to mars existence heading as you yemen yemen as a flashlight tools was unity on iraq dat. disease actuation will population action into in some saw hunger from a farming is is iran et. extend ideal horizontally to the is will season of my much issue yeah my my first question. is from many meiji legally slate featuring it should not show it on with us about orders and the seasons are mike mike resolution saying assertiveness. it is on our disposal. they place. the people under investigation some friends from town council to separate like that sentence on ten thousand is accused of using that on twenty seven states dangers basically. coming out in a day jj and janet yellen services has. russia's innocent is may twenty and the area of them that would it would all go as soon as they leave calling another other attend criminal there is something on the little bit. say a name they to leave the city said a on an island made last modified code calling on that on that question. legislation. italiani really cannot cannot easily residents on the front but made. a complaint way. in a

yemen. hi do you know what's happening in yemen. so much. i'm afraid. to go. right now sorry what's happening in yemen. now there's a war soldier rubia. some middle east politics higher no idea really do you know what's happening in yemen sorry do you know what's happening in yemen thank god it's taken the lives of thousands of civilians and caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis and yet according to a new poll almost a home for the people in the u.k. have no i did there is a war taking place in yemen a war in which a saudi led coalition is conducting a deadly campaign event strikes in an attempt to drive out who the rebels hope you carry don't know about most things so when you read my conversion charts terrible why do you think that is not enough is being sent over to it depends what the media synthesizing at a particular point in time which you would see is public knowledge and opinion so you think it's under-reported the war in yemen isn't just another humanitarian crisis in a far flung parts of the world the saudi led campaign is being waged partly thanks to a hefty supply of british made weapons the u.k. government happens t

yemen that has now created the worst humanitarian crisis in the world? a million and a half people are on the verge of famine. you go to yemen, and there's a brilliant "new york times" report out of yemenu go to yemen, and they believe that this is an american war against them because they look at the bombs. they're made in the america. they look at the planes made in emergency. they look at the tensions, comes from america. we're being implicated in this war that most americans don't even know we're participating in. why? what american interest does it help that the saudis kidnapped the prime minister of lebanon and tried to shake him down? that they blockaded qatar? these are all saudi goals. why is the u.s. implicated in them? >> that's a good question because is anyone that ignorant of what's going on, especially the leader of the free world, or is it just that he doesn't really care? >> well, i mean there are a whole bunch of theories. one of them, to be honest, is there some reason why donald trump is being so nice to the saudis? i mean there are people who have speculated the gulf arabs provide an enormous amount of the investment capital for result. who the hell knows whether t

basically saying the same thing if everyone goes against again let me remind you egypt when things to yemen even pakistan went against yemen if everyone goes against yemen then yemen is probably. well it's the same thing with syria you know when the whole costs at the boy usually if the bottle but it was all right and the french lost me that tells us very clearly that the united states is not is not willing to restrain. saudis and their allies not in their war against yemen me i mean even it hardly got into the news into the fear and now people know about it there's still no real push to end this senseless war well i think that the united states. can we in position on the show give fair on the one hand it's not possible to cancel on the all the contracts so all the idea of the american administration is just to determine who is person responsible for that so also the relationship of the saudi relationship is trumps any kind of personal response you are committing premeditated murder yes sure sure sure so it's not not to blame the whole country the whole their leadership but just to trace and punish only those who are respo

and honest people are without any kind of responsibility you know the culture of militia which was not what never existed in yemen now exists in yemen the division within the social structure of a brick ation of the society you know that the war has destroyed the structure of yemen and that was never happened if this war did not started so now the americans or the administration and particularly with their want to present something are saying look so that if you want to go to the to the to this meeting to have a discussion and disobey in all parties you know there are too many difficulties here one it's not not it's. it clearly yet who would be invited to this kind of negotiation and that's that's important because yemen is no longer when yemen you have the government base that if you have some group people and then you have coaches and son are in you have other forces within the. yemeni society that's one factor the other one there is no guarantee that this kind of a process will lead to any result in this context because there are many players involved and here i feel that there is a focus on the process of negotiation rather than

yemen. you might not know there is a war in yemen because the media seems to be involved with other things. we have been involved with the saudi coalition, nine other nations including bahrain who have been bamming yemen. you might not know. about yemen either. yemen is one of the poorest countries on the planet, about 17,000 people who live on the edge of starvation there. this year they suffered cholera. over a million people had cholera and thousands of people died. this is a country so impoverished that scene when there is no -- that even when there is no war in yemen they live on the edge of being able to survive. the pictures are heartrending. when you see the pictures of swollen bellies because they don't have enough proit -- protein. your tax dollars are supporting this war, so i think there ought to be a debate, so that's what i stand up today to do, is to force a debate over whether or not we should be involved with aiding and abetting the saudi coalition in this war in yemen. you see, our founding fathers intended that congress would debate war. it was very, very clear. if you read the federalist papers, if you read the constitution, if you read any of the founding fathers, if you read any

because i mean the united nations and us in yemen is a conflict in many conflict or a civil war in yemen is not like that if you don't mention the saudi role in yemen this mean that you are giving them a green a green light to do what they want in our country ok sir there are obviously members of the u.s. congress from both parties who have been critical of saudi for years and even more so now because of what has happened to the market to those members of congress have leverage to get the trump administration to do something. well the brother point here a site think that the kind of lobbying efforts that have been taking place in the past and to resurrect. saudi arabia united arab emirates are the full war against iran is ringing hollow at the moment precisely because it has showed you a fear so what has happened is that the appetite in washington and the mood has changed. it is clearly that the war in yemen now is gaining renewed attention and the question marks are being erased over what kind of partnerships to u.s. saudi partnership what kind of results that partnership is producing in yemen i think that the next face of the debate is going to f

yemen right. good morning thank you the needs in yemen are massive and it has been building up for years now yemen even before the conflict of two thousand two thousand as one of the at upwards poorest countries so the conflict came to add more than seventy five to eighty percent of the population is in need of some kind of mainly food aid and access to healthcare. so we see. we see scenes of misery across the county in the south but also in the north. as well so the needs are huge including of course food access to clean wanted access to health care and so on and so forth so four fifths of the population in yemen are in need of aid if i understood you correctly what are the biggest obstacles you face in getting a to the worst affected areas. well of course that i many challenges of course the complexity of the yemeni. conflict the multiplicity of actors the difficulty of movement across the country the difficulty that is stiction imports but also the massive humanitarian needs organizations on their own will not be a response to the massive needs this is why the international committee of that at

because i mean the united nations and us in yemen is a conflict in many conflict or a civil war in yemen is not like that if you don't mention the saudi role in yemen this mean that you are giving them a green a green light to do it if they want in our country ok silver there obviously members of the u.s. congress from both parties who have been critical of saudi for years and even more so now because of what has happened to the market to those members of congress have leverage to get the trump administration to do something. well the brother point here a site think that the kind of lobbying efforts that have been taking place in the past and the rhetoric saudi arabia united arab emirates are the full war against iran is ringing hollow at the moment precisely because it has showed you a fear so what has happened is that the appetite in washington and the mood has changed. it is clearly that the war in yemen now is gaining renewed attention and the question marks are being erased over what kind of partnerships do us saudi partnership what kind of results that partnership is producing in yemen i think that the next face of the debate this going to fo

and you rarely see a story on yemen but when you do, what's it all about? saudi bombing, saudi blockade, it's not about the intricacies of yemen politics. it's about whether hoppe is a legitimate government, it's all about the bombings and the iranians have been telling the houthis for a while now fight to the last. fight to the last yemeni, we are all for it. keepdoing this for another 20 years, saudi arabia will be broke . the saudi's have mistakenly maneuvered themselves into the position where all the blame is on them and very little blame is onanyone else . that's not the mark of a very astute strategy and policy. that's a mark of recklessness and frankly stupidity. there's a lot of stupidity involved in how they got into this mess . this is a critical moment, they can pin it out. they could topic away from what happened to stumble foreclosure. will the end of the coalition warfare lead to peace in yemen? of course not. it's hard to see how peace in yemen can come in terms of an agreement between all the parties. i personally think the most likely outcome that works long term is to go back to two yemen's or three yemen's.

yemen is not an option but a duty that is support the yemeni people in confronting the aggression of the rainy and backed militias do. you support the un's of it to end the war in yemen. or can. you be going to. the un is pushing for a cease fire around the key battleground of her data beyond that yemen needs a long term plan for peace after the last round of talks broke down that would be a major challenge. well saudi arabia is also coming under increasing international pressure over the killing of distant journalists cheap germany has announced eighteen saudi citizens are they banned from entering europe's visa free shipping and travel zone over their suspected involvement in the killing let's listen to what german foreign minister had to say. in the past few days we've worked very closely with our french and british friends and we've decided to germany will register a ban on entry on eight hundred saudi citizens who are presumably connected to this case in the schengen information system. for months wants us to as close agreements in the european union in this case at the weekend we said that we expect more steps towards clearing up this issue. will pay close attention to that and we reserve the right to take further steps. germany's foreign minister heiko must there let's bring i

in yemen the kingdom's foreign ministry even posted on twitter about they stand for the children of yemen but the message back fired you have to try and go rip. words just so you know children in yemen some of whom have never seen peace in their life are not alone says who saudi diplomats on twitter but something seems to be wrong with the photo op and that tweet probably because the reality for most children there looks more like this or this there's more let's go back to what was under the photo it says your children are children is this really how you treat your children. to. eat. these were the pictures now to some of the things that have been said by the u.n. children's fund experts in yemen every ten minutes a child dies from a disease that can easily be prevented yemen is one of the worst places to china right now because she sees the order sky need the number of children minorities. and the number of two that don't have access want to. access to. the u.n. says since march twenty fifth being saudi led coalition air strikes have killed around thirteen hundred yemeni children and injured roughly the same number as unlikely as it sounds saudi arabia has actually gammons biggest

yemen how much do you think the saudi regime is responsible for it. we think there are also lives are responsible for sure remainders and humanitarian suffering in yemen at the moment twenty two million people in yemen are you and your colleagues national are you we've seen delves into the civilians killed by these attacks from both sides from the heat from the saudis you've got terrorists as well if you have only involved one sibling is dying every three minutes because of these attacks and the pattern of attacks as well as continued even this weekend we are seeing scores of attacks around of course it's the heart of the danger and that's a critical flop because of all the troops that was what we sixty seventy percent are going to need in comes in zero nine is coming in by about wars and if that call also is called off they're in the private side and humanitarian agencies won't be able to deliver assistance. people starving that's the situation with millions of people the risk of damage with regard to the the saudi government and their actions rich should be keep hearing from them they say look we don't deliberately target civilian areas but we keep hearing reports from charities to these areas rep

. >> ambassador, to you, as this pertains to the broader issue and tied to the horrific war in yemen, you served as u.s. ambassador to yemen2010 to 2013. the war there rages on. you have 10,000 people dead, 8 million people on the verge of starvation. do you believe if the u.s. essentially gives saudi arabia and the crown prince mohammed bin salman a pass here, that will just embolden saudi to carry out these atrocities and continue them in yemen? >> well, i think that it's important to distinguish between the murder of jamal khashoggi and the war in yemen. i think the compelling issue for the united states is to continue supporting the u.n. special envoy in trying to bring this conflict to an end. what happened to jamal was a terrible thing. i think it affects our ability to work with mohammed bin salman going forward. but i don't think that it changes the reality inside of yemen or what the united states needs to be doing in order to try to resolve the conflict and address the humanitarian crisis. >> phil mudd, senator lindsey graham, republican senator, has been pretty much in lockstep with this president for the last s

you stop the war in yemen. >> saudi arabia in the war in yemen, you have legislation and this is something you want to push tohat source for saudi arabia. according to our reporting here at cnn, it's not expected to get through the senate. what can you do when you have a white house who is even criticizing saudi arabia over the death of this journalist? >> people talk about checks and balances and under the constitution, we really are supposed to be the ones who declare war. not just to this president, but the previous president as well. the war began under the previous administration and has been supported by both administrations. we have the ability to stop it at any moment. when i force the vote, we did lose the vote. people are sort of afraid of their own shadow. bahrain will be upset. bahrain will get the message we are serious. stop bombing civilians. pompeo said about three weeks ago they need to stop bombing civilian centers in the last two weeks, the saudis bombed 200 times. the food can't get in. i think we need to accepted a stronger message and that's no arms. >> i want to talk about an issue that

yemen but the message has backfired . reports just so you know children in yemen some of whom have never seen peace in their life are not alone says who saudi diplomats on twitter but something seems to be wrong with the photo op and that tweet probably because the reality for most children there looks more like this. or this there's more let's go back to what was under the photo it says your children are children is this really how you treat your children. these were the pictures now to some of the things that have been said by the u.n. children's fund experts in yemen every ten minutes a child dies from a disease that can easily be prevented yemen is one of the worst places to be as china right now. sees the order to the number of children minorities two million and the number of two that and don't have access to want the same with access to. the u.n. says since march twenty fifth being saudi led coalition air strikes have killed around thirteen hundred yemeni children and injured roughly the same number as unlikely as it sounds saudi arabia is actually yemen's biggest humanitarian daughter with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid this year alone just like an abusive partner who picks up the medical bills no wonder folks online didn't really by the way saudi diplomats are standing with yemen are these the children you plan to drop bombs on next should that not read we stand on yemen just imagine the tweet of the nazi foreign ministry on september nineteenth thirty nine saying we stand with poland that's crazy. there may be people within sa

yemen. we need the u.s. good efforts to bring peace to yemen, not to encourage the saudis to do more and more for this proxy war, fighting iran in yemen. that's my position. >> and you mentioned the article that secretary of state pompeo wrote. it was actually in "the wall street journal." yes, it was today, in fact. >> sorry. "the wall street journal." >> easy mistake to make from all the way over there in sanaa. tehran, it says -- >> sometimes, yes. >> pompeo says tehran is establishing a hezbollah-like entity on the arabian peninsula. a militant group with political power that can hold saudi hostage as hezbollah's missiles in southern lebanon threaten israel. in other words, they are viewing you as iran's hezbollah-like proxies in yemen. being a direct threat to their ally, saudi arabia. what do you say to that? >> i deny that. and i can say, if iran is doing something the americans should know, with nikki haley provided at the security council in terms of iran, intervention in yemen, i can't tell you, we improve them to depend them ourselves. the iranians didn't bring any missiles to yemen, and i tell the whole world we have missiles that can fight the saudis fo
