President ial campaign. Alero im saying this is al jazeera live from london also coming up the sound he Led Coalition is accused of the highest number of child deaths in yemen. Sending reinforcements after a violent gun battle between rival groups of migrants in cali also. The father of three of the our enough is Abuse Victims trying to attack the former u. S. A genetic stopped as he appears in court. U. S. Congress has released a memo accusing the f. B. I. Of abusing its power in its investigations into Donald Trumps president ial campaign the white house the classified them. Which had been commissioned by the republican devon newness the memo alleges the f. B. I. Used unsubstantiated evidence to spy on a trump aint jump and called it an absolute disgrace whilst democrats say the memo is aimed at de railing investigations into alleged links between the trump president ial campaign and russia. I think the man i think its terrible you want to know the truth i think its a disgrace whats going on in this country i think its a disgrace the memo was sent to congress it was declassified congress will do whatever theyre going to do but i think its a disgrace whats happening in our country and when you look at that and you see that and so many other things whats going on. A lot of people should be ashamed of themselves and much worse than that so i sent it over to congress they will do what they are going to do whatever they do is find it was declassified. Lets see what happens while our White House Correspondent kimberly how can joins me live i came away what struck you about that the content on the tenor of this memo. Well if it is highly partisan there is no question given the fact that this was author of or rather authored by republicans it certainly highlights what it believes is misuse of the feis Intelligence Surveillance act or rather the feis accord for an ok just trust me. Alleging that its an abuse of powers that were entrusted to the highest Law Enforcement officials essentially weve had a wing in by the former f. B. I. Director james comey who believes that this is dishonest and misleading he is reacting to that i think what what is really clear about all of this is that the most newsy part of this memo a lot of it we already knew but these sensually that the intelligence that was provided was not only open source but that its essence it was intelligence that was funded first by democrats and then by republicans essentially the claim being made by republicans is that. The highest levels of intelligence have been politicized and certainly there is some evidence to support that but at the same time there is another memo out there and that is the one authored by democrats and that hasnt been released so youre left with kind of a feeling that youve only seen part of the picture it does feel like its a tussle a political tussle between democrats and republicans so behind the scenes when you mention the memo what is happening with the democrats and an attempt to push back and indeed also weve been hearing from from certain republicans. Right there are many people that are gravely concerned that the political size ation of this process wasnt just occurring during the twenty sixteen president ial campaign but its continuing to be misused for political purposes not just by perhaps Law Enforcement agencies but those that are supposed to be conducting oversight namely the House Intelligence Committee that currently is controlled by republicans and so thats why were only seeing a republican memo but could after the midterm elections be controlled by democrats we simply dont know but democrats are certainly voicing their concern about this process saying that it is shameful it discredits and undermines the special counsel Robert Muller spro and so there are efforts now by both republicans and democrats to perhaps put in place legislation to ensure that that is able to maintain its own egg integrity and this is certainly insulated from these continued political attacks many thanks kimberly how capering is the latest there from outside the white house. Is there or has obtained a u. N. Report which says the sound of that coalition has the greatest responsibility for the deaths of dozens of children in yemen last summer he says Coalition Airstrikes were responsible for the killing of sixty eight children and the wounding of thirty six of those from july to september the report found there were twenty to thirty coalition rates every day some targeting schools and homes it also points the finger who see rebels blaming them for the deaths of eighteen children and for wounding twenty nine of those reports.

N. Blames through the rebels for the deaths of eighteen children and wounding twenty nine others the u. N. Describes whats going on in yemen as the worst manmade humanitarian crisis in the world and the conflict is making an already dire situation even worse its not just affecting to modernise affecting everyone i mean its affecting seventy five percent of the Population Center concern is that as long as complete continues we are going to see more. Secure were also going to see more money carrying needs and rights as well. The United Nations Childrens Fund also known as unicef says more than five thousand children have been killed or injured in the war an average of five children a day since the conflict escalated in march two thousand and fifteen unicef also says that more than eleven million children are in need of humanitarian assistance and nearly two million children are suffering from acute malnutrition recent outbreaks of diptheria following the worlds worst cholera epidemic have further threatened more young lives aid workers say the International Community must do more to stop the conflict it is astounding to me that we have a United Nations Security Council that has not commented on yemen in now more than seven months. That the scale of suffering in yemen is incomparable and we have twenty two Million People in need a west picking to families who are fleeing their homes because of violence and constructing houses out of plastic bags with a political solution looking likely any time soon many worry that already suffering children will be exposed to even more violence and trauma how much does either.
