when i missile was fired from yemen towards riyadh's king khan and international airport and another missile targeted the southwest of the country before it was intercepted on december the first thing ten monegan has more. this is the moment hooty fire ballistic missile was apparently shot down by saudi forces the yemen based to peace a they were targeting the al your mama royal palace which is west of the capital riyadh a large group of saudi leaders were meeting there at the time including king solomon and crown prince mohammed bin salma i think they were these wanted to make a statement that they're still up and running and that they're still fighting despite the fact that you know in recent days and weeks they have been allegation that there were these are we can buy this. and that they possibly you know would not be able to shoot missiles further into territory but they proved otherwise the missile attack happened just hours before saudi arabia was due to announce its annual budget as well as members of the world family senior ministers were also expected to attend a social media post from a government agency confirmed a missile had been intercepted but no casualties were reported. the saudi the coalition which has been conducting air strikes again to the fighters in yemen for nearly three years for tell you did with more strikes in the southern part of the capital sanaa speaking on the group's t.v. channel who the leader. said the missile attack marks one thousand days since the war in yemen started. today and two missile was launched. last in the heart of three city of saudi arabia this is our answer to them and the whole world the more crimes you perpetrated the more to renig. you will meet nothing but more missiles. this isn't the first missile attack on saudi arabia in november. the international airport in riyadh was narrowly missed in the strike the saudi government has accused regional rival iran of smuggling missiles and technology to be an allegation to run tonight. the war in yemen has created what the u.n. describes as the world's worst humanitarian crisis since the start of the conflict at least ten thousand civilians have been killed and millions are on the brink of famine and as the fighting continues many fear the situation on the ground could get worse since monohan al jazeera well the un security council has been discussing whether iran is complying with the twenty fifty nuclear agreements the missile launch from yemen featured in that debate to mike hanna has more from the u.n. headquarters in new york. the secretary general affirmed that iran was in full compliance with its commitment to non-nuclear proliferation under the joint comprehensive plan of action endorsed by resolution twenty two thirty one but he raised questions about the possibility that iran was moving conventional weapons across his border and concerns expressed by some of the security council members were told to mr and by bronco looking at your future it would like to express its particular concern over the information and evidence connected with iran's supply of weapons and missiles to militias with the encouraging them to use those weapons to target neighboring countries the us ambassador was adamant that the missiles recently fired at saudi targets were of it raining in our region including the most recent well we don't yet have sufficient insight into this particular attack it bears all the hallmarks of previous attacks using a rainy and provided weapons it is only a matter of time before one of these missiles hits the target the secretary general said that the origin of the missiles is under investigation and the security council will be briefed at what he called the appropriate time but the russian ambassador was adamant that the u.n. is not empowered to monitor iran's development or deployment of conventional non-nuclear weapons moving was deliberately to pneumonia we once again need to draw your attention to the practice of the secretariat conducting investigations investigations for which the secretary has neither the authority nor the expertise such actions carried out without the prior consent of the security council and not legitimate and the information obtained in the course of such actions cannot be considered accurate and cannot be part of the report the russian ambassador rejected the u.s. suggestion that the joint comprehensive plan. action be renegotiated to include conventional weapons something that iran continues to insist it will not do the scene is set for vigorous debate among security council members in the days ahead well earlier on tuesday iran condemned the u.s. for accusing it of supplying the missile fired into saudi arabia from yemen last month so iran summoned the swiss ambassador who represents u.s. interests in iran to pass on the message describe the allegation made by the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley as irresponsible and provocative meanwhile the saudi led military coalition fighting in yemen is being accused of killing at least one hundred thirty six civilians in just ten days the u.n. says they died between december sixth and december the sixteenth these are the incidents the u.n. was able to verify so the number of casualties because the higher one attack involved seven era strikes on a prison in sanaa last week where forty five detainees were killed and the u.n. has once again warned that yemen is facing the world's worst humanitarian crisis and is calling for the saudi led blockade on the country to be completely lifted yemen is the the largest food insecurity crisis in the world recent humanitarian needs overviews identified almost eighteen million people who are in need of support food wise the prognosis is not good. the blockade is not fully completely lifted. and no work is no reduce the taken away then the results and pushing back on call and pushing back on famine over the last six months will be lost. a procedural error is forcing the u.s. house of representatives to vote again on a contentious one and a half trillion dollar tax reform bill will do so on wednesday earlier the bill easily passed the republican controlled house bringing president donald trump one step closer to his first major legislative victory. but soon afterwards senate officials that cleared the three items in the massive bill violate senate rules the senate is going ahead with the debate that's taking place right now it's expected to vote on the bill soon this is one of the most important pieces of legislation that congress has passed in decades to help the american worker to help grow the american economy this is profound change and this is change that is going to put our country on the right path well the bill is the biggest overhaul of the u.s. tax system in three decades it cuts the corporate tax rate permanently from thirty five to twenty one percent most permanent personal taxation rates will also reduce but not permanently child tax credit raises meaning around an extra three hundred dollars a child for families earning between twenty five and forty thousand dollars a year but the bill does little for those earning less than this it also includes loopholes for getting around estate taxes or so-called death taxes gave his own dough has more. shortly after the house of representatives passed this historic tax overhaul it just came out very shortly after that there were several provisions the didn't meet house budget rules essential eve the republicans didn't cross all their t's and dot all their eyes when they rushed this bill forward and so the now it's going to have to be voted on again come wednesday but let's be very clear there are no indications that this is going to change the vote in any way shape or form this is essentially an embarrassing technical mistake by the republicans to push this forward now the big picture here is that this bill assuming it is passed as we expect that it will be is a big win for president donald trump because it's the first legislative win since he's become president and it's also the republicans say historic in nature that these corporate tax cuts they say will eventually trickle down to lower class and middle class americans and spur economic growth for years if not decades to come that's the spin from the republicans however the vast majority of americans are against this tax overhaul according to recent polls and that's because they look at this bill as favoring the wealthy the top one percent of the income earners in america and corporate america that's already very wealthy are getting the biggest tax breaks while working class americans they're just getting a little bit and what they do get will not be permanent it will only last for a few years so there's certainly a lot of consternation here by working class americans that are looking at this and they're saying we really don't think that this tax overhaul is going to benefit us in the long term nevertheless the republicans have pushed forward with it and it appears like this will go forward. five people have died during violent protests in this semi autonomous kurdish region in northern iraq eighty people were also wounded in the demonstrations which took place in the town. and there have also

basically children families who are preparing for a reunion this coming christmas here in samarra now would poke into people on the ground who say what they would like to see though an immediate response in terms of aid in terms of clothing medicine and food because that's really fast running out so what are the inmate what do they make of the government's response and how prepared worth the government for the. well this again the big question because if you actually look at the. clearly that have already been should have been considered a danger zone and there should have been forced evacuation of those civilians of course local officials if they did think. that they should leave as you know you've always been bogged down by natural disasters one of the most powerful by the country happened right here. which left more than eight thousand people dead and since then from two thousand and thirteen until now a lot of efforts to do rehab indication has been done by both the government of aquino and their day but the question really is the reactiveness of government when it comes to disaster preparation it's not so much on the emergency response it's how to strengthen

should acknowledge to us the loss of our family members caused by an act of terror the chancellor did hold her first meeting with the families on monday and had this statement after the minute's silence. for me and i'm speaking on behalf of the entire government we will work to improve or didn't go well and do everything humanly possible not only to ensure safety but also to give those whose
