allies and proxies to create problems whether it is in yemen or of the shipping in the. sea of oman all round in the strait of hormuz and and the last thing was of course the major attack on the oil installation and a gate in saudi arabia so i think these are it's collisions and we've just heard that you know kind of days ago there was an attack on an iranian person so it seems that the tape for tat or attacks are as collating and going to a very dangerous level and therefore i think it's understand at the end that there is no handle this and what is not a possibility. as i said you know both countries and also the region and global companies they can elevate or to have another conflict and that he and it also. there was a signal from the united states that they're not going to stand with saudi arabia. and they are also there was a signal that they should talk with the saudis i think all of these. to think her hard about this and think that the only way out of this is through negotiations and the many asian and this is i think one prominent this. or i thank you so much f

[ inaudible ] yemen. sorry. your microphone is -- your mic. >> yemen is a remarkable challenge for all of us. it is one of the largest humanitarian assistance programs anywhere. it is an extremely difficult place to do work. our -- the de facto authorities in the north, the houthis, make it very difficult. and yet, despite that, we are extremely proud of the performance of our wfp colleagues, in particular, but also unicef, w.h.o., and the panoply of american and international ngos who've been working in yemen. >> good. thank you for your work. i just wanted to touch one other -- >> yep. >> -- topic, too. it's harder -- but i've long felt we hacould have a greater significance if we could better work with eu allies on their development programs and sort of coordinate better what they're doing and what we're doing in critical areas of the world. is there an opportunity to even have a multiplier effect beyond what we're doing now? because i think there's an enormous opportunity that way. >> congressman, i couldn't

i'll leave it at that. -- likeries in yemen yemen where we are dependent on the u.n., it is easier because the mechanisms or forces pool funding activities. in countries where we have more bilateral programming, there is more coordination than you might see but they are, to be honest challenging partners because of the bureaucracy is even slower than ours and whenever i am feeling frustrated about the bureaucracy, i look at others and feel better. it is something we are committed brusselset with counterparts but let's not forget the germans, french, british bilateral assistance programs are huge around the world. relationshipsl are extremely close. i've spent four years dealing with boko haram in nigeria -- not successfully, but that is another conversation. the other conversation we had with the brits and germans was as good as we could get. >> i hope it is something the committee and subcommittee can continue to work on. thank you for your service, i yield back. >> you are recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. secretary, accountability for the murder of jamal khashoggi is vital to the

this organization acknowledged the iranian regime provided this militias in yemen with those missiles, and blatant violation of security council resolutions. resolutions 2216 and 2231. for further evidence, one should also look at the party for -- responsible for disrupting a political solution in yemen, targeting civilians, threatening shipping lanes and blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid. this rogue regime makes use of revenues resulting from the nuclear agreement to finance its aggression and terrorist activities. therefore, it is necessary for the international community to realize that cutting off sources of finance is the best way to compel the regime to renounce its militias. to prevent it from developing ballistic missiles, and to put an end to its destabilizing activities in the region and in the world. mr. president, ladies and gentlemen, today we bear historic responsibility. the credibility of this organization and the entire world is at stake. the iranian regime is left with one of two options -- the either become a normal state that respects international law and

in january we traveled through yemen documenting the proliferation of u.s.>> it's like a graveyard of american military hardware. this is not under the control of coalition forces. this is in the command of malitias. >> reporter: this in violation of the law governing u.s. armed sales which says they can't be passed on. we identified american made armored vehicle which had been sold by the u.s. to the uae under a 2014 arm sale contract and had fallen into the hands of armed groups. six months on and we spot one of the supplied vehicles. the u.s. made max pro. being paraded by uae backed malitia known as the giants brigade. they have a new mission. here on their way to the strategic port city to fight against the very legitimate government to restore. they are now fighting with the separatists. they did not respond to cnn's request for comment but the nie with u.s. made vehicles. it's part of yemeni forces that fight on the ground and under direct supervision. the vsupervision has failed. half a year on, it escalates. we set out to find out what happened to t

so a leaked draft of the saudi brokered deal would see yemen's southern separatists included in a new cabinet of the internationally recognized government the separatists would be drawn given rather half of the ministry all roads were rolls provided they were not involved in any fighting in a gray areas the deal would also unite all forces from the southern transitional council and the government under the ministry of defense within 60 days. as a nonresident scholar at the middle east institute she joins us via skype from washington d.c. so those details i just 6 playing does this sound like a good deal to you. yes of course this is not all that's in the green meant but it's it's a good deal because it's a very it's complex for now it's a very it's secession which many international observers have seen as inevitable given the way things were going and giving the grievances in the south of yemen so for now. this basically sequestering collaborative environment and of course. the implementation might be a bit of a challenge in terms of you know this is just going to test all parties to

military assistance to saudi arabia for the war in yemen and president vetoed it and he to override that veto there needs to be a 2 thirds majority in the senate and there's actually a majority that supports trump in the senate. it will never go against him among the republicans you'll familiar with this part of the world is not. specifically but certainly around this whole region the way that the turkish diplomats and turkish intelligence is going to say played this but it's far more important than than playing them but the way that they they they fed the information out over a period of time what were your thoughts on that and i guess the fact that that's what has kept it going that's what kept the story alive 100 percent i was on another one of these balconies at the time a year ago often for days on end with the other networks and i remember one day the banker there was saying well we're going to have to start criticizing the turkish government because there seems to be no no interest by the turkish government to find out what happened and then 20 minutes later the 1st leaks started

whether this how would you decide to eventually let go of the military intervention in yemen there are so many components to what happens next and how washington would position itself within the woods and you don't i make it very difficult to kind of foretell yet and i don't want to speculate too much but how do you think these additional troops u.s. troops in saudi arabia will be viewed by iran what impact do you think it's going to have on that country's decision making. cryer possibly i don't think that iran would be too concerned definitely if their home would look upon you know this additional troops as a direct threat to its own sovereignty and you know the possibility of further escalation in the region i think you would play out more in relation to yemen and how the hersey would look upon these new threats to their own creations within yemen and maybe they don't understand this as a challenge to the peace initiative that they did offer to riyadh in terms of maybe a truce or cease fire so i think we should be looking towards not to helen so much because i don't think that iran w
