The extent of israels continued restrictions on the entry of aid into gaza, together with the manner in which it continues to conduct hostilities, may amount to the use of starvation as a method of war, which.

Yeman continues to carry out naval mill. Operations against israel as well as the us and uk in waters around the country.

In this edition, yemens army says it has targeted an American Ship. In the red sea and fired missiles at israeli positions as it keeps up a retaliatory operations against the us and israel. The neighbor forces of the yemani armed forces carried out the targeting operation against the American Ship mado in the red sea with number of suitable naval missiles. The Missile Forces also launched a number of winked messiles at israeli targets in the omal rashrash area in southern. Occupied palestine that thanks to allah have successfully hit their targets, yah sorry, the spokesman for yemens armed forces vowed yemen will continue operations until the genocidal onslot on gaza stops. The Yemeni Armed Forces have repeatedly attacked israeli linked ships in waters around the country an attempt to get the regime to stop the genocide of gazans. Recently, they have also target. American and british ships in retaliation for the two countries aggression against yemen. The us and its allies have accused yemen of attacking global commercial shipping. The Un Security Council on monday issued a statement condemning yemeny attacks on commercial vessels in the red sea. Yemens Foreign Ministry reacted to that saying that the unsc move reflects the body submission to americas interests and its support for the israeli genocide and it also blasted the council for its inaction towards the daily massacre of palestinians. To discuss that further, were joined by mr. Hussein albukhaiti, activist and political commentator who is joining us live from sun. We also have with us miss kim sharif, yemy activist and lawyer who is joining us from london. Lets begin with mr. Buhati, thank you very much for joining. Us please give us more details about these attacks and lets not forget that this was definitely something that the uh zionist entity did not uh count in its equations when it started the war the genocidal war on gaza yeah i mean this is exactly what happened because when yemany has taken action and declared war against israel because of its genocide in gaza there is. Israeli regime did not expect that any country will actually do anything for the Palestinian People, because for since the occupation of palestine and since the killing, especially the people of gaza, many arab nation actually has uh stayed quiet and they havent done anything, on the top of that actually they are allowing israel to avoid the blue cate formed in in the red sea or the gulf of eden by allowing ship to reach United Arab Emirate port and then they transport all the goods that israeli. Regime needed through trucks from United Arab Emirates through saudi arabia, jordan and then to the occupied palestine, thats why uh this action from yemen is actually have a great pressure against the Israeli Regime, we have heard the latest report from ilat port and the manager of that port have said that he hasnt seen such closure of the of the port of elat since he began his work there about 20 years ago the the ilat port has lost 90 of its work or its capacity is is almost you can say its closed and this actually add cost to the Israeli Regime and to their economy because their ship actually they are. Going through uh uh the cave of good hope, but we have seen the latest report of uh leader of ansarullah, he said that they will expand the attack to target israeli linked ship or israeli ship in the indian ocean, so by that action actually they will block the israeli ship from going around the the cape of good hope. Thank you very much, mr. Lets bring in our guest from london m sharif uh now how far do you think this can go uh at the beginning we . Realized that they try to downplay uh these attacks, now its becoming more and more serious and us and british ships are also being targeted. Yes, good afternoon to you, and uh, this will go as far as its necessary, as far as im aware from the authorities in sanha, they are adomant that they will continue their campaign against those who have committed an act of aggression and war crimes against the state of yemen, that is britain and the us in their uh uh. Bombing campaign against yemen at the moment amounts to an act of aggression which wasnt authorized by their respective parliaments in any event, they they they started the campaign and then they went and and sought a retrospective approval, which in any event doesnt make any sense and and i dont think the people of the of the countries involved are not uh approve approving of this act of aggression against the state of yemen. There is a duty to uphold the rule of law that is uh that goes without saying the eye icj said that this the design regime must take every step necessary to prevent the genocide occurring, but no one has done anything to uphold that rule of law, except yemen, of course, and of course yemen is within its right to stand up and do that, and going to the Security Council and and badmouthing the uh yemani authorities and passing uh resolutions doesnt make any sense because it is highly unlikely to be obeyed, respected and regarded with any integrity simply because because people are asking in the world today, which Un Security Council resolution against the zianist entity was ever upheld or enforced . Very important question, so are you suggesting that there is one rule for some and another for others . Are you suggesting that you are colonialist, imperialist, slave owning entities that want to control the world . Thats a very important question as well. Thank you very much, miss kim. Sharif yeameni activist and lawyer joining us live from london and also mr. Hussein albukaiti activist in political commentator. Thanks for joining us on this edition of the news review and sharing your thoughts and views with us and thanks to all of you viewers for following this edition of the news review.

Turkish foreign minister hakkam fidan says turkey and iraq will cooperate on securing turkeys southern border. Fidan said that iraq went through. Challenging period for the past two decades and the chaotic situation in the country allowed the Kurdistan Workers Party pkk militant group to expand its presence and activities. He added that ankara has been working on eliminating the groups presence and now it is going to draw a plan that involves the Iraqi Government. On march 14th the minister led a delegation to iraq where discussions were held on cooperation in the fields of security, military and counterterrorism. Organization, no country conducts dialogue with the terrorist organization. Turkey wants to crown its military successes with a parallel political dialogue and has a will to end the terrorism issue once and for all through military, intelligence and political coordination with iraq. Baghdad announced lately that the Kurdistan Workers Party is an unwelcome organization and this is a political success for turkey. Iraqs government ban on the Kurdistan Workers Party pkk comes ahead of an expected visit. By turkish president rajap Tayib Erdogan next month. Ankaras statement about increasing security along its southern border comes as iraq has so far failed to designate the pkk as terrorist organization and only banned the Group Despite turkeys attempts. Rashan saglam, press tv, istanbul. And over to the uk where a growing number of mps, predominantly from the conservatives have announced that they will not stand in the next general. Election, which is yet to be called. From london sipura reports on why. Earlier this month, the maiden head constituency in southeast england woke up to the resignation of its conservative mp of 27 years, former Prime Minister teresa may. Hers was one of up to 100 other wellestablished as well as younger mps across the political parties, announcing they wouldnt be running in the yet to be announced next general. Scottish nationalist party member martin daye explains why so many are choosing to go, for for some its just age, theyve reached retirement age and theyre going, for others uh theyve got family commitments and they want to do that or the things without their lives, but for some its the toxic nature of politics, its the toxic nature on social media where theyre being trolled, and for some theyre actually being physically stopped and threatened with violence. One mp, caroline lucas, the parliaments only green mp of 14 years has cited the dysfunctionality of parliament as her reason. This parliament has always been dysfunctional. I think, perhaps one of the benefits of social media and modern television is that we see it more. Um, its not fit for the this 24th century. I dont think it was the 20th century. Its a victorian construct and it worked in their day. It doesnt work in our day. We should have electronic voting, we should have proportional representation systems and we shouldnt have an unelected second chamber. But while. Design nations are not uncommon ahead of a general election, it is different this time round, at least as far as the ruling tories are concerned. Well, youve heard the phrase rats deserting a sinking ship, clearly the tory ship is sinking, and thats why so many of them are jumping overboard and seeking refuge elsewhere. Britains will vote in local elections in may, the tories are 26 points behind the Opposition Labor Party in opinion polls. Pressure is growing on. Minister rishi sunak to call Early National vote. As it stands, there wont be a general election in may, but one in the second half of the year seems more likely. Nevertheless, catastrophic results in the upcoming local elections could mean that rishi sunak and his conservative party is days in power are numbered. Saipur is up press tv, london.
