course all the time in the security council in the me i'm our government is supported by china is protected by china. you know it has been and that i mean sadly the structure of the u.n. security council is such that people can have this abuse in detail. waited waited protect their vassals in different parts of the works so there it is important the pressure is applied don't china to china understand that you know having a situation like this on its own zones that it isn't acceptable and actually will undermine its own regional interests after all in which it has already dismissals a deterioration in you know this or relationship or it's the plans it had in the region for its relationship with bangladesh this will cost them i mean after all we do have the other end routes in that the i.c.c. has taken on the crime of laws transfer of population that i mentioned earlier there have been targeted sanctions imposed by certain countries and the u.s. is not to challenge doesn't that then. it would be more encouraging in others that so it's very important that other countries you know not allow the manometry to be treated as some have a respectable statesman when he joined a

u.n. security council. sanctions and the idea it was to always like keep a dalek going and one of the direct results of the normandy format has been for some of the means agreement which still hasn't brought any results in the crisis itself but of course it's a channel to keep dialogue and to give diplomatic efforts in this crisis going question however is if there's going to be new sanctions coming from the united nations how this will work out together with this diplomatic format you know it's a very good point to maximally for fickleness story corps here in berlin thank you . for britain's prime minister is urging lawmakers from all parties to support the brig's a deal that she agreed with the european union on sunday speaking before her parliament recently warned skeptical lawmakers of the unknown consequences of not read of on britain's withdrawal of the old from the e.u. lawmakers are now due to vote on the recently as planned on december eleventh. we can back this do you deliver on the voters a refer

console dissolution because the un security council resolution two two three one approved a rainy and nuclear deal and the united states is the on the only member of u.n. security council to be drawn unilaterally and to violate the sanctions and the second fact is the are there members of permanent member of united nations security council russia china europe they are yours to defend and to support the u.n. resolution and the uranium nuclear deal as you say russia and china said they're going to ignore the united states to resume the also said u.k. companies should take advantage of business ties with iran and britain will try and protect business relations with iran what do you make of the u.n. security council response this is really far beyond the u.k. business this is an international issue or a member of united nations security council is punishing the are there members for implementation of the nuclear deal you know for the implementation of u.n. security council second definitely this is a big more meant for you or your to prove it is really independent and can be independent from us pressures its territorial sanctions not only for europe but f

u.n. security council meetings called together the ukraine nato council the as well as the normandy for that's germany france russia and ukraine the minsk agreement backers to condemn russia's actions so far great britain has condemned russia's actions nato has called on russia to immediately release the seize the vessels of the three vessels that are here impounded in kutch as well as the two dozen sailors that have been arrested ukrainian sailors as i say it all happened here in qatar earlier today we managed to film the vessels themselves impounded off the yesterday's desperate chase. russia remains adamant that ukraine violated international law specifically the un convention of one thousand nine hundred eighty two when the law of the sea which prohibits navigation through territorial waters in this case the waters surrounding the strip the strait of. when the area is restricted when territorial waters are restricted at all of the times navigation ease is allowed so any third country. third party country can freely travel through the territorial waters of any other country unless those ter

u.n. security council has held two emergency sessions one requested by russia and the at that by ukraine. has more details so there were two emergency meetings of the u.n. security council not one the meetings were called regarding the situation in the current strait now at this point the first meeting was called by russia and western countries did not approve of the agenda items so it was not adopted the agenda was not adopted there was then a second meeting called on behalf of ukraine now the representative of russia spoke at the first session when he spoke he accused western partners of behaving like overgrown toddlers essentially by quibbling over resolutions and not simply working to resolve the crisis furthermore he pointed out that the provocative actions of the ukraine are coming as a ukrainian presidential election approaches and he pointed out that poroshenko needs to boost his ratings to put those in persian goes ratings are extremely low to the elections not so far away so how do you hold onto power he really needs a serious exacerbation of the situation in a war that necessary

u.n. security council resolution lifted sanctions and made sure that trade with iran in numerous areas was now legitimate and was no longer under u.n. security council resolution sanctions now the interim administration is saying we don't care about the u.n. security council resolution even though it passed fifteen to zero and even though the u.s. voted in favor of it and now we're going to impose sanctions on anyone who trades with iran even though that trade now is internationally seen as illegal what does this mean. does that mean anything midterms wise i mean i feel the midterms that coming up have been sort of overshadowed by the so-called migrant caravan is this part of the part of the broader mid-term picture as well. in the reverse i would say. guess we'll never know the answer to that one because we lost our link to trita parsi i'm just keeping an eye on the screens there now still very much for those and they want to share in those trita parsi from the national iranian american council there now the u.s. and turkey have announced they've lifted rival sanctions that each country h

security council. so what we have seen so far in the u.n. security council is a sort of an exchange of different use on what really happened in the current strayed we heard from a representative of the united nations saying that they are still trying to verify what really happened there but that the body is deeply concerned about the incidents and then we also heard from the russian ambassador to the and saying that it is ukraine that it is too plain and dad's the international community is turning a blind eye on ukraine actions and that in fact that it's already minding the prestige of the e.u. and security council and russia went even so far as to blaine there ukrainian president of trying to organize provocations because. the russian ambassador to the and put it he's approval ratings are low but then of course we also heard from the you asked of message or to the united nations sneaky hailing saying that it was a reckless russian escalation of the situation there. in brussels talks about nato how alarmed a very about these developments. na

u.n. security council. she described western partners as behaving like overgrown toddlers however ukraine's action he also called you can sanctions a provocation and said that the linked to presidential elections in the country those presidential elections are taking place in march of next year however ukraine's meeting had support from other western countries and the discussions in terms of what happened there with that this was a russian act of aggression and the this was to do with the annexation of crimea let's take a listen to some of the discussions at the u.n. security council meeting. russia decided to prevent passage of the ukrainian ships rammed them and then opened fire on them yesterday's action follows months of russian rassmann of international shipping in a series of nothing in our opinion justifies this use of force russia must immediately cease its unlawful conduct russia's actions must stop immediately. will come also being condemning russia's reactions in regard to that incident in the se

u.n. security council to discuss this matter you queen has also reached out to the security council pushing its view as to what happened but we've heard from nato we've heard from the european union which are urging for deescalation urging all sides involved to feel cooler heads to prevail to avoid doing anything rash. let's get reaction martin mccauley martin program now russia's foreign minister crania navy a product haitian designed to escalate the war in ukraine let's take a quick listen to what was said before we discuss. you know in the case of ukraine imposing martial law well knowing their habits even without martial law they repeatedly breach international humanitarian law was firing on residential areas killing civilians with martial law the radicals will feel free to do what they want we very strong the western sponsors to calm down those who try to gain political points at times of hysteria a major upcoming elections in ukraine. well so what we have say missing right is already throwing grenades and flares near the russian embassy of a night is it likely to create further escala

u.n. security council russian foreign minister sergei lavrov says he already knows this side west is going to take. talking about the actions we're going to take at the u.n. security council you know we don't have any illusions taking into account that the west has adopted a position of unconditional support for poroshenko and his regime yesterday's cools from the e.u. to both russia and ukraine to exercise restraint made a stink if they ask ukraine to do this it means that kiev has certainly done something that their western sponsors do not approve of i hope that the ukrainian authorities will draw certain conclusions from that. russia's federal security service claims the ships illegally entered russia's territorial waters where they carried out a dangerous artist broadcast reports from crimea. there are certain advantages to declaring martial law it isn't just the military that's involved all sorts of aspects of civilian life also affected for example it becomes illegal to protest against the government would also give the government complete censorship over the media but it will become

u.n. security council response this is really far beyond the u.k. business this is an international issue a member of the united nations security council is punishing the are there members for implementation of the nuclear deal you know for the implementation of u.n. security council second definitely this is a big moment for your op to prove it is really independent and can be independent from u.s. pressures a territorial sanctions not only for euro but for russia and china and said definitely this is an opportunity for you and your op to expand economic relations with iran are their wise i'm sure chinese russia and they would go ahead regardless of the u.s. sanctions the eastern powers they are not going to give a dime to unilateral decisions of united the state therefore if your up decides to continue decide to continue business with iran iran would be able to have a balance. economic trade relations with the east and west are there why is iran would go more and more toward the eastern bloc's just like with cuba or arguably in your latest piece y

u.n. security council meeting today could that defuse this escalating situation. well there has been speculation we might see some kind of relatively rapid to monetary and solution maybe even some early release of those ukrainian sail as the ships but that doesn't take away the underlying problem that david mentioned that all of this conflict over control of the sea of as all of the russians de facto control access to the sea specially since they built the bridge over the strait and this is something that is why did the crimea this is also about eastern ukraine the ukrainian controlled politic don't bass is economically dependent on those ports in the sea of as over tens of thousands of jobs at risk if they see it as well becomes a military zone that is prone to these kind of conflicts so we could definitely be seeing tensions ratcheting up that a knock on effect beyond crimea nick thank you so much for that was nick connelly in moscow and in kiev david stern thanks to both of you. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today mexico has

security council sessions take us through what was said. while instead of having one meeting regarding the situation in the current strait instead. we are having to do emergency sessions of the u.n. security council the first meeting was called by russia the second one called on behalf of ukraine now during the first meeting we did hear from the representative of russia he accused the forces in the security council the western partners of essential acting like overgrown toddlers and focusing on which resolutions to vote for calling a different meeting and not really focusing on resulting the tension and resolving the situation furthermore he argued that essentially the provocative actions from ukraine serve a political purpose for the president of ukraine and and hoping to essentially boost his ratings in the eyes of the west and this is the russian representative at the security council. to put this in persian goes ratings are extremely low due to the elections not so far away so how do you hold on to power who seem really needs a serious exacerbation of the situation in daily a war the necessary next portion of the anti russian drug so that people in the country believe that a

u.n. security council meeting and the question are russia and ukraine headed for the u.s. as u.n. ambassador has accused russia of committing an outrageous violation of ukraine's sovereignty on sunday russia seized several ukrainian naval vessels near the disputed crimean peninsula moscow says that it was provoked by and just about an hour ago the ukrainian parliament voted to impose martial wall inside the country. a clash at sea causing waves of international concern a russian military ship rams into a ukrainian tugboat off the coast of crimea. the vessel was then fired at and captured by the russians along with two other ships and dozens of ukrainian sailors several of whom were injured. the united nations security council held an emergency meeting where western countries accused russia of stoking the already deadly war with ukraine what we witnessed this weekend is yet another reckless russian escalation it is an arrogant act that the international community must condemn and will never accept in response russia's representative said the ukrainian ship had violated its territor

u.n. security council meeting that scheduled for a couple of hours' time. well obviously most likely the united states and the european union will be on the side of ukraine in this dispute there is little doubt about that but i think the main challenge is not in new york the main challenge is in ukraine because obviously president poroshenko is blunder in introducing martial law because of this situation i think he will face a lot of protests in his country because martial law is the only way. to avoid the next presidential elections scheduled for march two thousand and eight you know which he has almost zero chance of winning his ratings are very low so a lot of ukrainian phoenicians would suspect him of using this situation in order to introduce martial law and cancel the elections so i think this is the main intrigue now dimitri babich we thank you for speaking to us from moscow in uganda human rights activists want an independent inquiry into one of the country's worst mass killings two years ago security forces stormed a royal palace in the region and

u.n. security council met off the see saw i was announced but failed to agree on any action israel's ambassador to the u.n. says members must condemn what he called hamas is aggressive stops. we take action to protect our people and we continue to do that unfortunately danger there you have the hamas regime that they continue to dig tunnels they continue to think about ways to attack israel and we will continue to take any measure name measure necessary to protect our people regarding the future our approach is very clear if you do not be quiet in israel it will not be quiet in gaza and i think the hamas leaders know exactly what are the capabilities of these very i.d.f. and they know we can get to them even if they hide beneath tunnels and beneath hospitals well the palestinian ambassador to the u.n. is also urging the u.n. security council to take steps to end the violence we won the security council to shoulder its responsibility with regard to this situation threatening international peace and security and it is unfortunately the security council is paralyzed it did not show that its respon

u.n. security council had been warned about fresh problems breaking out in gaza and clearly is one the members of the u.n. security council talking at the u.n. clearly the warnings about fresh conflict and company climb landing it was the u.n. special court based in jerusalem and he was holding the ground. the u.n. secretary general he is also overnighting in paris because he. has a meeting with president macro in the morning so i think i can also tell you that there's a palestinian representative here well not clear to me at this stage because obviously i've only had a chance to make some calls whether the palestinians also open. now more than a body as a senior to shoot for palestine studies and he says the israeli raid comes at a crucial point until the question.

u.n. security council nevertheless that didn't stop the united states from following what it thought was its own national security interest and we all remember what happened in that in those circumstances and led to a lot of instability and chaos in the middle east and i think the same is true today i think the reason why for example european countries even the united kingdom for example and france and germany want to keep the nuclear deal is i think they understand that the nuclear deal is the multi lotro accord that how improve relations between iran and the west and it helps the stability in the middle east and we have to remember that the middle east today is in a very dire and very unstable and dangerous circumstance ok we're going to leave that discussion lavasoft apra professor of political science at the university of toronto for us coming to the program. in the past two years the war in yemen has claimed five times more lives than previously thought that's according to new research results fifty six thousand people have been killed and there are some british m.p.'s and losing patien

u.n. security council meanwhile donald trump has commented on the u.s. supplied bomb that killed forty children on a yemeni school bus in august he said that u.s. arms are not to blame but rather saudi misuse of. it wasn't operated by us people there's a big difference we don't do that our people are the best operators in the world that was basically people who didn't know how to use the weapon which is horrible i think it is by in-car and he said ok we are going to revise our policies in yemen but what does he mean by that is he going to stop arming so since the gun unit can prevent the size it is so this is the big question now if we are talking about peace i believe this is just up loike because now the tramp is busy with his sanctions against iran so maybe he would like to quote him the war and you're meant to put it in three only here on i don't believe this is actually will take any action for years and the continual from air sea from ground to targeting yemen is markets schools of hospitals so it seems he is buying time and he's trying to say beca

u.n. security council is actually going to china just over this weekend and i'm waiting to see if they're going to even mention anything about this or if they'll just go along for you know what looks like it could be tourism or something where they just follow the chinese government and narrative and look at shiny new cities and talk about development and peacekeeping while ignoring these massive rights abuses it's a huge opportunity but it's also huge risk. so as we look forward to what to do next we got this from world leader con congress who says the u.n. security council will visit china this week and it's essential that they raise this issue as a matter of peace and security their silence will speak volumes i don't i'll give you the last word there in just about thirty seconds as we wrap up the show yes i just want to add that if governments are staying silent then at least people can go onto the streets and mobilize and you know educate themselves raise awareness because the issue here is a lot of people don't know what's happening and a lot of people aren't taking action and and if

u.n. security council there were two meetings called at the u.n. security council one by kiev and one boy moscow the russian meeting was not adopted and russia's representative went on to describe western allies reacting like overgrown toddlers and suggested that the reaction by ukraine this action was actually related to presidential elections which. take place next year now at the ukrainian meeting which was supported by western allies the discussion there was about what they said was russian aggression also discussion of what they view as being the an extension of crimea let's get a flavor now of that meeting. russia decided to prevent passage of the ukrainian ships rammed them and then opened fire on them yesterday's action follows months of russian harassment of international shipping in a series of nothing in our opinion justifies this use of force russia must immediately cease its unlawful conduct russia's actions must stop immediately. well a lot of aggressive comments in regards to russian condemnation of russia's action coming from members

u.n. security council. to water apartment terry interstate i warning for the british prime minister just hours after she signs the brakes that deal with the e.u. . mexico takes action against asylum seekers who it says violently tried to cross the u.s. border. on the search continues for victims of uganda's latest ferry boat tragedy which has claimed more than thirty dollars. the u.n. security council will be meeting later on monday to discuss rising tensions between russia and ukraine off the coast of crimea where russia has fired at ukrainian ships when they were when they tried to cross a narrow passage in the sea of as of when russia says the ukrainian vessels were in its waters and it blocked their access to the strait well the strait in the sea of us of lies to the east of crimea which is under the control of pro russian separatists the ukrainian president has held an emergency meeting and is calling for drastic measures to deal with the crisis. martial law is introduced in order to strengthen ukraine

u.n. security council but this is an issue whether you u.n. security council can't take any action they've not been able to get any agreement not being able to get any real it resolution on the way forward and that's because of the position of the u.s. which of course has a veto and is prepared to use that vetoes show many times on the side of israel and the u.s. position is wait wait not just with regard to gaza but with regard to the whole israeli palestinian situation wait for the peace plan that's being drawn up by the president's son in law jared cushion and the world continues to wait but of course the situation gets more desperate james thanks very much. at least three people are dead and eight others injured after a suicide bombing in the afghan capital kabul a protest nearby has been taking place by hundreds of members of the zahra religious minority who are demanding action against recent violence against them. you are oh well the ethnic and religious minority in afghanistan has been subjected to generations of persecution last week t

u.n. security council had been warned about fresh breaking out in gaza and clearly is one the members of the u.n. security council talking at the u.n. clearly the warnings about fresh conflict and company climb who is the u.n. special court based in jerusalem and he was only ground. the u.n. secretary general he is also. in paris because he has a meeting with president macro in the morning so i think i can also tell you that there's a palestinian representative here in paris well not clear to me at this stage because obviously i've only had a chance to make some calls whether the palestinians will. open. maureen rabbani is a senior fellow at the institute for palestine studies and he says the israeli raid comes at a crucial point in talks between the israelis and palestinians the question that arises is what israel's motivations were suspect were they as so often in the past trying to give hamas a bloody nose just to remind them that they're in charge and they will decide the terms on which any cease fire is reached or a day perhaps by contrast trying to scuttle this cease fire initiative an

developments in recent hours the security council met late on choose a the overall position with regard to the peace process of course the last two years this is a u.n. security council that has been waiting for the united states for that peace plan from president trump son in law jared cushion and i'm beginning to detect behind the scenes there is growing impatience from those on the security council that the plan is not being announced and the situation is just getting worse just listen to the comments of two of the ambassadors as they were arriving this morning and these are two close allies of the u.s. i think we are under play under playing our own role a six security council on some issues and the world this is one of them. i think the security council a lot of people still look up to the council to take preventive action i don't think we've been managing to do that we have not been able to do that in this particular situation i think that needs to change i think the council would would very much like to see some concrete proposals and wants to get behind mr mlodinow of and support his moves on the ground obvious the very concerning what is ha

u.n. security council had been warned about fresh problem picked breaking out in gaza and clearly is one the members of the u.n. security council talking of the u.n. clearly the warnings about fresh conflict and company climb who is the u.n. special court based in jerusalem and he was the ground. the u.n. secretary general he is also overnighting in paris because he also has a meeting with president macro in the morning so i think and i can also tell you that there's a palestinian representative here in paris as well not clear to me at this stage because obviously i've only had a chance to make some calls whether the palestinians all. over this. ghazi hamad is a senior hamas official in the southern gaza strip and he told us that an israeli unit escaped to the border after the operation. well you know. there are also some of the one. which. you had or some collaborators tried to escape to go to these reporters but they are surrounded by full. brigades. that tried to cover. this guy the president or the soldiers. striking. so i think it was. actually we have about six people were killed. some

u.n. security council had been warned about fresh problem clicked breaking out in gaza and clearly is one of the problems members of the u.n. security council talking of the u.n. clearly the warnings about fresh conflicts of company climber who was the u.n. special court based in jerusalem and he was holding the ground for. the u.n. secretary general he is also overnighting in paris because he has a meeting with president macro in.

u.n. security council the. ukraine nato council the other organizations such as the normandy for trying to get the message across that this is all russian aggression and russia says that it has no illusions as to the reactions. talking about the actions we're going to take at the u.n. security council you know we don't have any illusions taking into account that the west has adopted a position of unconditional support. and his regime but yesterday's calls from the e.u. to both russia and ukraine to exercise restraint may just think crane to do this it means that kiev has certainly done something that their western sponsors do not approve of i hope that the ukrainian authorities will draw certain conclusions from that. to go back to what happened yesterday this incident that took place the russian version is that ukraine violated its territorial waters it all routes back to the one nine hundred eighty. two un convention on the law of the sea which allows countries third parties third countries to sail through to

u.n. security council meeting in new york on this topic kristensen learn may is their first kristen tell us what you've been hearing about the syrian meeting so far. well we've been hearing the dueling narratives inside the security council chamber from the russians on the one hand and ukraine and its backers on the other the russian deputy ambassador dmitri polonsky spoke earlier and he basically accused the ukraine of violating its borders in entering the current strait saying that the ukrainian ships did not follow procedures that they had been following prior to this and he went so far as calling their actions a provocation cynically done by the president petro poroshenko to regain popularity in the face of upcoming elections the u.s. and european members of the security council for their part made it clear that their support for ukraine is ongoing and will they will continue to stand with the ukraine u.s. ambassador nikki haley started her remarks by saying that she had spoken to president trump and secretary of state mike pompei o s making it clear that the administration was behind t

u.n. security council really rounded on russia is surprising for you. well it doesn't surprise me that the united nations. is not very deliberative it's supposed to be a deliberative body but. everyone has rushed to judgment without being able to examine the facts of the situation. i think there is some possibility that both sides were asserting rights obviously now that crimea is part of russia. russia needs to assert its sovereignty at the same time there is a two thousand and three treaty that still is in effect that allows ukraine to to trance it through this very important strait and so to some extent i think perhaps it is possible that the ukrainians were also trying to assert their rights under that treaty so so both sides may have a certain amount of merit to their claims yes and as you say that it feels that the claims to be made by both sides you would think that that would lead to some kind of deliberation he said that's what the security council should be that what you think they will listen to the information put across by russia as to what

u.n. security council will discuss in a couple of hours time a draft resolution to end the conflict in yemen do you feel that this could push the warring parties to make last minute gains and how would that complicate your work on the ground. well we don't hope it doesn't as he said is trash can on the ground in her data it's very difficult we've seen over the last few days hospital destroyed we've seen an increasing number of civilians and children being killed because of the fighting and those numbers increasing in terms of being injured. today that is a lifeline for the north of the country where much needed lifesaving cruden fuel but humanitarian commercial are needed so no we hope that indeed the resolution brings the parties to the table to seek a lasting solution to this conflict and we hope that with you but if there is no break in the fighting what does it mean for your work will you be able to continue . well already that the situation on the ground is very difficult between fighting blockade to be received for us to be able to access the people we need to access with lifesaving se

u.n. security council and that it wasn't part of the o.p.c. w.'s mandate to do what the united kingdom is suggesting. our position on the proposal made in june is that in darwin the w. with functions it's never been meant to have would constitute an infringement on the u.n. security council spar our firm would believe that lehmann tribulation is not provided for in the convention for the prohibit of chemical weapons. well the united kingdom has accused russia of trying to slow down the process of getting their proposal through saying that they using false claims that this is an infringement upon the work of the o.p.c. w. . the decision in front of us today and it speaks very clear. to me undermine what was agreed and by suggesting it was not complied with the convention is simply not true. it is a proposal which is clearly designed to obstruct until a implementation of the decision which was supported by eighty two states and she will russia isn't alone in not agreeing with the u.k. proposal china is also saying that this isn't power that the o.p.

u.n. security council and we'll stand on that. >> i have a question about -- you mentioned the turkish leader who has been critical of the u.s. position. can you condition firm that will affect the relations with the u.s. ally. and to follow up, the audio intelligence of the killing of khashoggi, have you heard the tape and does it conclusively point to the crown prince and one final one, the -- >> am i supposed to remember all these? >> i'll prompt you. finally, is it true the white someone from ng that?ng to senators about john: no i haven't listened to it. herbed ask you, what do you think i would learn from it? . i thought you'd have access john. speak arabic. unless you speak arabic what are you going to get from it? the president has spoken to our position on this issue. he's spoken very clearly and that sour position. tell me the other questions? john: the man in the back. >> they captured suspects last eek, brazil got a photo of that, also the sanctions blocking the formation of the new government, help me put all this together, is it going to be in the g-20? john: i expect in the bil

u.n. security council have been warned about which is fresh problem clicked breaking out in gaza and clearly is one of the problem members of the u.n. security council talking of the u.n. clearly the warnings about fresh public company climb out and all that was the u.n. special coordinator based in jerusalem and he was only ground for. the u.n. secretary general he is also overnighting in paris because he also has a meeting with president macro in the morning so i think and i can also tell you. there's a palestinian representative here. in paris well not clear to me at this stage because obviously i've only had a chance to make some calls whether the palestinians also are here over in paris but clearly paris will be the focus i think to early morning meetings release a palace between the israeli prime minister and then one hour later the u.n. secretary general both for meetings with the french president ok well for now thank you very much the diplomatic editor joining in paris. well now i want to bring you another story we've been covering tonight agencies warning that the ebola outbreak in

u.n. is also in the security council to take steps to end the violence we want the security council to shoulder its responsibility with regard to this situation threatening international peace and security and it is unfortunately the security council is paralyzed it did not sure that it's the responsibility nevertheless we will keep knocking on the door of the security council to shoulder its responsibility i hope the efforts by our brothers in egypt of having the cease fire to be put in place that will hold the u.s. republican senator lindsey graham has described as crown prince mohammed bin as unstable and unreliable he says he and other senators are discussing sanctions against riyadh in the wake of the saudi journalist killing on a resolution to cut off all assistance to riyadh for the war in yemen could also happen in weeks the senate has asked the secretary of state mike pompei of the defense secretary jim mattis and the cia director to give a briefing this month about yemen and about the murder of jamal khashoggi and her simmons with more now from istanbul. the political dimension to thi
