there were 55 of us all told who toveled from riyadh to muska abu dhabi. this itinerary planned quite a long time ago. it was meant to reflect change that is going on in a very small area, when you think about it. three very different countries. undergoing their own internal change, especially visible in terms of the transformation that is underway in saudi arabia, but it is not alone in having a process of the mystic change. each of whom is -- domestic change. byh of whom is governed their geography in which they said, that has a powerful determining factor for their regional strategy and foreign policy. i will say, mostly some words about saudi arabia but a word about oman. i will not say much about oman and the way that we were unfortunately there are over a weekend but we did have the opportunity to meet a wide variety of all money officials omanio see -- variety of officials and see the difference in the structure between say oman and riyadh. where you sit determines were you stand. is -- theor an policy oman foreign policy a starkly different from th

do you attribute any political --lications to the arrest of the arrest in riyadh last week? >> maybe i can talk about optimism. i did not have a chance to see the u.s. ip panel. when it comes to saudi arabia, bruce is one of the smartest observers of the country. optimism mixed with pessimism. i think meeting with leaders in saudi arabia and ordinary people , you come away with a sense of sincerity. that there is a desire to transform the economy. desire to engage in real social reform. the same time, i think it would be foolish to underestimate the scale of the challenges saudi arabia in particular phrases. this movement from an oil to one whichnomy -- rvvate sector led hard-pressed to come up with an example of a country that has successfully done that. that challenge is there. some of the people we've met were realistic about the. i think doing that without any hint of political reform is is more difficult. you had this very smooth relatively some of succession process rather to brother. cap down to generation. we simply don't know if it will be asked moved. the jury is s

this isn't the first missile attack on saudi arabia in november the international airport in riyadh was narrowly missed in the strike the saudi government has accused regional rival iran of smuggling missile technology and allegation to run the knife. the war in yemen has created what the u.n. describes as the world's worst humanitarian crisis since the start of the conflict at least ten thousand civilians have been killed and millions are on the brink of famine and as the fighting continues many fear the situation on the ground could get worse. then military coalition of coalition fighting in yemen is being accused of killing at least one hundred and thirty six civilians and noncombatants in just ten days u.n. says they were killed by saudi ass strikes between the sixth and sixteenth of december the only in only the incidents that he was able to verify the number of civilians killed could be higher one attack involved seven astronauts are present last week where forty five detainees were killed and the u.n. has once again warned that yemen is facing the world's worst humanitarian crisi

i thank you dr riyadh in multi before jordan's like to thank you for somalia who attend for the first time the. we've been listening to the imagine succession of the arab league foreign ministers in cairo first of all we heard from the arab league general secretary secretary general indeed who did talk about how this decision moving in jerusalem the capital of israel to jerusalem had been in a dangerous decision and then we heard from the palestinian foreign minister who really repeated much of what it said earlier on in a press conference was talking about how he had been offered the support of many nations all over the world in that fight basically against this decision by the americans we're going to bring in our senior political analyst marwan. really first of all your reaction to what the secretary general was saying earlier on making his point that both the u.s. and israel have been isolated by this decision yes. this is a then important nuance to be made here in what i heard from. the secretary general there a big his main statement was is that this and their minds are of confi

and some of his followers or all his waterworks and riyadh and i would be lost an ally or a potential ally in this i think everyone lost today and certainly yemen has been a losing streak now for three four years. a regional problem if you like which was identified from the perspective of the saudis and the coalition that they built was the fact that they had a very strong they would say but movement on their border that remains with the. empowered to see movement now in charge of much of northern yemen so the conflict will go along yes and i think unfortunately it will it will go on you know there is a bit of a power vacuum at the moment we'll be seeing continued bloodshed. and you know i mean the role of international actors has quite frankly just been very detrimental in yemen at the same time the role of international actors remains very important you know there are so many many former politicians former ministers former judges that are outside of yemen and so perhaps the international community such as the u.n. for example should help such actors sort of in the long term to try a

is that this missile that was fired at riyadh airport was intercepted by a patriot missile. but there was no evidence of this on the body of the message that misses so you demonstrate it. put just to move the discussion on a little bit during the run in foreign minister tweeted this picture that we saw earlier making hayley alongside a picture of colin powell back in two thousand and three is there a feeling there in iran that we're sensing a similar build up to what we saw before the iraq invasion. i think this is a feeling that not only you have been to one you have all over the world. and i just see republican president that has no limitations in terms of playing with evidence or intelligence he is said to cause difficulties for iran and if the international community does not stop him he would have and the iraq war in your hand the only difference is that iran is not iraq iran is able to defend itself and it's going to be a very difficult war so the best thing that watching this program is interested in these matters is to basically put pressure on the united states who

the november fourth attack on the riyadh airport is one of the many clashes between the saudi backed government and who the rebels trying to conquer the country and the attack is mentioned in the u.n. secretary general's latest report on iran's compliance with the nuclear deal but officials say that mention is not a confirmation there's no conclusive evidence about the provenance of those missiles but you can read the report for yourself even before the press conference was over the iranians were jacked it haley's charges these accusations seek also to cover up for the saudi war crimes in yemen with the u.s. complicity and divert international and regional attention from the stalemate war of aggression against the yemenis that has so far killed more than ten thousand civilians displaced three million crippled yemen's infrastructure and health system and pushed the country to the brink of largest famine the world has seen for decades as the un has warned the swedish ambassador to the un told reporters he is concerned the u.s. is trying to find new reasons to scrap the iran nuclear dea

meanwhile britain a top arms supplier to saudi arabia says riyadh has no excuse for cutting access to humanitarian aid in yemen the statement came from the u.k.'s international development secretary penny more don't it is where it clear that if you're using starvation as a weapon you are in breach of international humanitarian law i very much understand the strategic importance of our relationship with saudi arabia but we do not help that relationship by not speaking about the facts of the matter if the route to be a breach of international humanitarian law that would put that relationship into difficulty. which and also plans to send fifty million pounds in eight to yemen putting the total u.k. help for this the next year at two hundred five million but that pales in comparison with the volume of u.k. omphale to saudi arabia since the start of the conflict britain sold more than four billion pounds worth of weapons to riyadh. should be allowed from the stop the war coalition thinks the only way it can really help yemen is to stop selling weapons to saudi arabia when saudi arabia star
