the conflict in yemen has the mystic factors in yemen -- has domestic factors in yemen.is not all made by iran and saudi arabia. but yes, saudi arabia's involvement in the proxy wars we have seen in the past years has exacerbated the factors in yemen. the other yemeni political partners are excluded from the political process. folly: ibrahim, sorry to interrupt you, we will talk about the other actors in a little while, and the complicated aspect of that as well. but let me come to trita and ask you your thoughts. ibrahim says let's not be overoptimistic. what are your thoughts? do you think we are on the verge of a breakthrough in this conflict? trita: i certainly hope that we are on the verge of a breakthrough but i think caution is very much warranted. at the end of the day the yemeni conflict originally was an internal civil war. unfortunately, both iran, saudi arabia and the uae exacerbated the situation, poured more weapons into the conflict, made it much bloodier. the blockade has killed a majority of the people in the last year. and it has made it worse. if the i

i am any decision by yemen, ease themselves. but the question now what, where is they in the government? and this talks between the who visits and saudi arabia, they seem to be not and presence, they were not kind of the nation and her mom. so this is, this is a failure to the concept that was, should be, am, any decision. and this is the indication why this is not going to be an abraham. let me come to you about that. it does look like the whole fees are in a stronger position today, even in this a negotiations and talks with the saudis. it seems like the saudis coming around more to the who these demands via, you know, than vice versa. yeah, i think the hoses will be involved in with the agree with if he stalks and especially if it's successful, because i think what the hope is, have to give back to saudi arabia is security. but instead of for that hope is will be in charge because we are not discussing our arrangements after if the water stops. and after lifting the blue kid or with that with is will be open to power sharing.

a launch a war against yemen. in this situation, a yamini politician should firmly stand against this aggression because this war is being declared on his own people, and he is sworn to protect and serve a coalition of countries that were equipped with sophisticated usm british made weapons, declared war on your government in 2015, but they did not succeed in achieving their goals to defeat the on thought a lot back movement. why do you think that is the case? why did the saudi le coalition fail to defeat the on solemn movement? and you expect that the u. s, and the british government will continue to wage their war on yemen through saudi arabia and the coalition. so he asked if, could he, this war that was declared against yemen for 9 years is a school of its own. how much have we learned about was in history? how much have we read and learned about world war? one welled war 2 and the 30. it was the 100 year war. and the american civil war history has taught us a lot about was that occurred in the past, and also

and yet we've seen now in yemen — and notjust yemen, but since we're speaking about yemen — how thisg with this hardship, as you say, the poorest country in the region and what would be regarded as one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. yeah, and you mentioned there the cautious optimism with this idea that that maybe, maybe after all these years, some kind of hope for peace. we saw a prisoner exchange a few days ago. the saudis are keen to extract themselves from this conflict as well, of course. there's unexpected rapprochement between two major heavyweights in the region, saudi arabia and iran, two of the key players in what is a proxy conflict in yemen is what is fuelling this cautious optimism, the sense of a new opening in this years—old conflict. saudi arabia, of course, launched a military intervention in 2015 in neighbouring yemen — that was a year after the houthis, backed by iran, seized power in a coup and seized large swathes of yemen. so, with this rare rapprochement between saudi arabia and iran, it is taking out, at least for now, one of the main engines fuelli

ron and also saudi arabia's desire to end its involvement in yemen. so on the 1st question of reconciliation inside the country, again, it's really important to recognize that this is unfortunately not the end of the configure, hopefully will be end of the armed conflict. that is the one that is a few by sounds great in the wrong, but it is not an end of the conflict itself. it's going to be a very fun people to be able to get to a full reconciliation. but this is a 1st necessary step towards being able to start that process in regards to yvonne in saudi arabia, i think from the saudi perspective, it's quite, the saudi arabia recognized us that this was a huge mistake. they cannot win this, that they have a lot of on isn't only made out of the security worse. and in order to achieve the 2030 version, that was how the conference has he needs to reconcile with the von or however much he may dislike the iranians and the iranian regime. and in many ways, a bold step for him to now make this shift from the volume perspective, the saudis have been tremendou

where they directly involved in this yemen process. i'm not talking about here much about the reconciliation behind on in the chinese, at the nomic leverage on both sides. and as a result could ensure or at least provide some sort of assurance that they both will adhere to the agreement. and that agreement, as has been said on this still seems to also have been instrumental in order to be able to get this an extension of the tooth that we're seeing in younger right now. all right, let me come to you now. i, for, as we said, it's a very complicated process, isn't it? given the different actors, whether external or internal involved looking at some of the demands the whole fees have made. you know that the for foreign forces to leave yemen, for example, salaries to be paid and so on. talk to us about the daily ha ships, the amenities are experiencing right now and what an end to the conflict would mean in the mediate. for them are they any signs already on the ground that things are getting better? so under the 8 through 30 years of conf

humanitarian aid to yemen in the upcoming budget. over half a million in yemen right now are children that may die from malnutrition and starvation this year if we do not act. it's simple. we must act. the world is listening and watching. a significant increase in u.s. assistance in yemen would cause other countries to follow our lead. meaning our investment will have far more of an impact. please make sure that our message is clear. that we cannot allow us to stand on the sidelines and allow yemen to starve. if this diplomatic process breaks down, i'm prepared to work with my colleagues to introduce new legislation to end this awful war. for this moment i want to recognize again all those who have lost their lives during this war and those who have had long lasting impact. mr. speaker, i rise today as one of the first muslim women ever elected to the united states congress, and tomorrow ends the holy month of ramadan. i want to offer my wonderful greeting to all of my neighbors across the country that are observing recommend dan and

but the, in yemen, it's not as simple as that is it is a lot more complex. yemen is a beautiful country, fascinate him. complex political landscape, former president idea the la father once said ruling human was like dancing of the has of stakes. he was killed because of those complex political reality. his predecessor, all of us, me, was killed just a year after he took over and before him at handy, was killed in 1986. there was a bloody civil war in the southern part of the country. it's this political device that makes life very difficult in a place like yemen. you have the health is her control vast over to reverse stretches from santa all the way to words or saturday on the border with saudi arabia. so these are the houses that is when you move south of ties, you have the southern earth transitional council, which basically would like to have the marxist linen estate that prevailing the south until 1990 to be restored. of the secession, as have been bailey, backed by the united arab emirates. now they have a 3rd party the, the, the president, a leadership council, backed by saddled

currently, yemen doesn't have any u.n.national investigative body to investigate those crimes. this did not only stop the investigations and reporting on the violations of saudis, but his stepfather reporting on violations of -- stopped reporting of violations of others. amy: finally, how will a peace process move forward that you think could stick, that you think would hold all sides accountable? >> any piece that does not have accountability, reparations, is just a political agreement that can fall at any time. if we are looking at a long-lasting, durable peace, we should take the issues of accountability, transitional justice, also reparations to victims into consideration. amy: ali jameel, inc. you for being with us accountability and , redress director of mwatana for human rights. visiting new york city from sanaa, yemen. that does it for our show. i am speaking at two events this weekend. on saturday, april 22, troy, new york. 7:00 p.m. sunday, in boston giving the 10th annual dorothy day lecture at 1:00 p.m. for all

we no longer part of this yemen. this deal stipulates that the m and has to stay united with the health is having a bigger say, you have this law, have this assessment secessionist. this is why when you talk to the health is about the potential for a final settlement. they will tell you it will take some time. yemen is controlled by several groups. the presidential leadership council, which was formed last year, controls most of southern the oven, and it's backed by saudi arabia. it is the internationally recognized government. while you aid backed southern transitional council forces have an inch, influential presence in aden and other parts of the south with fighters stations on the island of sir katra. the saudi u. e coalition is fighting the iranian backed hoodies, who controlled the capitol center and most of the old in yemen. since 2014, that al qaeda is active in several areas, with its biggest influence in the olden had the remote province who say in our low, katie is a political commentator. he says the was

and the british governments work in yemen. they're the ones who are men, eating the poverty in them. and they're the ones who are destroying humans, economy, they're stealing the country and national treasure artifacts. and i think we've seen this story over over again, not just in yemen, but throughout the middle east. you said mari, many thanks for joining us today. really appreciate your time with speaking to use of murray local list. thank you. ah, moscow and new delhi are working on signing a russia india agreement on mutual investment. that's according to russian trade, minister, dentist, that man to ralph who's in india to to discuss trade and economic ties between the states. but why do we have vaccinations for from the states, particularly for india, we are working on signing a russia, india agreement on subordinate protected mutual investments. i have no doubt that these trade preferences will be useful for russian and indian businessmen. apply national currencies in mutual payments and currents is of friendly states

we no longer part of this yemen. this deal stipulates that the man has to stay united with the health is having a bigger say, you have this law, you have this decision secessionist. this is why when you talk to the health is about the potential for a final settlement. they will tell you it will take some time. it's often been called the waltz worst. she monitoring crisis. 400000 people have died in the conflict in yemen. millions more have been displaced. agencies say that the situation will only ease at once this brutal conflict. finally comes to an end. 80 percent of people in yemen are in need of aid and assistance. according to the united nations. the world food program is saying 70000000 people face food insecurity. malnutrition rates among women and children, and yemen remain among the highest in the world. this is estimated at 3 and a half 1000000 pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under the age of 5 that is suffering from acute malnutrition. every year the you and launch is an appeal for yemen and

a peace agreement in yemen.ording to mohammad abd salam , the negotiations to end the aggression and lift the blockade of yemen are continuing. this news agency reuters, quoting two informed sources, announced that in the next two days, a saudi-omani delegation will go to sana'a, the capital of yemen, to agree on a permanent ceasefire. al-mayadeen website also announced in a report that saudi arabia has decided to end the meeting known as the yemeni presidential council. also, the sputnik news agency, quoting an informed yemeni source, announced the firm determination of saudi arabia to end the war in yemen and wrote that the agreement will probably be signed with the presence of representatives of major countries, including china, russia and iran. sputnik the recent agreement between iran and he analyzed saudi arabia in the approach of sana'a and riyadh to a very effective agreement, but hayat omani entered the yemeni capital to pursue peace talks . it will be completed in sana'a. the visit of the omani delegat

you know, i spoke with a yemen, the official today, and he made a very interesting point. he said that the only reason saudi arabia is engaging in these political talks with iran and with the officials. it's simply because they are sort of testing the water. they're waiting to see the outcome of the russian and ukrainian war. they want to see who's going to win this war between russia and ukraine. they want to see if us is going to remain the world power. so that, and the reason why they're engaging in these negotiations. so beacon by time they want to stall time and see who's going to be the winner. is it going to be russia? is it going to be the us? is it going to be china? based on the winner of this conflict that's happening between russia, china and western powers. that's where we can expect saudi arabia to make its move . so saudi arabia is on the verge of choosing sides. either they're going to stay with their decades of alliance with western powers, or they're going to join a new eastern alliance that be in spearheaded by russia and china and use of less so. but th

let's talk a bit more about yemen. now he sham i'll o macy is a conflict analyst and senior yemen advisor at the european institute of peace and he joins me from washington dc. welcome to d, w. so there are many hopes will say attached to the piece talks. can they bring an end to the almost decade? lot more. well, this is definitely a step forward, but the thing is that people are being overly ambitious and thinking just a handshake or thinking document and i would bring it into the conflict of conflict in multi layered decades of animosity. they're just going to take more of reconstructing plans, pathways to reconciliation, economy, recovery, bringing in all the other factions inside the country around the tape. so it's, it's a bit, it's a bit about managing expectations. it's a step forward. yes, but we're look, we have a lovely to go right now. sadie arabian iran have recently agreed to re establish diplomatic ties. now, with both of them ended their military interventions in yemen. what would that mean for the war

s. special envoy for yemen said that yemen is witnessing an unprecedented opportunity for peace. a significant moment most definitely. however, finding common ground between saudi arabia and who thes for a long lasting piece will take more work and more time. stephanie decker of g 0 al 0 is hush, my hell bar has covered the conflict extensively and he says this prisoner exchange is a major development. it has been for many is the biggest problem in emer. we should basically stand the warring fashion cinema. we're trying to come up with a political settlement there will disagree about the prisoners exchange never works except for few occasions or sometimes clerks on tribal leaders would broke out a deal. but we're talking about few numbers of prisoners to be swap this time. second time, significant, and it gives us an indication that what we are seeing now in the m and happening could be conducive to face to, which is going to be a political settlement with an interim government in yemen. the saudis hope to see that government implemented within 2 years with that happen still have

also the war in ukraine has impacted yemen, because yemen was relying so much on ukrainian grain.— muchly, exactl ! much on ukrainian grain. exactly, exactly! even _ much on ukrainian grain. exactly, exactly! even then, _ much on ukrainian grain. exactly, exactly! even then, we _ much on ukrainian grain. exactly, exactly! even then, we relied - much on ukrainian grain. exactly, exactly! even then, we relied for| exactly! even then, we relied for about 30% of our grain coming from ukraine, and whatever we could buy off the black market, the prices skyrocketed under ukraine and we didn't have the funds for it. so it exacerbated the situation inside the country while in parallel, finding the governments like the uk and others was cut in half —— funding from the governments like the uk. you speak about this being a step towards goodwill, do you think the goodwill came when the president was essentially pushed out, than a council was established, almost like a peace council to try and meet the demands of the houthis?_ demands of the houthis? that's a very excellent _ demands of the houthis?

but it from across yemen. and then after that you have many can actually pull together and fit together. and without any involvement of this, o d, or of the united out of a minute. the so the out. so can say like a po, bottom the and they put him in the beginning of the war. they call it a civil war audio many crisis. they, i don't think they will accept and to be part of any agreement as a big layer of, of this war on the same time as a fuse to, to negotiate is so the as mediator. that's why i think this au, the will not accept this said main demand the i didn't think that we will see any b coming soon. t m u s. president to the address brief houses of ireland. parliament use the 4th american leader to do so by reflected on what he called the enduring strength of connections between island and the united states. hold brenner reports now from dublin. day 2 of the u. s. presidents official visit provided the diplomatic and political center piece to this whole trip. kennedy reagan clinton and now applied, and ju

now to yemen, where delegations from saudi arabia and oman are holding peace talks with yemen's houthiin the country's capital sana'a, which is controlled by the houthis. this isn't the first ceasefire attempt, but it is significant, as the bbc�*s sebastian usher explains. there was a temporary ceasefire last year, which expired in october. that helped calm the situation, that helped bring in confidence—building measures. and although it expired, there's been no realflare—up in the fighting since. so i think the very basic aim of these talks will be to ensure that another ceasefire is put in place. but i think it's more ambitious than that, and that's certainly what is coming out from unnamed sources. there's been nothing official from either the saudi side or the houthis on this, but i think the aim is to have at least a considerably longer ceasefire, if not a permanent ceasefire, which would be at least the start of the end of this war that's dragged on for eight years, which is in pretty much a stalemate, really. this particular element of the war, the one where the houthis — who ar

however, you know, yemen is not making the headlines anymore. and the will, shouldn't forget about yemen because even if the coffee and today they need, they're still immense. and the i church she, we will keep working here together with our partner from the human red crescent to and if you just ring up and what sort of support would you need from the infinite humanitarian. one of the main things well, and for the 1st of course it doesn't mean you know, it's a very dangerous cocktail to have you. many needs raising and funding decreasing. so we're hoping that the international coming she doesn't forget about chairman, indeed, well fuzzy, my thoughts a spokesperson for the international committee of the red cross. john is live from yemen. thank you very much for your time today on our team. we wish you all the best with your endeavors. don't think we're to su, done. now. we're heavy fighting between the army and the recess. power minute group now officially declared us rebels on order to despond. events, it is 3rd day reports on this to done dots

more now, when our top story, the prisoners swap in yemen, the office of the un special envoy for yemen has issued a statement on the release of prisoners. hans kornberg says the release of the detainees comes at a time of hope for yemen. as a reminder, that constructive dialogue and mutual compromises are powerful tools that helped achieve great outcomes from bug says that hundreds of yamini families will get to celebrate, eat with their loved ones, because the part is negotiated and reached an agreement. and that this spirit is reflected in ongoing efforts for a lasting political solution. for st. bahati is a who the analyst, and he thinks thousands more prisoners could soon be released. i think that the visit of the buzzard to santa has actually moved this but is not the exchange able those and i have to leave a message to. so dad a bit that they are ready for a full exchange of prisoners in both sides, which could be about $15000.00 prisoners in both in the hands of both parties. and that's why i think if, if, if this but isn't that can, you will go as it was bland. i believe that t

what will be there for a form of a state of yemen in the future. the 3rd phase will be the transition period, which was expected to be 2 years up until now. saudi arabia is relations on the international stage have been very closely tied to the united states. are we seeing a refocusing of saudi arabia's foreign policy in a different direction? if i call it, i call it a budget. it's a new tele, his g of the put on policy of sugar area at united states is furnished strategic ad security, bottom sugar area. but at the same time, the large, the largest, the threads barton bob sort of showed that a, b is china. and the most important parts on which showed that he had been obvious blockage that i shot it showed that it'd be. and now they have to start dental issues with the waste, with the washington london, body spelling, but oxen blossoms are the same time. they have too strong relation with jean with moscow with the new delay. now we are, we are in transit while out of transition. we are not in the same situation. 26 new somebody, 1991. when the sovie

david grassley is the un humanitarian coordinator for yemen. he says, a cease fire will be of great benefit to the people of yemen. the only way to find it to reduce it in humanitarian assistance, is to find a into the conflict. so we were very hopeful that this move continues the ending of the air strikes the cessation hostilities on the front lines. major major improvements in people's day to day lives. secondly, opening the port of who data has allowed fuel and other essential commodities come in freely. the economy is starting to come back, jobs are created, and that also helps us move away from humanitarian assistance. and finally, the airports in santa as not fully open, but enough to get medical cases out so that people can get treatment. many have wait years for such treatment, so these are all very positive signs of what even a limit the truce can do. so we expect much more with a with a cease fire, a potential settlement and conflict. last year we saw some progress with about 2000000 people. no longer requiring 2000000 people less, no

they are present everywhere in yemen. you, you won't be able to have peace in the future if the is law has that or bought. then you have the secessionist, ill, the south and the secessionist. see, this is them their moment. they joined the union 1990 hoping that the this could give them more say they say they were betrayed, ever since they were abandoned by the iliad from the north. and they said, this is the moment for them to break away. they would like to reinstate the republic of the south of the m, and that was in place until 1990. so it's a very complex political as get. the americans have always been concerned because of another element which is a q, a, b alti. then the other peninsula, it's the most aggressive, the most powerful. i'll kind of shoot outside of, of gunston and the americas were always looking at here because they were concerned a q a, b could use the human as a platform to launch attacks against western sagas. all over the world, so we combine all those l m as all those key factors, all those warnin

and eid is meant to ease some of the suffering and yet we have seen now in yemen and notjust yemen, since this is making people even more desperate. but eid or not, 365 days of the accommodation, they are, yemenis have been living with this, one of the poorest countries in the region, and what would be regarded as the world's was humanitarian crisis. ., , lawyers for alec baldwin have confirmed to the bbc that all charges against the actor stemming from the fatal shooting of cinematographer halina hutchins on the set of his western movie rust have been dropped. a reminder of what happened. in october 2021, baldwin was rehearsing scene on the set at a ranch in new mexico, when the prop gun he was holding fired. it resulted in the death of the 42—year—old ukrainian—born cinematographer. charges of involuntary manslaughter were brought against him and the film's weapons handler hannah gutierrez—reed, who you see here. lawyers for both denied any wrongdoing. sophie long has more on the charges. we have a statement from his lawyers who say they were pleased about that and they now encourage wh

after years of war yemen is sufferin t tragedy. after years of war yemen is suffering one of the _ tragedy. after years of war yemen is suffering one of the worlds - tragedy. after years of war yemen is suffering one of the worlds worst - suffering one of the worlds worst humanitarian crises. the conflict between the coalition led by saudi arabia backed by iran has pushed millions of people into hunger. this deadly disaster comes just as peace talks earlier this month had finally given yemen a glimmer of hope of a better and safer life. finally, imagine ringing your local restaurant to book a table and a member of the british royalty answers the phone. just that happened in birmingham in the uk when prince william and his wife catherine were visiting an indian street food restaurant. take a look at what happened when the phone rang. oh, good. the industry. how can i help? yes. sorry. what street are we on? we're on a belecksial street. yes, belecksial street. do they want to book a table? opposite? do we have a seat for two right n

but it also definitely reflects on the situation in yemen. this is one of the things why we see the be more amenable towards salary bionics by oser. they're willing to shake hands as a good stuff for and again, but again, we need some time to gauge progress to gauge the extent to which with they'll be that they would want to play bull that you've mentioned there that there have been, let's say, steps forward but it isn't enough for at lasting peace or for peace, in your opinion, what needs to be done then in order for that piece to be possible going forward, considering what you've been mentioned before. well, to begin with, says multiple sections in the country. currently, the current talks are, you know, bilateral, with a loan, you have, for instance, the southern traditional council that they want. they want to see with half the country. they're not part of these agreements and talks you have the national resistance on the western coast. they're not part of east pox. you have other tribes in the middle and in the east of the country again

at the meeting of the security council , the un secretary general's special envoy for yemen announced that in the eight years of the war in yemen, this country has such a new opportunity to end the war . the conflict itself has not seen time he also welcomed the agreement between the islamic republic of iran and saudi arabia and the foreigner to strengthen cooperation in the region with efforts to reach the united nations strengthening in yemeni affairs through constructive dialogue and communication with the authorities of iran, saudi arabia and the uae to promote reconciliation in yemen . hanar, the deputy head of the united nations office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs, said that in recent weeks, the restrictions on the entry of commercial goods needed into yemen have decreased. the united nations , which presides over the security council, said that now it has witnessed a turning point for the country has suffered i am constructive by emphasizing that yemen's problems should be solved in a comprehensive and long-term way, but unfortunately, some members of the securi

and now of course yemen. so i think there's, there's a momentum for destination, which is a good day. people are tired in the region. let's talk about emma, for instance in yemen. yep. 84 percent of the population in need of some form of a 2 thirds of the population are food insecure. people are sick. you go and ask any, any on the street these days and tell them, boucher, when the war, who do you think should have the upper hand? who do you think should become the president of human? i thought a lot of human is i will tell you, we no longer care. i just need electricity. we clean water. i need a job. i need to be able to put bread on the table. that's all i care about. but somewhere in this level of fatigue that we're really desperate for peace warden, which apple, whichever way it comes, his shamela may see here is hoping that the day to day circumstances of ordinary yemenis improve his sham. thank you so much. thank you for having me. and there is chaos on the streets of paris to night after france, his co

foreigner than me added today the american forces are present in the provinces of yemen. the question is whether there is a complete agreement between yemen and saudi arabia , are there channels and mother of these forces? a member of the political office of the ansarullah movement of yemen also stated that i must be rid of the presence of american forces, britain, france and the zionist regime. shoud, yemen's defense minister, warned that if the aggressor countries seek to create tension , they will suffer, according to the al-mayadeen tv channel , mohammad nasser atefi, while visiting the positions of the army forces and popular committees in hedayat, said that if the countries surrounding the aggressors are honest in their words. and implement what has been agreed upon, they will benefit themselves, but if they do not seek to deceive the people and give in to external pressure, especially the pressure of the temporary sexual regime, then they will suffer . we have different methods and important strategies that we can use to protect those they have lied to our people a

mark: why is it that yemen has become this forgotten conflict? france 24 have reported on yemen, but one could say you could never report enough on a tragedy like this that has become an ongoing situation. as you point out, eight years and counting. >> part of the problem is we are not really seeing this in our faces directly in europe or america. it is not like crises in syria or north africa where refugees end up on our doorsteps. it is very much in a forgotten corner of the arab world, and it is not a rich country. yemen has already -- always been a poor country and it does not have much in oil revenue, so it does not seem that it is a priority. there are glimmers of hope at the moment, so let's not be too down on this. there might be a path to peace in the offing right now. mark: let's hope that pathway can be cleared and that pathway can be trodden toward peace, but in the meantime, we are not there. is the involvement of saudi arabia the fact that has made the west rather cool on the region? >> we have been supporting the saudi-led coalitio

this is a big development in yemen, as we speak. the red cross is deploying planes in santa aden, or to model in riyadh with the saudi prisoners. all will be air released. and we're expecting the $800.00 prisoners to be released within 3 days. this was only made possible after a significant rapprochement between saudi arabia and iran. i've covered many meetings between the herpes and the internationally recognized government in 2015, 16 and then in stock hall in 2018 and the stumbling block for any political settlement was the prisoner exchange. suddenly they decided there was a breakthrough in the prisoner exchange, and this i think was only made possible because of that agreement between saudi arabia and iran to normalize ties. and we're seeing this being air. busy busily lighted across on or right wendy. this is the airport of sun i, which is under the control of the how thes and we see their own prisoners now reuniting, where there are loved. what is a very significant moment? it's a moment the hope is, are celebrating because t

david g wrestling is the un humanitarian coordinator for yemen. he says a ceasefire will be of great benefit to the people of the country. the only way to do it to reduce it in humanitarian assistance, is to find out into the conflicts. so we were very hopeful that this move continues the ending of the air strikes the cessation hostilities on the front lines. major major improvements in people's day to day lives. secondly, opening the port of who data has allowed fuel and other essential commodities come in freely. the economy is starting to come back, jobs are created, and that also helps us move away from humanitarian assistance. and finally, the airports in santa as not fully open, but enough to get medical cases out so that people can get treatment. many have wait years for such treatment, so these are all very positive signs of what even a limit the truce can do. so we expect much more with a with a cease fire, a potential settlement and conflict. last year we saw some progress with about 2000000 people. no longer requiring 2000000 people les

in yemen, now, if the agreement happens, what would it look like? are we likely to see a centralized government in san i again, or is it much more complicated than that? are we likely to see a power sharing agreement between the whole fees and the saudi back? i don't think is going to happen, i think is going to be a mammoth task for everybody. because i was just a while ago talking to a senior who the official who was very optimistic on the truth. but when i asked him about power sharing, he said, wait. because as far as we are concerned, as the hope is, this is why we'd like to see happening. we would like the restrictions imposed on us to be lifted. we would like the embargo to come to an end with like in foreign troops or reference to the ability to of stations in the island of psychiatry or to pull out from the country. we'd like compensation for the atrocities committed against us. and we would like the international committee to understand that the status quo ante is never going to happen again. second condition says by the health is, is that
