so the latest in a series of war crimes committed by the sound you lead coalition. it is a sign of desperation, you know, from the, the saudi coalition side. and, you know, when they enter this one, they decided to launch this war. and yeah, man, you know, they promised to know that they will bring back their proxies or their clients to power. you know, within 3 weeks, 7 years have passed and they have not been able to achieve any of their objectives . they failed consistently to bring an end to this war. in fact, their intervention has only complicated an already complicate to situation political situation in, in yemen, there has been no, no accountability whatsoever since the start of this war. it's a failure from the not only do an estate side, but the, the permanent members of the school to counsel the realities that all the 5 members instead of cooperating to try and find a way on how to compel the saudis to end the war in yemen. and compelled the yamini sides in order to enter in good faith in a political process. you know, to end this strife um, they in fact have been competing for lucrative contracts with sod, ravia and the o e. um, so the highest body in the world and united nations, this us go to cancel it. the members have not been, have not played, i'm afraid. a positive role in the last few years. a, now the world news, the us and russia has what they say are frank talks, i say, trying to resolve their sand out for the ukraine. masculine says nato should not let ukraine join the military alliance that's been rejected by washington. it's european allies and natal. i ration to build up on the ukranian border, has healed weeks have tension and race years of a conflict. natasha battle every force from geneva at a hotel in geneva, the u. s. secretary of state and russian foreign minister arrived for crucial talks . ain't it diffusing tensions over ukraine?

because as you said, this affects less than you know, total and chevron pull out effects less than 5 percent believe of the natural gas revenue or the gym to receives and total itself is said, it would handover its interest to other stakeholders. what else needs to happen then to ensure that gas revenues don't continued to fund the military's activities to have a real impact? well, the thing is that they can pull back. but then the problem is that the, if the, the military is still receiving money from either channel, not just only from server and to tall, then it's mean that the military still has the income from other countries, which going to be a whole lot of money. and that is why i am say they literally have to cut of the receiving of the payment by uh uh for the military only then they probably lost about a $1000000.00 a year, which is put a lot of money for that bonus military. and that is when they're going to lose the fund that can, can, can allow them to buy further. all kinds of sophisticated, strong weapons that there have been using to kill the people on daily basis. right now we've seen civil disobedience movements in myanmar since the military call and is fight this of repression has continues. just tell us about the human rights situation right now. how worse has it become?
