's not just death by airstrikes it's death by cholera it's that by starvation you know other you know other atrocities being suffered by children the psychological trauma of this war so while reports such as such as this one are extremely important and they should continue they only really reflect a very tiny fraction of the

yemen and voice martin griffiths is it likely that they will prevent or of the destruction in the data i'd say if anyone's going to get this done it would be martin group the guy has a great group experience he's already despite being quite new in the job built a degree of trust report the hutus and their allies and the opposing side. but let's be honest you've got to be clear this is an uphill battle the trust between. the opposing side the yemeni government and its allies has never been. been lower. that being said there is a possibility of particularly considering the potential international support that that some sort of deal with death there is still a possibility that this this may end up be operating although obviously it's going to be quite a difficult task what is the best outcome we can hope for i mean the best outcome would be a deal in which the who it is withdrawal from or data which is structured in such a way to pave the way for for upcoming upcoming talks which griffiths has been quite keen. on holding which has been working to sort of kick off for the past few months b
