Welcome to the new spirit and order for saudis to leave lebanon thats just happened but people are also asking where in the world is the lebanese Prime Minister was supposed to be back in beirut on certain questions about his would be resignation but he hasnt arrived and the latest word is hes still in riyadh also on the grid a new twist in the continuing gulf crisis did the United Arab Emirates intend to steal the twenty twenty two world cup from qatar. Apparently wanted to wage an economic war against. And in yemen millions will die its been stated almost as fact by the United Nations humanitarian agency unless the blockade on yemens air and sea ports is lifted the thing is yemen is not a new crisis so what will it take for the International Community to take some i. Post something hateful online and you can get twenty years in prison thats the new law in venezuela and the opposition is not happy about it were following the conversation but we want to hear from you im with you harding be sure to connect with us for the hash tag. Sale now. With the news going on here in streaming online Facebook Live and at the right dot com get out that is the order from saudi arabia to its citizens who are in lebanon that warnings just come out in the last hour or so and comes just days after the lebanese Prime Minister saad hariri resigned his post while on a visit to riyadh now there are questions about his over his whereabouts the office of lebanons Prime Minister has responded to those concerns saying he met the french ambassador to saudi arabia in riyadh but has not returned yet to lebanon and there were fears he was actually being held in saudi arabia against his will or Reason Office says he also held meetings with european british and u. S. Diplomats over the past two days lots to talk about then i heard following it all for us from beirut lets start with Prime Minister hariri. Ive heard you all day on air and its just been Different Levels of confusion all day really hasnt it. Well yes a confusing picture but more importantly a lot of concern we have been reporting that the president of the country the speaker of parliament theyre both concerned theyve been seeking to bastardize from western powers telling them you know were worried about how do you these well being we want to know about his whereabouts but just a short while ago we actually heard from heidi these political bloc is Political Party and they are saying that saddle heavy should immediately return to lebanon and that he should return because that is necessary for stability to restore stability in lebanon and it is necessary for the internal and external balance that we called how do these Political Office and to ask them you know are you saying that you are worried that the house of the Prime Minister who resigned of course is under house arrest they said we have no information so a very strong statement coming from how do these bloc we still do we have still havent heard from the Prime Minister since that sudden resignation on saturday we did see him on tuesday in abu dhabi of the day before he was with the saudi king but ever since he hasnt put out any statement so the president the speaker of parliament worried and now his own political bloc and on the flipside zinah some of these being told to get out of lebanon. Well yes saudi arabia clearly making it very clear that they intend to push forward that this political crisis there is no and we know its having a radio want they said that lebanon has declared war on saudi arabia simply because hezbollah is part of that government what they want is for lebanese politicians the different lebanese parties to finish off hezbollah now that is easier said than done we also had a tweet from the gulf minister the state minister for gulf affairs saying that further escalate tory measures will be taken so saudi arabia bent on pushing this crisis even further escalating steps we still do not know what action they will take but definitely they are threatening lebanon that if they do not finish hezbollah you know the Saudi Arabians are going to do their best to try to curb their groups influence in the country busy times as in iran concerning times as in the tells us there from beirut thank you. Good background to all of this on a recent edition of inside story just by the way Martin Denison her panel of guests asked the question is lebanon on the brink of turmoil kind of feels that way doesnt and it is of course no stranger at all to political upheaval inside story as ever in the shows section at aljazeera dot com to another developing story this hour in the global Whistleblower Group global leaks has released what appears to be a plan by the u. A. E. The United Arab Emirates to destroy carters economy and eventually steal the twenty twenty two world cup now this plan was found it seems in the email account of use of the u. S. The ambassador to the United States and weve had plenty of these leaks already global leaks handed over the files to the online news outlets the into six now weve got ryan graham with us now who is the d. C. Bureau chief at the in to say thank you for coming on in such short time as well tell us more about how all this unfolded for you. Sure i mean weve been writing about bass or table for. Several years now is one of the most influential figures in washington and washington d. C. You know about six months ago or so his his inbox was compromised. By sources who wound up becoming connected with with global leaks and stunningly he appears to have continued using that precise same inbox over the preceding six months and as a result apparently somebody still had access to it and was was able to find a document a global leaks also has sources connected to the bank that was involved in preparing this and so once they got information from from the bank side whistleblowers over the bank side they were able to then crosscheck it with the with the documents that were in and bastareaud table is in boxes and say ok so the issue of the world com now its not the first im certainly ive heard this idea that the u. A. E. Certainly didnt want to help us have the twenty two world cup but this issue of the economy and trying to essentially bring down parts of the copper economy can you expand on that for us. Right so the so the plan is a fairly simple one in the end its to take all of the existing bonds that u. A. E. And affiliated parties r. T. O. And put them in a kind of offshore confidential vehicle and then go about purchasing additional qatari debt. And then by credit default swaps against that debt so that when the debt goes down in value the credit default swaps rise its like buying insurance its about like buying insurance you might remember this from the movie in the in the book called the big short this is kind of a version of the big short they would then take these these bonds according to the plan and swap them back and forth among parties who from the outside look like theyre independent but are actually the same people as like me and you trading a bond back and forth and that creates an illusion of volatility and with people aware that there is this political crisis going on then they plan as they see this enhanced volatility and traders start to panic and say oh my god something must be going on here we need to sell our own our own could card debt which drives the price down further that that rises you know that increases the price of the c. D. s which then puts pressure on the currency the qatari currency which requires cutter then to bring in dollars to prop up its currency and all of this creates a sense of crisis which then the u. A. E. Would use to say well that the countries in crisis you know it ought to at least be sharing the world cup with the rest of the i. C. C. Country do the emails we talk about a plan does that suggest the plan was in motion or was quite dreamy it was there any sort of time indications given that. If if the plan were going to be affected it would it would it would happen before the countrys next bond sale which is you know coming up probably before the end of the year if you look at the volatility in the in the in the currency markets there there does seem to be a tremendous amount of it disentangling that from the other pressure that qatar is under both as a result of the blockade and not doing business with. You know not allowing cutter businesses to do business in the cetra you know its hard to disentangle how much of. How much of this volatility in this craziness in the markets is from that or how much is it from the plan that might have been put into effect we dont we dont know that thats thats something thats unknowable to us at the moment whether this plan has actually been put into effect one of the problem with a big problem for the planet which the document itself acknowledges is that the qatari debt market is very illiquid its very hard to buy and sell these products its not like the u. S. Treasury market where you can easily move them back and forth and so as they drive their prices down then theyre Stuck Holding a huge amount of debt that they have massively devalued so it would cost them hundreds of millions of dollars as the insurance that they would buy off would would not make up for the amount that they would end up losing on holding that they have now artificially suppressed brian greene from the indices very interesting talking to you we thank you for coming on the newsgroup much appreciated. You got it actually had an early whatsapp question coming in from someone he had to put your name as well if you send a whatsit comment and please do so but you know when they are asking if this is true then how will cut to react no idea of course but we are waiting for reaction weve course bring you as soon as we see anything on that. Moving on again were looking at day two of donald trump says its china and this is where things get down to business aside from the issue of north korea you have got the economics of the china u. S. Relationship up for debate because as we know donald trump thinks it is all wasted on faily against the u. S. Why does it matter well ive got some graphics here from aljazeera dot com to take you through it just really really simply i mean that tells a whole a over a third of the entire Global Economy is just these two countries the u. S. And china they are well ahead of either that japan or germany which are in third and fourth place these are the absolute the him its all of the Global Economy and then this is the one which upsets donald trump because the orange line which you see way up here is the amount of imports that china will that the u. S. Brings in from china and right down here is the opposite how much the u. S. Is exporting there is a big disparity and donald trump does not like bats well i dreamed brown is covering the president s trip from beijing for us and here is his latest report. Chinas leaders know how to put on a good show and to make important visitors feel honored. The finally tuned welcoming ceremony was far more lavish than the one given President Trumps predisaster president xi jinping has rolled out a very long red carpet for trump who ensured his tie was color coordinated. The two leaders talked for several hours later before the cameras trump they have surprised his host by saying the u. S. Trade deficit with china wasnt all chinas fault and i have Great Respect for you for the things youre representing china but its too bad that past administrations allowed it to get so far out of kilter they held a News Conference without taking questions where trump again pressure over north korea all responsible Nations Must Join together to stop arming and financing and even trading with. The murderous north korean regime their statements offered more plaudits than substance trump said she was a special man and that is people were proud of him president she reiterated his call for diplomacy and not threats to resolve the crisis on the Korean Peninsula he said it was natural for the United States and china to disagree but they owed it to the world to work more closely. I told President Trump that the pacific is big enough that the u. S. And china by its side should increase communication and cooperation in regards to asia pacific issues they agreed to cooperate over combating drugs namely the chinese made chemicals blamed on the us opiates epidemic. Many of the outcomes on thursday were prearranged two hundred fifty billion dollars worth of trade deals were announced but their real substance still needs to be assessed those agreements though mean trump can show his supporters that hes making progress in reducing the trade deficit chinas leaders clearly one president trying to leave here happy man and they appear to have given him just enough to ensure that happens in return chinas state controlled media says that its time for the United States to treat china as an equal trumps been tweeting about his successes here which means hes been breaking chinese law because twitter is banned but on this occasion his hosts probably dont mind adrian brown aljazeera beijing. To the u. K. Now where tourism is conservative government is in a whole lot of trouble pretty patel the u. K. Is International Development secretary has been forced to quit over hair and authorised meetings with israeli officials he was actually called back to london from nairobi resulting in as they will tell us in a moment a multi media circus the details from the barca. Priti patel arrived at the back door of downing street her government career hanging by a thread the International Development secretary was hold back from an official trip to africa to face her boss Prime Minister to resign may moments later patel resigned. She was forced to apologize on monday after holding twelve secret meetings with this radio officials including Prime MinisterBenyamin Netanyahu or while she was meant to be on a family holiday to israel in august it also emerged she discussed giving some of britains aid budget to the israeli army to help wounded syrians being treated in the Israeli OccupiedGolan Heights for wednesday its surface patel had visited an israeli Field Hospital in the area despite protocol against british officials traveling there the u. K. Doesnt officially recognize israels presence in the territory land seized from syria in the one nine hundred sixty seven war further revelations followed including details of more undisclosed meetings between patel and two israeli officials in september the aljazeera investigation the lobby recently revealed close links between Israeli Embassy officials and conservative members of parliament. A report in the Jewish Chronicle claimed the British Government knew about patels meetings and that she was instructed not to declare them to avoid embarrassing the Foreign Office downing street says the claims are false the departure of p. T. Patel now leaves to resume a with one less ally in government patel had backed to reserve may in her bid to become Prime Minister shes also a firm euro skeptic a keen breaks it without her to reason may could struggle to deliver on her key breaks it promises without any strong Central Control people are just making policy on the hoof and departments and it seems very clear that cabinet responsibility has it to some extent broken down and unless steps are taken to restore it shes in government but not in power. At londons Madame Tussauds a serene looking waxwork of the Prime Ministers receiving final touches the real mrs mays battling multiple crises several of her cabinet ministers have been embroiled in Sexual Harassment scandals and the foreign minister Boris Johnson is under fire for misleading comments that could extend the jail term of a british citizen imprisoned in. Patels downfall divert some attention away from johnson but many are wondering how long to reason may keep a brave face need bark out zero london dont forget patel is the second british minister to step down in a week Prime Minister may lost a close ally when her defense secretary the man on the right there Michael Fallon resigned after allegations of Sexual Harassment and two other ministers are also facing investigation so lets get an update from now he is live outside the houses of parliament in london quick update first knave on pretty brutal herself and has the government moved quickly to replace her. They certainly her over the last half an hour or so penny mordant m. P. For portsmouth on the south coast has been named the new International Development secretary if you remember anything about penny more than its this she is a keen for break city as she campaigned very much like pretty battell did to leave the European Union and for theresa may of this crucial time when negotiations to leave the wall stalling in brussels its important that the Prime Minister gets the balance right in her own cabinet so a reliable safe pair of hands i think to replace pretty paternal but as i mentioned there in that report the Prime Minister faces crises upon crisis whether it be Sexual Misconduct scandals affecting senior members within the conservative party whether it be Boris Johnson the foreign minister who has made statements that could well end up seeing a British National jailed in iran jailed for a further five years things are the. Omen dont look as if they can get much much worse and its going to be a real priority for to reason made to make sure that she fights fires before any new crises begins exactly is there because it feels like it looking from the outside in may of is there a genuine chance this government could fall here because the repercussions of that not just for the u. K. But for for brussels for the break that issue enormous ordinarily any one of these crises could unsettle and if they were allowed to escalate could completely unseat a government there are multiple multiple problems from various different angles that are affecting teresa mayes ability to lead at the moment domestically her own government is somewhat divided over breaks in the party most certainly is and on top of that he also has to face this p. R. Nightmare of being able to deal with the fallout of these various sexual scandals and so on and so forth and the view from brussels is one of great consternation they are viewing from across the the other side of the English Channel a government that appears to be slipping increasingly and further and further into internal crisis its also going to have a knock on effect on ongoing negotiations if by the end of this month going into the start of december no progress has been made on key issues to do with the border between the republic of ireland and Northern Ireland the exit of the bill that britain has to pay leaving the e. U. In the states of e. U. Nationals here then it could well see any hope of Immediate Progress being pushed even further back and thats exactly what a reason may doesnt want to see she made promises to deliver on brakes it is looking increasingly unlikely given the current Political Climate that shes going to be able to do that or extraordinary stuff isnt made barkha outside the houses of parliament in london thank you. Leah i mentioned the multi media circus and i say that because you have the usual helicopters in the sky watching the car pretty patels car on the ground but before that its right well its been a fun one to follow literally along with about twenty two thousand other people that were following pretty patels flight from nairobi to london they were using flight tracker to do so you could do it here people tweeting about it along the way thats an eight hour flight people were commenting about it like i said the whole time watching it play out really like a movie it went on so long that people started using the hash tag has pretty landed yet one person saying its not often u. K. Politics are more entertaining than kenyan politics but here we are one u. K. Tabloids headline reads its pretty shambolic the Prime Minister forced to sack second cabinet member in a week her name was also trending in israel with many thanking her for trying to get more funding for the military folks in gaza also got involved here tweeting that i would like to ask patel to take a holiday in gaza see for herself what the Israeli Occupation has done to us no water food or electricity nothing comes in or out a modern day ghetto for two Million People thanks to the army she would like to fund jonah here then said that being allowed to resign rather than being sacked is an absolute joke the government is in shambles may has no power to tell she tweeted just a few hours ago thanking people saying an enormous thank you to friends colleagues constituents and the public for support and kindness youve shown me over the last few days but her bio on twitter has not changed yet she still says that shes a member of parliament put in with a six in britain first and quite ironically she says shes always working but we want to know what you think of this story if youve been following along with her flight or the headlines be sure to get in touch with us with the hash tag aging is critical thank you for that leah here a lot of well having. Whats going on right or a danger here interesting the kenyan politician the opposition politician who was running for president been pulled out of the polls in washington d. C. Of the center for strategic and International Studies talking about the state of kenya at the moment all right lets go to london here is sue tertian with more International News for us and so i ask him all the syrian army says its now in control of the eastern city of. I still find as we drew the border town was one of the last remaining pockets of territory in syria held by the armed group iraqi fighters with the Syrian Government have been pushing into become all from the from both sides of the border city i saw has been losing ground rapidly since its self declared capital rocka was recaptured by Syrian Rebels in october thats on the range of eight has more from gaziantep on the turkish syrian border. Weve heard from the Syrian Military spokesman that they have taken full control of the city of and to come out the last remaining stronghold on the syrian side of the border of one what was the sense to get california of the Islamic State of iraq and then the bombed out what is happening on the ground according to syrian media and hezbollah media as well are being the Lebanese Group just spearheading these operations backed by the Syrian Forces is that they have been squeezing in from the eastern bank of and he said iraqi forces from the western side have been coming in and theyre circled the city moved in and removed all ice and fighters according to them there was stiff resistance and they killed scores of fighters but according to other monitors isis fighters were given of safe passage and they fled to other areas in the vast desert into iraq and today resort where there are small pockets of isis fighters and remaining in these areas which are not governed open told by any side what this means is that isis has now lost control of all urban areas went once controlled on either side of the border it does not mean that all eyes and fighters have been removed or killed there will be some fighting that will continue analysts say that icing might resort to guerrilla type tactics as weve seen elsewhere in iraq when such moves in territory its pockets then carry out attacks on the security post and other areas but what does that this does mean is that the propaganda used to use the word caliphate which found over the borders of iraq and syria is no more. Economy in or out kurdish region has been hit hard following its referendum on iraq a Central Government has closed the kurds. Away and theres been fighting between iraqi forces and the Kurdish Peshmerga a cease fire is now in place but a Stephanie Decker report some to hook a still uncertain say over the regions future. The fresh air and serenity of these mountains usually attract kinds of visitors not just kurds but tourists from baghdad and elsewhere in iraq the bustling Mountain Resorts which would still be busy at this time of year are empty this ancient cave turned cafe used to be packed with customers and not anymore the pursuit of one on one with the referendum iraqi forces and shia militias attack the push rebel forces from that time business has been very bad because now iraqi forces are standing against the peshmerga all the borders locality has with iraq and all the connecting roads have been cut. Business travelers are also staying away its been noticeable in every city weve traveled through hotels are virtually empty. Imagine khalid used to run sixty to seventy rooms a day now its ten if that he says the situation has never been this bad. Both our airports for International Flights have been suspended by baghdad when a businessman wants to come to kurdistan from turkey for example he doesnt take the land road kurdistan is saif but when people see media reports theyre frightened every day we see different reports about issues with the border crossings and i dont think businessmen will take the risk. To hercs general director for tourism says visitor numbers are down eighty percent and investment in the region is also shrinking due to the current situation. After military action and the decisions made by the iraqi Prime Minister about twenty five Hotels Motels and Restaurant Owners had to close their doors in less than a month in the province because they were not able to make ends meet this is all due to baghdads actions its not a good move from there. People here have lost faith in those they consider to be their allies especially the United States they say they simply take yes on illegally nonbinding piece of paper but the message the referendum on secession sent means the kurds of Northern Iraq now feel abandoned and completely isolated and they say the consequences for them appear far from over Stephanie Decker aljazeera into her province. Saudi arabia has detained two hundred one people as part of what it calls an Anti Corruption crackdown the saudi attorney general says officials are investigating the misuse of one hundred billion dollars in corruption about seven hundred Bank Accounts have been frozen and saudi Authorities Say they will be confiscating money. Held dozens of royal family members officials and prominent business men have been detained since the dr was announced on saturday. Pappa new guinea has warned it will use force if necessary to evict six hundred refugees who are refusing to leave a decommissioned Detention Camp australia shut down the camp on man a silent last week the refugees have been told to leave by thursday but they barricaded themselves in fear for their safety happening again he says conditions are not hygiene and the people must go Amnesty International has criticised the warning saying the refugees need access to end and running water. Thats it from a find out about to come all and thank you so just a few comments before we hit the break plenty of you commenting on the latest gulf crisis story to do with the u. A. E. Apparently wanting to take the world cup away from qatar chris on twitter said should take the u. A. E. On if these investigations prove positive because this is complete corruption also on yemen we havent actually brought you that story its coming in the next part of the show a lot of people asking is check here on facebook saying how long will saudi arabia bomb yemen if they cant beat the rebels for three years nearly even when will they and that asking why is the International Community failing to stop all of this things or we are going to look we are all going to look at after the break for those of you watching us on Facebook Live theres something for you if youre thinking of updating your phone your mobile phone one company says dont already did and then on the news groups recovering from trauma a look at the psychological support that young refugees are receiving back in second. How the changing seasons becoming apparent now in the satellite gives the first clue theres been clouds streaming across in the event and more recently north inside iraq of two of the caucuses its mostly just dropped a little bit of rain in the temperatures for a while and following it on the sun comes out into the low twentys in the lap of beirut for example still near thirty in baghdad the same down towards q eight until around hasnt really changed now for weeks in my memory well two showers around the caspian sea a possible and system still active enough and in the high ground just to the north of iraq to produce more showers all of rain i would think at this time of the year for the south Arabian Peninsula generally speaking is driving this hint of cloud just coming towards qatar could produce the old shower first part i just think of it is dry loesch humidity low thirtys temperature wise the cloud has increased has brought rain recently so as to soar katra island and the horn of africa i think for the coast of amman yemen theres a possibility of seeing a few spots or right in the next day or so but i tend to be going away in Southern Africa is sticking actually a bit more active than i thought it was going to curling into the western cape and obvious system to cape town and most of the south all south africa. News has never been more available its a constant barrage of it with every day but the message is a simplistic you have the phrase good logical rational people versus crazy monsters and misinformation is rife dismissal and does not go over well documented accusations and evidence is part of genocide the listening post provides a critical counterpoint challenging Mainstream Media narratives at this time on aljazeera. Aljazeera. Where ever you are. In the top ten. For probably yemen as well which well be looking at five if you include is a big story in this part of the world comprehensive coverage. On the grid we look back at the events in the last year since donald trump became the us president today there are new figures out showing that in those twelve months sixty percent of the state departments top management have quit and applications to work dropped by fifty percent as well the American ForeignService Association says the state department is in a state of collapse actually at a time when of Course International issues north korea the gulf crisis and many more. Stage but just have a listen to this it was just one of dont trump many interviews with a Fox News Channel in the u. S. Where the president pretty much dismissed any concerns about the state department. Your state Department Still has some fill positions are you worried that the state department doesnt have enough donald trump nominees in there to push your vision through because other state departments including reagans at times undermined his agenda and there there is a concern that the state department currently is undermining our agenda so we dont need all the people that they want you know im a business person and i tell my people you dont need to fill slots dont fill them but we have some people that im not happy with their parents are not getting that id say but let me tell you the one that matters is me im the only one that matters because when it comes to it thats what the policy is going to be youve seen that youve seen it strongly. And fisher about this in washington d. C. Donald trump says the only one that matters him i guess that is a perfect sign of America First as well so maybe its not a surprise that the state department doesnt have as much emphasis on the moment but still a lot of jobs lost. Well theres real concern and youve got to put this in context when you talk about losing career. Theres only been a handful since one nine hundred fifty five there were five on the staff of the state Department Three resigned that gives you the sixty percent figure but there is a concern not just at the top of the state department but all the way through the ranks that theyre losing experienced people who are leaving because they dont want to work in the state department they dont want to work for this administration and they are walking away and what is being lost is not only that experience but also the institutional memory of how theyve handled things in the past of things of what and things that havent and of course the big concern is the numbers of people that are being recruited because in fifteen twenty years time they will be the people at the top of the tree and so there is deep concern at that level as well i know someone who worked at a very high level in the state department and i asked him if people were interested in walking in there and he said they simply dont want to be close to what they see as a Dumpster FireRex Tillerson says this is all about cutting costs its all about not filling the posts as they go along but Barbara Stephenson who is the ambassador who has raised this issue said youve got to wonder why theyre doing this why america is abdicating its position to influence events around the world and who is in touch who is behind that and that will be the important question that perhaps a senate and congress will ask in the days and weeks to come here because its a big risk isnt it alan even if and as i said it before we know that there is that America First policy but the rest of the world still looks to the United States for Global Leadership on the big issues and if the state departments not a strong as it was that sends a sends a message to the rest of the world that the United States isnt terribly interested. Exactly and the senate has already said look theyre concerned that theyre up to getting the responsibility on the global stage james mattis who is the defense secretary of course you all know that donald trump refers to him by his all nickname mad dog and the shutters every time that that happens almost he said he would much rather see any dispute be resolved diplomatically than have to send soldiers in there and this is a man whos commanded soldiers in battle so he knows the real impact of that so he is very much in favor of spending as much money as you need on state craft on diplomacy and the state Department Rather than spending on the military and that is a part of well the Barbara Stevenson has made in this letter to people of the diplomatic corps saying look if you had denoted at the capitated is the word that she had used the military in this country at such a level there would be a huge public outcry and youre doing exactly the same thing to the Diplomatic Service only it seems to be flying under the radar or shes decided that thats no longer going to be the case and shes going to be one of the people speaking out and saying look anough weve got to start filling these posts with people that can do the job may well be donald trump doesnt want to see and weve seen this before people who opposed him going into the election not getting places in the state department but the reality is a lot of people who had served in the state department spoke against donald trump the saw him as a danger to american state craft so he maybe has to get over that to make sure that all these ports can be filled and american get back to doing the job that Many American people expect them to do on the world stage alan fischer in washington d. C. Thank you for that. Now yet another warning about the deteriorating situation in yemen the u. N. And aid groups as well as saying millions of people face starvation and death unless saudi arabia lifts its blockade which is preventing aid from getting into the country yemen is essentially a forgotten war we do our best to make sure it does stay in the headlines but after two and a half years of war and so many other global crises as well it doesnt always happen that way it is the Saudi Led Coalition fighting the hooghly rebels in yemen who are backed by iran lot of finger pointing going on as well riyadh says to her and is destroying attempts to end the war but the saudi backed government wont enter into dialogue those pictures really tell a story though about who suffers the the everyday people the children as well and that suffering illness malnourishment its shocking and the uns take is that it can only get worse have a listen he will not be lying to the family and. We saw in south sudan earlier in the year where tens of thousands of people were affected he will not be like the family in which cost two hundred fifty thousand people their lives in somalia in twenty eleven. It will be the largest famine in the world to see for many decades with millions of victims. Well the u. N. Estimates almost twenty one million yemenis are in need of humanitarian assistance ten thousand people have been killed in this conflict and more than seven million dont have adequate food health water and sanitation two thirds of yemen depends on imported supplies its also been hit by color outbreak with some nine hundred thousand suspected cases since april were going to talk to. Us now director of operations at save the children the charity in yemen joining us on the line from i mean the name of your charity says it all save the children it is children who are being so terribly affected by this why is it do you think that there isnt as much International Action over yemen is there is over other global issues. Well i mean currently like yemen its one of the biggest humanitarian crisis in the word and more than as you correctly munch and two third of the population is in dire need for at least seventeen Million People are in need for Food Assistance and more than half a million children under the age of five im feeling monetarist and more vulnerable to disease is like on there and of course over two thousand come from death cases you can call that outbreak so of course all the humanitarian efforts are there to kind of try and get by the suffering and you this the suffering but if located with the continuation of this conflict its very difficult for us as a humanitarian. Community with our limited capacity and the lack of access to supplies with a skewed accounts trains and so on so forth to address the needs that hes needed been working nation whats it going to take russia with just as were talking here were looking at pictures of starving children here suffering weve seen this type of thing in so many countries for decades now and it keeps happening whats going to take do you think for for the International Community to wake up. Well of course i mean in this case of t. M. I.
