This is bbc world news america. Questions are raised about the saudi airstrikes in yemen. The bbc hears evidence of civilians paying a deadly toll. Im surrounded here by people coming up, telling me that they, their families, the relatives, their children are killed in air strikes. Jane amateur footage captures the moment when a crane collapses in mecca killing dozens when it crashed into the grand mosque. In his words come to life blackandwhite and white. We speak with South African artist will William Kentridge about his new show. Jane welcome to our viewers on Public Television in america and around the globe. Yemeniths now, the capital has been pounded by sau di airstrikes. Backed by the west, want to reinstate the president and while a new round of peace talks had been announced by the u. N. All previous attempts to end the conflict have felt have failed. Our correspondent is in yemen to see the impact of the strikes. His report does contain disturbing images. Reporter its a city under siege. Six months of bombing, airstrikes day in, day o u t. The campaign is led by saudi arabia and backed by the west. The main shopping street, a missile has gone straight to the roof of a residential block. Three people were killed here, including a mother and a young daughter. No neighborhood is safe. Screaming. Oo much all of the building is full of families. Full of families. Reporter towards the saudi border the bombing is more intense. Weve heard reports of deliberate attacks on civilians, attacks that could amount to war crimes. He worked at a water bottling plant. 10 days ago he had dinner with his parents and his brother. Then the two brothers set off for the night shift. Can you tell me what happened . We meet the manager. The fact he was hit by an airstrike, he tells me. The owner showed us a list of those that were working that night. More than half were killed. 13 in total, including ahmad and his brother. This was asay weapons factory and the Training Camp for african mercenaries. We saw absolutely no evidence of that. One of the workers picks up a bottle. Is this a missile . Did you hear that . That was an airstrike. We could definitely hear the sound coming from over that way. All of this is happening not only with the full support of the International Community and of approval of the United Nations but also with the enthusiastic support of britain and of the the United States who not only are continue to sell weapons to saudi arabia as they have offices inside the Coalition High command. The plant is not the only example. The saudis denied it was a coalition missile that struck the city, a unesco World Heritage site. Whatever it was that destroyed these historic buildings, we do know what military hardware the Saudi Air Force is using, maybe americanmade f15s and british made tornadoes and typhoons dropping bombs supplied by the u. S. And the u. K. Its difficult to argue that a weapon being sold to saudi arabia would not be used in yemen. It enables the country to use other weapons in yemen. So we clearly know that is happening. There is evidence of personal support in terms of supporting the air force and the army here. Reporter the scale of the crisis is huge. On top of the blockade and the airstrikes, there have been months of fierce fighting between the two sides. A million and a half people have fled their homes seeking shelter in makeshift camps. Half the population of yemen does not know where their next meal will come from. Leavesrced to pick the off thorn bushes to feed her four children. You grind it up with water. It is better than starving to death, she says. The family is here because of the airstrikes further north nowhere is safe. In july, missile landed near their tent. She, four months pregnant, miscarried. Hunbhe says, she fears more than bonds she fears hunger more than bonds. Reporter reporter diligently targeting civilians in refugee camps or elsewhere, is a war crime. Surrounded here by people coming the other telling me that their family, the relatives and children were killed in saudi airstrikes. There is no end to the witnesses here. A week after the airstrikes on the bottling plant, we meant to meet went to meet his parents. Mohammed was the family breadwinner. Ahmad a typical 13yearold. Ibrahim described hearing the blast at the bottling plant. How they searched through the rubble of the bought for the bodies of their sons. Their severed limbs together in a plastic bag. Reporter whoever did this to us, the father said, may god repay them. Not everyone here supports the airstriket with every in every civilian death, resistance to the saudis and the ir allies is growing. A statement the British Government says the u. K. Is supportive of Saudi Led Coalition military intervention that came at the request of the president. As part of the present that support, the u. K. Offering one of the most rigorous and transparent export control regimes in the world. Statement continues, the u. K. Government has always been clear that any action, including military, must be in accordance with International Human law. For more on the Campaign Underway and the potential for any peace talks, i spoke with stephen, who formerly served as the u. S. Ambassador to yemen. Thank you very much, indeed for joining me. As we just heard in that report, it seems that these airstrikes are actually turning resistance against the Saudi Coalition and therefore, western allies such as the u. S. How damaging could this be . Steve i think this is got to be a natural reaction to what has been going on now for six months. March 26 was the start day of the air campaign. It has gone on relentlessly since then. There are 1. 4 million internally displaced yemenis, over 4000 casualties and 10,000 refugees. The humanitarian dimensions are appalling. I think it has to have a reaction among the people. It will erode support for what the saudis have to do have tried to do. High number of casualties and the disturbing suspicions of war crimes, is this a coalition the u. S. Should be part of . Steve the u. S. Joined at the beginning in march because it they were afraid that they would have less influence on trying to direct the actions of the saudi allies. I think the u. S. Government was in a bit of a pickle. They saw they were getting on the train in trying to help the engineer move towards the proper destination. I am not sure they are able to influence this sufficiently. Jane can this conflict be resolved by force . Stevee absolutely not. What we are seeing now is diminishing returns. The longer this goes on, the saudis concluded the airstrikes alone are not going to be sufficient which is why they have introduced ground forces. Up to 10,000. Maybe even egyptians, although that is not clear, either. They realize they cannot do this only light air. By air. That has a very disturbing consequence. If they look at the capital as the next target and they seem to be talking about that after these peace talks not succeeding, they will look at the capital. Jane lets talk about the peace talks. At the moment, both sides, the Houthi Rebels and the government says they will attend. What chance of success . Steve there has to be some real commitment on the part of both parties to offer concessions. Not just sit there and say this pis my precondition. The president that who is consisting on compliance or commitment to compliance with the u. N. Resolution says that the houthis has to vacate all the areas they have seized, is a precondition. Im not so sure that houthis will agree with that. To make that a precondition for getting in the door, that may be asking a bit much. Jane so, chances of success not very high . Steve i have a lot of faith in the u. N. Envoy. This is a terrible situation and the only way to get out of it is through negotiations. Jane thank you very much for joining me.
