yemen will never return to how it was. and the millions in yemen don't care who controls. the territory whether it's if you have the allies of these or the allies of the governments who's giving more to this people who's helping the people the scariest thing about this war is that the word violations have become normal that's even internationally bjarne i give you get less attention because it's. it's happening on a daily basis from both sides both sides so this is the scary part and even those who are killing the civilians are also not getting more attention because they know that there is less. he's looking at them and that's why these violations are going to get me. to three years from now even if there is peace how will these millions of people stand up if you think that after this disastrous war that had them lose everything. lost loved ones are. hundreds of thousands of homes families have left their homes displaced so on everything they own the extreme poverty line that they've used it so it would take years and years even after the. the end of this war but it's imp

and the world the international community has led yemen down. starting with the trumpet ministration here in the u.s. they have shown zero. caring about the yemeni people and their suffering and if they had the slightest bit of concern they would have pushed for a strong diplomatic solution and believe me with with a strong american backing and pressure on the saudis they could bring this war to an end and they could go back to a negotiated solution now look you know but it is part of a new vibrant and very promising generation in yemen there are young yemeni men and women who are leaders of civil society or are leaders in the media and who are spreading the word about what's going on in yemen they're doing a very good job i commend them unfortunately it doesn't seem to be their time yet to take over the reins of power in yemen the problem with the national dialogue at the time conducted by u.n. envoy janelle bin or maher is that is it was concerned with the constitution with refinements but there was no real power braking power brokering arrang

the people of yemen i will follow the progress of the file until yemen returns to yemen. even after the end of my assignment my cents go to the members of this council and the international community for their support to the un led mediation efforts during the past three years including the efforts of the gulf cooperation council and the call is to the yemeni parties that are solely responsible for all that is happening . i call on them to turn the page of this appalling war and the history of yemen the united nations is facilitating the path for peace and the international community is creating a favorable environment for it only the yemeni decision makers are able to stop the war and the bloodshed and i repeat only the yemeni decision makers are able to stop the war and the bloodshed in the region the landscape is in cumbered with challenges political and sectarian disputes and economic pressures there is no doubt that the developments in recent months in yemen well resourceful the political cards and change some internal blocs especially considering the pressure and ch

security council resolution that would've condemned iran over the war in yemen. russia has humanitarian corridors to civilians out of the syrian enclave of eastern good but it's not clear whether the rebel and terrorist groups occupying that area will allow anyone to leave. and as italy heads towards this weekend's general election protesters across the country seem happy to unleash violence to stop a center right coalition coming to power and also to come. to games in south korea come to an end with russian athletes greeted back home by families and jubilant. thanks for joining us my name's neil harvey this is r.t. international now on monday russia vetoed a draft u.n. security council resolution that condemned iran over actions in yemen and the resolution accused iran of supplying drones and missiles to the rebels in the war ravaged country instead russia offered to support a competing resolution that extends sanctions on yemen without mentioning iraq that document was adopted unanimously let's go now stateside speak for respondants amir of syria tell us more t

that condemned iran over actions in yemen so use american reports. russia's draft resolution has passed unanimously in the security council today they met to discuss the ongoing situation in yemen and to vote on two rival draft resolutions one proposed by the u.k. and the other by russia of a u.k. draft resolution called for quote additional measures against iran over accusations that it violated an arms embargo now this came after u.n. experts said in january that iranian military equipment was brought in to yemen after the arms embargo was imposed but also stated that they were unable to verify the supplier and russia's draft resolution called for the renewal of sanctions until february twenty nine hundred but did not mention iran the russian ambassador called for political dialogue and expressed the need for the u.n. to come closer he also explained the reasoning behind the veto let's take a quick look i will be frank the wording advanced in the british draft is liable to have dangerous destabilizing ramifications and this is not only applicable t

backed saudi bombing how dangerous is it to be a journalist in yemen actually is very very dangerous especially when the coalition use a technique called the strike they normally most of the strike they target an area either the military or as well civilians they waited five five six minutes and then they targeted again and after ten minutes they do it again and this is always actually they targeted. as who come to the safe who have fair. who haven't been killed in this strike specially as will journalists and you mentioned this a journalist is not the first one i think there are about a mine journalist who has been killed by the saudi director airstrike and i think this is the way because the saudi think that they can commit all this crime all this strike and the only thing that can hold them accountable a journalist so they try to target them again the targeted skewer to kill as many civilians as they can and not allowing journalists to come into yemen if they are really. not afraid of what they're doing in yemen then they will a journalist to come easily saudi arabia seldomly give

welcome back your words interview news we're turning to yemen now and together with the civil war in syria the conflict in yemen has been described as one of the greatest humanitarian disasters of our era a saudi led coalition has been bombing targets in yemen controlled by rebel who these now millions of yemenis are now dependent on humanitarian aid in the united nations as warning a famine is in the making the security council's expected to hold a briefing for the latest on the situation today in a moment we'll get some expert opinion but first we have this report detailing how yemen has come to the brink of starvation. the conflict in yemen dates back to a failed transition of power after the arab spring uprising in twenty eleven authoritarian presidents ali up to the saw that was forced to hand over power to his deputy but president up to rubble months or haiti struggled with various issues including al qaeda attacks food insecurity and high unemployment. who the rebels took advantage of this political situation and over several years gained control of various provinces in two th

from here can yemen as a nation even survive. that's a good point i mean to be honest since two thousand and eleven people have talked about maybe a federalization of yemen the national dialogue was looking at different ways in two thousand and twelve to maybe separate the country into different federal blocs that was held together by a central government now we don't have a government anymore yemen as a social political entity doesn't defacto doesn't exist anymore i mean there are different conflicts within the countries there are different pockets also of stability but stability in yemen if it exists exists only very much on the local level so we need to rethink how we look at yemen and to be honest what happened over the last couple weeks in the south with the southern movement taking action and seizing control of aden it seems like they are finally succeeding in succession which kind of paved the way to a division of yemen how it was until before nine hundred ninety and i do think that this will of obviously change everything

in the world in yemen the shows that. russia is the friend it's all alliance iran and trying to and actually the position of russia is very clear that. showing the world that iran has nothing to do with them and with. an accurate iran is involved in the war in yemen and different ways at least politically supported and they don't deny that actually politically but when it comes to the support they were supporting of weapon i think that is the position taken by russia today is actually giving iran a good support politically especially before the so they are trying to show iran as a matter other than. about the got right thank you thank you sir now this is what we've just been talking about russia has vetoed a u.n. resolution which would have called out iran for failing to prevent its weapons from falling into the hands of his the rebels in yemen instead the security council unanimously adopted a russian proposed resolution which did not mention iran diplomatic and its james base reports from the united nations in new york

think the vision they are to blame some time of the mistakes to place and where i think the war in yemen there is a serious failure when it comes to the saudi arabia that is growing because system from international community and there is a serious pressure that saudi arabia so the stop should stop what they are doing now and change course if it's needed and i think saudi arabia is trying now to open up to the international community by trying to open up airports and ports for support food or medical support so they can reduce the pressure on the so you have a government and the alliance russia has vetoed a u.n. resolution criticizing iran for failing to prevent its weapons from falling into the hands of heathy wearables in yemen instead the security council unanimously adopted a russian proposed resolution which didn't mention iran or diplomatic editor james bays reports from the united nations in new york. for the middle east this was an important moment. russia for the first time casting its veto in the security council to protect iran it came in a moment of high drama in the council

s proposal was not constructive in resolving yemen's problems. this is a very divisive resolution put forth by the u.k. that officially got into this blame game when the situation the dying humanitarian catastrophic situation in yemen calls for. a rational political process in light of the selection of a new special envoy by the un on yemen come next month so i think that russia's move was very sensible and rational and it was trying to defy the resolution russia drafted on extending the ridge the sanction regime on and yemen so i really think that the u.n. . safeguarded itself from another the wrong wrongs would have aggravated the situation so the help helping it. tensions are rising across italy as the country prepares to vote in next weekend's general election police have been deployed in cities throughout the country to humble rallies which are the defend or condemn center right. security forces expect further protest during the elections and off towards the vote isn't expected to produce a clear winner. ceci assesses the key political figur

been given for the overhaul but it comes to saudi arabia faces growing condemnation over the war in yemen saudi led coalition is supporting pro-government forces fighting to see rebels backed by iran let's get more analysis of that from james dorsey he's a senior fellow at the s. rajaratnam school of international studies he joins us on skype from singapore james dorsey what impact will this have on the conflict in yemen i think that remains to be seen i think there are probably three aspects to the changes in the military command one is to bring to show that this is a more youthful a younger administration both to the domestic audience and the international audience the problem with assessing the impact on the war in yemen is that we don't know really what the sentiment is both within the saudi public as well as within the saudi military with regard to the yemen war there is no question that there must be criticism but that criticism has not been allowed to be aired it was announced by the king but is it really being driven by the crown prince i don't think there's any doubt about that.

why did they go into yemen with such force and are now bogged down? >> there's a changing of the guard, if you will, in riyadh. the young 32-year-old now crown prince isonso cdating his power. it was his judgement that align had to be drawn in yemen. i met with him. i spent a couple of hours talking with him. when i talked about how this rivalry with iran was going to end, where it was going, he said, we're going to stop them in yemen. i don't think he realized how long it might take and how difficult it might be. the houthis have been able to hold on. an air war is not enough to dislodge them. that's why they are there, because the saudis decided that an iranian ally on their southern border controlling the access to the suez canal was unacceptable. they have gotten support in this both from the obama administration and from the trump administration. >> just very, very quickly, what did you find in yemen that proved that iran was backing the houthis? any weapons? any personnel? >> yeah. there's a group called conflict armament research. this is made
