it's unclear if they or the saudis will be ready to compromise. 0rla guerin, bbc news, sana'a.mer us ambassador to yemen, stephen seche. thanks forjoining me. my pleasure. is it possible to have peace in yemen right now, is anyone listening to america's calls for a cease—fire? iam not to america's calls for a cease—fire? i am not sure the bristol parties of the conflict are listening carefully. i think they're both hoping it at the moment to claim victory and walk away. but that is still yet to be seen. what we are true right now is trying to set up urgency but needs to be supported by influence on our part but... the state department says that climate has changed, what changed?” state department says that climate has changed, what changed? i am not sure we know. there has been this terrible latest un report about anotherfamine terrible latest un report about another famine or another level of famine about to exist in yemen. we have seen the suffering grow exponentially which is terrible and heartbreaking and that hasn't been enough thus far. maybe the saudis 110w enough thus f

it's unclear if they or the saudis will be ready to compromise. 0rla guerin, bbc news, sana'a.iband, the former labour politician and current head of the ngo called the international rescue committee, welcomed the calls for a ceasefire. here is what he has to say. this american move is a chink of light in a very dark tunnel. 14 million people are on the brink of famine in yemen, and it's imperative that the british government break out of their inertia, notjust call for a ceasefire, but table a resolution at united nations security council and initiate practical measures to alleviate the suffering and stop the geopolitical catastrophe that is being created in yemen. i think the american move has been driven by frustration with the failure of the war strategy. four years too late, they've realised that bombing civilians is not going to win a war. i think it's also important that the khashoggi murder has highlighted the abuse of power at the heart of the international order and raised profound questions for the us about its ally the saudi arabians. it's very worrying that the bri

we were in the capital sana'a. we managed to go to the red sea port.orces are firing rockets across the border to saudi arabia. we particularly wanted to go to sa'dah because there was an strike there two months ago which hit a bus full of schoolchildren. it was a waste that the saudi—led coalition initially said was a legitimate military target, that our military commanders on board. they were involved in recruiting child soldiers. eventually, after an international outcry, it apologised for what it called collateral damage. but i can tell you that collateral damage was these 42 schoolboys. and we went to their school. we saw the empty desks. the headmaster said to us, so and so sat here, so and so sat there, he was my brightest student. the boys were telling us about their friends who were gone. we met the fathers, showing us pictures of their children. including one man who explained to me that there was almost an argument in the morgue between parents who were saying that they could recognise bodyparts of their children so they would have something
