nawal al—maghafi, bbc news, hudaydah, yemen.come known as europe's forgotten conflict in ukraine. tensions escalated there this year as europe struggled over whether to maintain sanctions on russia following its military intervention in the region. at the height of the crisis, tom burridge and his team travelled with the ukrainian military to one of the most volatile parts of the front line, on the edge of the town of avdiivka. he sent us this report. venture into this industrial area known as the prong zone on the edge of a small ukrainian city, and this is the reality almost every night. it's really close. go to the wall. we've literally just arrived in what's called the prom zone, and you can tell why they call it hot, because it's really... we need to go to the building. this perpetual war zone has been largely forgotten. after two and a bit years and countless diplomatic meetings, russia and the west have failed to deliver peace. lethal warfare here sometimes feels mundane and monotonous. so five, maybe ten minutes after we

the americans have always seen al-qaeda in yemen is particularly al-qaeda in yemen as particularly dangerouswest, and all through the obama administration there were frequent drone strikes from the air on al-qaeda militants. but they have not until now tended to go in hard on the ground in the way they did during this raid, and so this raid perhaps does mark an escalation. that is not a surprise. mr trump has made clear he wants to see a more muscular, robust military response to the threat posed byjihadist groups, and i think this raid we have seen today may be the sign of much more to come. life may get harder for the likes of al-anda. more jihadis might get killed, but there is an argument that if you killed more civilians, hatred for america in places like yemen deepens and so recruitment for organisations like al-qaeda gets easier.

there are already 7 million people starving in yemen.then delivery of vital aid which is required to avert famine in yemen will become even more difficult. the only way to prevent this unfolding humanitarian disaster deteriorating even further is to agree an immediate ceasefire. today's meeting of the un security council provides a key opportunity to bring that closer. the snp believes that the uk is in a unique position to show positive international readership in order to bring about the ceasefire to which i refer. i understand her desire to want to call for a ceasefire, a cessation of hostilities immediately. we will see what comes out of the meeting today and comes out from the united nations. but i'm absolutely in agreement with her, this is actually what we want to happen. calling for it needs to work in conjunction with the art of the possible, otherwise it simply is just words. in order for us to be able to ensure it will hold, we need to be able to say what happens if one of the sides, either of the sides, actually breaches the
