E. U. Fining google for 10 of googles earnings. German cup manager resigns. Hello, a warm welcome to the program. As saudi arabia keeps up its defensive against the Houthi Rebels the former president Ali Abdullah Saleh has asked for safe passage out of the country. Forces loyal to saleh have been helping the houthis. The rebels are accused of ran random randomly shelling the area. But of course, its the people of yemen who are really suffering. At least five cargo slips carrying muchneeded food are stuck off yemen as the coalition searches them for weapons. They threaten to create Food Shortages. In the message it seems that saleh has actually told the gcc leaders via his envoy that he has no ties whatsoever with the houthis, and that hes not part of this war and hes not supporting the houthis. Of course, this contradicts what he has said earlier when he sent his son with the same offer but with conditions at that time. Now saleh has no conditions. When he sent his son he said during t

On mideast analyst will be on set to talk about the political significance for all the warring sides. First, we have this report. Islamic state militants posted a video of their assault on palmeiro.

Moment. Welcome. I am mark rosella the International Affairs here at George Mason University and we are delighted to have mark bone here to do a presentation based on his latest book which i had the pleasure to read in draft form and we talked about it at length. It is excellent work. I am thrilled that he is here to make a presentation based on the research he has done in his six years as does well in the situation room at the white house. I am first going to introduce my colleague, the director of our center for politics and Foreign Relations than he is going to make the formal introduction or speaker.
