paris and london have issued a joint statement demanding that saudi arabia clarifies the circumstances of the german stance for the first time german chancellor Angela Merkel said that she backs a freeze on arms sales to the kingdom. As well as some of the alternatives first we condemn this act in the strongest terms. There is an urgent need to clarify what happened with this issue is far from having been cleared out and those responsible are still not held accountable. Because i agree with all those who say that the already limited arms exports can continue and the situation were currently and. Starts in. On the name them all bricks and. Or add four more Political Correspondent kate brady is joining me now in studio kate so saudi arabia is the second biggest by of german arms we know that not even begin conflict has been
a deterrent in terms of that relationship do you think that this is going to be the final stroll and it certainly is looking that way in saudi arabia when it comes to germanys arms exports is quite an exception there is in fact a part in included in the Current Coalition government contract which states that germany would not export any arms to countries involved in the yemen conflict with the exception of any deals that were made before this coalition was formed earlier this year but it does seem with the kind of rhetoric that were hearing from merkel and other cabinet members including the German Foreign minister it does seem that this could indeed be the final straw all right so we now have from saudi arabia the riyadh sais that yes he did die in a fistfight inside its consulate in istanbul theyve said that the crown Prince Mohammed bin silent knew nothing about that germany and other western powers theyve not quite bought into that heavy they certainly havent and already just
over the weekend weve had now a joint statement from germany from. The u. K. Demanding an urgent clarification of exactly what happened and until that day a demand in the explanation needs to be backed by credible facts and so we can expect i think to see more action and more coordinated action in response to whats going on right now merkels already said today as well that she would continue to be in contact with her International Partners when it comes to a coordinated response lets talk about the relationship between germany and saudi arabia Going Forward whats likely to develop in that regard well it really is quite interesting that german and Saudi Arabian diplomatic ties only really thought. Just earlier this year and germany and saudi arabia returned to their ambassadors and just in september they had actually gone through some long months of rather
faustina really frosty relations due to some comments made by the former German Foreign minister and so all of that work to rebuild could now be we could see that actually forming flat now that the of course it was actually the former Foreign Minister gabriele who made some comments which was interpreted as criticism of saudi arabia an interference in Lebanese Affairs and so but its now the current Foreign Minister who has been working in recent months to rebuild that relationship with saudi arabia but if the response that we see now from saudi arabia isnt to the satisfaction of merkel and of the Western European powers we could see that relationship to to write in once again right. Political correspondent kate brady thank you for your insights u. S. President donald trump has told reporters that the u. S.
