the saudi led coalition intervened in yemen almost three years ago to counter the opposition fight as riyadh considers them terrorists seeking to overthrow the yemeni government the u.n. has described the conflict as the worst manmade humanitarian crisis in modern history and we spoke to the former head of the red cross in yemen who explained just how much needs to be done to help that country. it's a problem with a structural collapse of the system in yemen you have problems of water you have problems of sanitation we in the international red cross we try to fix those problems otherwise there would maybe not be any running water and so on anymore so there is no doubt that what is coming into the country at the moment is not enough and more should be done you money to and aid is to some to a large extent allowed in but the problem is that more is needed to ensure a decent level of life for the population i am afraid that this is becoming a feature of some of the conflicts you know some of the conflict where i work at the begin of my career were very poor country there were poor before the wa

joe weigh in on that there because it is you know is this policy being driven by television riyadh well certainly riyadh and other gulf states from the very beginning and turkey wanted the overthrow of saud and that brings me to the point that whether you agree or like the assad government or not it's a fact that they were been on the defensive this is an uprising this was an attempt to overthrow a government so you're on the defensive so to invite iran in and russia to help them defend themselves is a natural act of a government trying to survive this was not iran or russia invading syria the iranians would have come in if there were no attempt to overthrow the government so they they have every right as you pointed out to invite whoever they are any friends they had to help them survive this is natural and any government would do that now the israelis i mean hezbollah by the way i think is defending lebanon even lebanese christians and they don't know who would agree with as much as they hate they may hate that well they may not like them but they.

joe weigh in on that there because it is you know is this policy being driven by tell of even riyadh. well certainly riyadh and other gulf states from the very beginning and turkey wanted the overthrow of saud and that brings me to the point that whether you agree or like the assad government or not it's a fact that they were been on the defensive this is an uprising this was an attempt to overthrow a government so you're on the defensive so to invite iran n. and russia to help them defend themselves is a natural act of a government trying to survive this was not iran or russia invading syria of the iranians wouldn't come in if there were no attempt to overthrow the government so they they have every right as you pointed out to invite whoever they are any friends they had to help them survive this is not true and any government would do that now the israelis i mean hezbollah by the way i think is defending lebanon even lebanese christians and they don't know who would agree with much as they hate they may hate that well they may not like them but they realize that the lebanese army is

a last stronghold after aleppo and it led so i think that that is really zation in the capitals of riyadh and certainly in washington that this was the last and by the rebels themselves this was the last chance if they were going to try to reverse this tide so the rebels needed to bring the u.s. into it which is why it seems like they may very well have been behind and russia by the way behind this attack on russia warned by the way three weeks ago that this could very this could happen that there was a false flag chemical attack in the works i don't know if that's what happened but i certainly don't know that the syrian government did it but that doesn't seem to matter to people at nikki haley's syria did it and now we're going to see an attempt maybe by the united states to get deeply involved in this to reverse the tide and this is the last chance before the syrian government wins this war which they are on the verge of doing richard what national interest does syria hold because i mean you know when trump came almost exactly a year ago there was an alleged chemical incident and then h

chemicals any hidden stockpile or anything so that that still remains an open question but dr walker riyadh talking here about the upholding of a major global norm on the prohibition of the use of chemical weapons on their clearest signs here that one of the parties jaish al islam an al qaeda affiliate beach was accused by amnesty international off using chemical weapons against the kurds in two thousand and sixteen these parties clearly involved in manipulating the evidence to create the impression that chemical weapons were used if it's ok for them to use children's corpses like dad do you think they would really think twice about using chlorine for real given how easily available it is you know chlorine is very sensible it's not banned necessary it's not banned at all in the chemical weapons convention but it is banned any chemicals banned of it's used as a weapon and no matter what it is. you know talk and he talks and he talks a chemical. peel ation of these pictures your question and i. say again i think they can be manipulated but i think it's still useful to see some of these these

secretary of state he underlined not only here in amman but also in tel aviv and earlier in riyadh that actually still hasn't been to his office but he came on this mideast through the overarching the most important i think when it comes to the americans at the moment is to have a united front among the gulf countries when it comes to iran and i think he had very stern messages there towards saudi arabia and the u.a.e. saying you have to solve the issue with qatar and then the second main issue being of course syria and it sounds biased his words at least at least the way he's putting it that the israeli palestinian conflict might not be as important as the at the moment as it is for example for de jordanian and did my pump i mean he spoke about iran growing influence in the region what's the jordanian assessment on iran. well it certainly. doesn't speak very much. when it comes to iran that has the same worries it is aligned with saudi arabia so certainly those concerns out there those concerns are there all throughout the middle east that actually iran is gaining more and more territo
