try to open the way to peace failed at the united nations security council. the main body responsible for protecting international peace and security once again proved incapable of performing this task. ladies and gentlemen, yes, the general picture in the middle east is not very promising. but there are also reasons for being hopeful and to be optimistic optimistic, as well. look at the political process in tunisia. this country shows us that the political solution is possible to the problems faced by the countries in transition. the tunisian people deserve our full support and solidarity. we are also very pleased with the political understanding reached between the p5 plus 1 and iran. we always advocated diplomacy as the only possible option for a solution to the issue of iran's nuclear program. that is why we hope that the ongoing negotiations result in a comprehensive agreement by the end of june this year. we are ready to offer our active support to the process. we also hope that the final -- issue might motivate our iranian neighbors and brothers to fac

russia proposed a number of measures in the united nations security council. first, a demand that the u.n. is given rapid, safe is unhindered access to ensure people in need are released. and to allow countries and international organizations to evacuate citizens from yemen. there were meetings on saturday night to discuss the russian proposal and another by the g.c.c. members, aiming at a political solution. >> we should not forget the root causes and conditions leading to the counter situation, and humanitarian situation in yemen is due to the failure of the implementation of resolution 2201 by the houthis. there was no lull in the fighting across yemen. the houthis managed to retake positions they lost earlier. they fried i'm mates -- freedom inmates. all signs on the ground that a military solution to the conflict is still far from certain >>> i.s.i.l. has taken control of the yarmouk refugee camp outside damascus. it is full of palestinian refugees. i.s.i.l. joined with fighters from the al nusra front to take the camp. al nusra front is affiliated with a

i think they'll take it seriously, and an indicator of what is going back in the united nations security council, that perhaps the resolution, it was supported openly by the americans. i am sure that the russians have in reconstituting their positions and relating to the activity the visit of the iranian foreign minister today to pakistan as well as the former visit of the president to iran and yesterday's visit by the minister of interior the saudi minister to turkey. the set up is moving towards a climax. a confrontation or the rainies will have to -- iranis will have to advise of a pull back >>> now, there is a renewed diplomatic push to establish a humanitarian corridor from syria's yarmouk rev dee camp. the camp on the outskirts of damascus has been overrun by fighters. it's been under a siege for two years and there's a shortage of food water or electricity. some escaped. but aid agencies say 16,000 remain mostly palestinian refugees. >>> two car bombs killed two in aleppo the first suicide near a rebel base in syria. activists have blamed i.s.i.l. for attacking fighters from a rebel group

on the diplomatic front the united nations security council has been meeting to meet an iran proposal to allow aid to get in and for the evacuation of foreigners. let's look more closely now at the draft resolution. the draft also calls for the regular pauses in the airstrikes to allow countries and international organizations to evacuate their citizens and personnel from yemen. it goes on to say that any impediment to humanitarian assistance would constitute a violation of international law. jordan's ambassador to the u.n. spoke moments ago and said they want to find a lasting political solution to the crisis. >> as you know, they have been engaged for some time on a draft resolution that deals with the political situation in yemen. we will continue our efforts to reach a consensus on that. we should not forget that the root causes and conditions bolton wanderers led to the current situation and humanitarian situation in yemen is due to the failure of the implementation of 201 by the houthies. >> we go to our political analyst manwar bashara. good afternoon. some resolution is desper

. >>> as you heard, the united nations security council considered a russian proposal for a pause in the air strikes so that humanitarian aid can get into the affected areas. the u.n. said more than 5-00 have been killed since the bombing campaign began a few weeks ago. more than 5,700 have been wounded. tens of thousands have been forced to take refuge across the see. a human rights activist and blogger - she left her home in aden joining us from the line. what's the situation right now? >> it is very peaceful and very calm. a mountainous area. there are no air strikes. in aden of course the security situation - there's air strikes every light literally. 3-5 air strikes targetting houthi areas and buildings. how close to the fighting. tell us about how you managed to get out of aden. >> only hours in the morning. usually the conflict it settled down between 8 and 10am. after that they had to take a car and zoom out from aden to where the houthi rebels are situated. it's reached to locations. you managed to get out of aden. what about the people that are still there. what are the con

. >> is the united nations security council failing right now? >> yes three humanitarian resolutions were passed so for the council to be effectively blocked, on united action for some time. the governments who make up the security council have ignored and failed to implement those resolutions. and the parties to the conflict continue to hammer civilians and block aid getting through. in fact, more people are now without humanitarian assistance there are 5 million people inside syria in areas that are hard to reach or completely besieged by troops. so that really sends a signal the situation got worse in spite of the resolution. we need to see government stopping from sending arms in to fuel the conflict and really try to drive the parties to the negotiating table. focusing on getting them to the business and putting an end to that fighting. >> how difficult has it been dealing with the syrian government? >> well, we work with the syrian government because we need to gain access to the country. so with the ministry of water resources to try to ge

there are sanctions imposed by the united nations security council, not as far reaching in terms of the economy and the european union decided to have also not any import of oil. so if there is a settlement now then i think for the iranians it's very important that the u.n. sanctions in the first play be lifted. because they see that as a sort of stigma as to placing them in a category of pariah in the world. >> dr. blix you know the prime minister of israel says you can't trust iran, so do members of congress and other leaders. how do you trust a country like iran? how do you verify that they're doing what they said they would do if there is an agreement? >> well, they have claimed all along that they have not been working to get a nuclear agreement, to get a nuclear weapon, and it's true that they have had a nuclear program that is over-dimension, that is too big for what they would need for simply producing electricity and light water reactors. this has raised suspicions. but you must remember that in the 1980s the united states was the country that tried to prevent iran from having

. >> in new york today the united nation security council is considering a resolution to stop the fighting. we have the latest. >> the resolution is backed by jordan in an aim to stop the fighting in yemen, which is the poorest country in the middle east. specifically it aims to stop weapons from getting to the houthis in yemen as well as to the country's former president and his son. here's exactly how they plan to do it, according to the draft. first, they demand the houthis immediately withdraw from the capital, sanna then they must give up all their weapons and stop acting like a government. they have to give up political prisoner. there's an asset freeze and travel ban on five houthi leaders. this can be enforced by the military. saudi-led air and ground campaigns against the houthis is now entering its third week. the wildcard in the security council could be russia, which has insisted that an arms embargo cover all parties not just the houthis but also supporters of the government. we will have more coming up in be our next hour. >> thank you. >> gunmen setting off bombs this mornin

they want any sanctions to have to come from a new united nations security council resolution where shea have a veto. that's another obstacle. it's complex. it's not just between two sides talking. the iranians on the side and p5+1 on the other. there are disagreements as to the best way forward. >> fascinating to watch how difficult this has been to get to a framework. and we have to remind our viewers this is a prelude to what potentially could be a final deal june 30th. matthew chance giving us the perspective from moscow. thanks. >>> of course, israel has steadfastly opposed the emerging deal and has suggested the u.s. could be threatened, as well. orrin lieberman joins us now from jerusalem with more on that. so orrin, syria's -- serious issues remain. if a preliminary draft agreement is reached, what's the likely reaction going to be from israel, and what has been the reaction so far? >> reporter: netanyahu has been pushing against this deal from the beginning. he's made statements every day this week. he has nothing on his agendas yet today. but from sunday through yesterday he's

our own sanctions and international sanctions imposed be the united nations security council. this will be featzed as iran takes step to adhere to the deal. if iran violated the deal sanctions can be snapped back into place. >> meanwhile, other american sanctions on iran for the support of terrorism, the ballistic missile program, will continue to be fully enforced. now let me reemphasize, our work is not yet done. the deal has not been signed. between now and the end of june the negotiators will continue to work through the details of how the framework will be fully implemented, and those details matter. if there is backsliding on the part of the iranians if the verification and inspection mechanisms don't meet the specifications of the nuclear and security experts, there will be no deal. if iran follows through on the framework that our negotiators agreed to. we will be able to resolve one of the greatest threats to our security and to do so peacefully. >> president obama at the white house this afternoon talking about this historic day in international relations, and this p
