Has seen some of the worst fighting in the country civil war which began four years ago. Well the conflict has pushed yemen to the brink of Famine Malnutrition is widespread aid agencies have described the crisis is entirely manmade well have more on the outcome of the speech talks in sweden but first this report. Cries of pain like this are commonplace in yemen. Two million children under five a severely malnourished. And. What have these children that they have to suffer so much were all suffering life is tough here disease spreading children are starving including those who are at school. And in the days four hundred thousand
children in yemen will die if they dont get Urgent MedicalCare Hospitals that are relatively well equipped like this one in santa a few and far between outside the capital the situation is dire parents have to transport the desperately Sick Children often hundreds of kilometers to get help and i also learned my daughter started throwing up and had diarrhea so we come all the way from ties to sana to get her treated. It was just an ego. In rebel held areas of the country theres a sense of skepticism but also hope about the peace talks in stockholm civilians are desperate for the conflict that has been depleting the population figures to finally come to an end and. I expect the negotiations to be conducted seriously. If they follow the political situation on t. V. Its clear that there is a seriousness when it comes to finding
a solution for yemen. In the government held south of the country people are also hoping for peace that the south receives military support from saudi arabia humanitarian aid remains very limited the u. N.

After six months of nearly daily bombardment and continuous fighting for date it was a city that was literally dying the ceasefire that the u. N. Secretary general has Just Announced and that the parties to the conflict at the greet is going to change all of this the Two Hundred Thousand civilians who have remained in danger routes are now free from the daily fear of shelling and airstrikes and unbarred and were also relieved because the port of predated which is the like line for northern even will be open and secure and functional right now there are twenty Million People in england who are hungry the United Nations is providing food to Eight Million of those people and we know we have to do more and thats why were going to be scaling up and providing food to Twelve Million will be pretty that food being mostly through the port of data and this is another reason why this cease fire is so welcome and so important and were looking at some of it shows off. Antonia good to see you and sekret general and some of the key members in those peace talks tell us what else has been agreed at those talks
because this conflict in yemen has been going on for four years. The parties to the completive been discussing a wide range of issues and that includes Economic Issues this is very important because the Food Insecurity crisis in the country did create them conditions that were witnessing the majority of those are linked to condi theyre linked to the fact that sounds Seventy Eight percent of people servants produce yours now theyre linked to the recent depreciation of the currency their links restrictions on importers all of these issues were discussed during the recent talks in stockholm the status of the airports were discussed and the steps that have to follow place in this tragic and terrible that all of this has been looked at in the past we were very anxious for the next round of talks to occur the fighting in yemen has had an enormous civilian toll there are millions of people who have been brought to the brink of famine because of this war and this is why its so important so urgent
that the war stop and stop now we have to see what comes out in the second round of talks if you discuss the political framework but right now it does sound like a bit of a breakthrough for the people of yemen these a gun to resit humanitarian coordinator for the u. N. Thank you very much for joining us from santa british Prime Minister to resign me is in brussels shes there to lobby e. U. Leaders for help she survived a Confidence Vote on posse on wednesday the tourism it left London Office cut of conservative dont make us reduce support of a controversial brics a d she first has talks with irish Prime Minister about she seeking assurances that would help sell the deal to parliament thats just weeks before the Chamber Needs to approve a deal to prevent a disorderly exit from the European Union but. Im pleased. Now lets take
a listen to what the reason he had to say soon after she arrived at the summit. Well first of all can i just say a word about yesterday which was a difficult day and im grateful for the significant support i had from colleagues but ive also had the concerns of those who didnt kill able to support me and i know the concerns of all in the House Of Commons about this issue of the box office and that they do not want it to be permanent and what ill be talking to european leaders about here today is about what i think is we need to get this deal into the law and ive already met me over at cover im going to be addressing the European Council later and i will be showing the legal and political assurances that i believe we need to assuage the concerns that members of parliament have on this issue and i know the twenty seven would also be discussing the g. O. P. Planning and indeed the government in the u. K. Is discussing their geo planning but i think its ive always said to the best
arrangement for everybody for both the u. K. And the us to agree a deal and get this deal into the line. That was to resent me speaking in brussels and from guzzles our correspondent joins me you know we just heard a what a prime city tourism me said tell us more about what shes hoping to get from the e. U. Leaders that. To resume a arrived here and was received with kiss a hark and a promise from luxembourgs Prime Minister battle what he said is we are ready to help now what kind of help is she looking for a while shes looking for a game changer here and a game changer for her could be a legally binding promise that the backstop is only temporary the backstop being the guarantee for the u. S. Particularly for the Republic Of Ireland that there will be no hard border in the north or in Northern Ireland between Northern Ireland and the Republic Of Ireland how will she get there i have my doubts for the e. U. Its pretty clear they want a guarantee and they want an insurance and insurance is no longer valid if there is a time ticket on it even if it could run out so in the lead up to this summit and your what even leader has been saying about this socalled Backstop Issue which seems to be so critical for tourism here. What reason may today has already met the Prime Minister the tee shot of the Republic Of Ireland and a number of leaders who arrived here as well said look this is actually a good deal that is on the table beef made concessions the fact stop is an essential part of it and for particularly for island it is a nonnegotiable there will be back so it will remain and if you have a legally. If you have a time limit on it its no longer valid so that is not an option if she wants a political guarantee that this is really only an insurance well that she can get today. In brussels at the heart of all the action there thank you very much for
