in yemen your team found evidence that such arms are indeed being used in yemen to help difficult was it to find that that evidence finding the evidence itself wasn't that difficult i mean we basically just used open source material that means we troll twitter and you tube and looked at satellite images on google earth verifying it was a little bit more difficult so to verify it we actually had to make eight these weapons so we say maybe to just explain a little bit we found a video that showed. up with a german weapons system on it then we had to prove that was actually in yemen so we then looked at satellite images tried to compare the mountain range is how is is roads even rocks beside the road to see whether this actually matched up with satellite images we had and then when we had exact coordinates that meant yes this was a verified proof that these weapons these weapon systems were actually in yemen at the time the videos of the photos or whatever we're looking at claimed now you've mentioned the vessels boats have been used you mentioned other kinds of german millet german made

unfortunately while we talk about the sorby in a yemen yemen conflict in origin it's now become a regional conflict and nothing can happen without the say or will of international actors and so once they put their foot down very seriously on this war then we'll see a difference so the say has to kind of come from a top down approach from the regional actors saying this is enough this is what we would like to see and we're just going to begin face to of course we've seen a lot of times that when the regional actors are prepared for this we have the hoses on the ground who would go ahead and ruin the peace process these but that's just the way that it's going to have to be you know you're going to have to sign a peace treaty and you're going to have to make you know you're going to have to sacrifice the fact that political parties are not getting exactly what they want because they're always going to be spoilers but you have to just go ahead and do it because yemenis are suffering and of course we've talked about the looming humanitarian crisis for many many years and everything that we pred

the lives of people in yemen and the children of yemen, they matter. this chamber under this majority is going to provide a consequence for the actions of the saudi government. i hope this resolution is just our first step in responding to the humanitarian issues across the region. i look forward to the foreign affairs committee holding more hearings and markups and bringing more bills to the rules committee. i have introduced a bipartisan bill with 20 colleagues that would immediately stop all military aid and armed sales to the government of saudi arabia. i want to have a hearing and markup before it comes to this floor. this congress needs to start somewhere so we can step up our response as a country. i urge a yes vote on the previous question. i urge a yes vote on this rule and the underlying resolution and with that, i yield back. and i move the previous question on the resolution. the speaker pro tempore: the question is on ordering the previous question on the resolution. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, t

news suggest that those weapons are being used in yemen fears are.in yemen's brutal war it's the civilians who have bearing the brunt thousands have died millions on the brink of starvation i think the dominant falls has been the saudi led coalition the fact that it keeps bombing civilians and civilian infrastructure despite having the best weaponry money can buy. saudi arabia and the united arab emirates up both fighting in yemen and it's here at this abu dhabi that they're shopping for the latest lethal technology both among the german arms industry's top clients but bilin has repeatedly denied any knowledge of german made employed in yemen. i'm not aware of it we have in our coalition agreement let down so i'm very strict rules for further export of military weapons to parties immediately and directly involved in the german conflict it is now being implemented i have not had any news about it so far. germany prides itself on these strict export guidelines which ban the sale of weapons to countries involved in armed conflict. but d.-w. and its inve
