it seems that we've lost that skype connection we're trying to get back to is what a back if we can later in the program but we'll leave it there and move on because the calcium is still going on in some of those closely fought us mid-term election races in arizona the release of over one hundred thousand previously uncounted ballots saw a democrat kirsten sinema move into a nine thousand vote lead early a republican latham externally had been leading by more than seventeen thousand votes they said they were wins it'll be the first time in three decades that the state has elected a democrat tough but the votes are still to be counted across the state. yes democrats have also about the divergence of hearings in the house of representatives to investigate double transfer legal attorney general jeff sessions q strength of tried to abide by but bill as investigation into russian battling in the twenty sixteen election it a lot of democrats wrote that trump's decision threatens a rule of law and places that they should be in the throes of a constitutional crisis the white house denies the alle

bring in some she's a yemeni analyst and visiting fellow at georgetown university and joins us via skype from washington d.c. some of the trump administration and the saudis both now say they've stopped the refueling of saudi warplanes operating over yemen so what impact is this going to have on the ground and what prompted this u.s. action do you think. what prompted this u.s. action is probably a create emptive step to what's about to happen in congress we just had elections here in washington d.c. and it seems that a lot of the senators and congress men and women who want want to see an end for the war at me and men and what we're seeing here is in a sense. the u.s. removing itself from the situation of what's happening in yemen of course it's not going to slow down or end the war in yemen and might slow it down just a bit but you know all the capacity and everything that's being run right now is saudi managed i think it's a clear message that the u.s. no longer wants to be publicly supporting this war that said that they would like to see the war and for peace talks to begin ok so i

director of the middle east security program at the center for new american security joins us via skype from washington thank you very much for speaking to us so that now appears to be fears that this flare up in fighting could lead to a broader escalation or at least a miscalculation on either side. saying that diplomatic initiatives might be able to stop both sides from be able to pull the situation back from the brink. i hope so and this is thanks for having me this is a very concerning situation and the reason it's not surprise that we're here again is you can see you know how these diplomatic initiatives but they're only look at short term solutions for the last few years and have the same unseen unhealthy cycle going on in gaza where hamas uses violence to try to put pressure on israel to change its behavior and israel responds by imposing an economic blockade on the people of gaza pressure builds inside gaza and eventually it explodes into a broader conflict that by both parties try to contain it by coming up with these short term deals where a mascot some economic benefits of is

is a lecturer in international relations at lancaster university he joins us on skype from right now simon maybe on the face of it midair refueling doesn't seem like a particularly big deal from a technological point if you will from a military point of you i guess but does it chime with other potential changes to the choreography of the conflict in yemen. yeah i think so and i think that human rights going up the developments in washington next week we need to contextualize this within the context of what's happened with jamal khashoggi as you've just been covering and i think that rob that the this being a technological or strategic development it's perhaps more of a sim balik development suggesting that the climate in washington is quickly turning against saudi arabia and that there's a great deal of concern that what saudi is doing in yemen the saudi look coalition of course and i think that this this also builds on some of the comments that we've heard from from a number of prominent visuals calling for a cease fire is calling for peace to books and i think when you start to put
