Us legislation has been introduced to stop a 23000000000. 00 weapons sale to the United Arab Emirates. The move is seeking to hold the president all trumps. Deal to sell, reaper drones, f. 35. 00 fighter aircraft, and air to air missiles to the u. A. E. Senators say the sale was rushed and threatens a potential arms race in the middle east. Well, lets speak to georgia okeeffe. Yeta, hes c. E. O. Of gulf state homiletics. Thats a geopolitical Risk Consulting firm, focusing on the arabian peninsula. He joins us now from washington. D. C. , george, i see this is a very much a bipartisan move by senators. And does that reflect the level of concern in congress about the speed of all this . There are definitely concerns in congress on both sides of the partisan divide here in washington, in relation to this very, very large arms sale to the United Arab Emirates. This is just one issue thats making this transition from the Trump Administration to the Biden Administration. Very difficult, very controversial. There are Major Concerns about this going on with a lame duck president. Right now. Major concerns from lawmakers of both Political Parties about this having potential to exacerbate instability and violence in the middle east during a very sensitive time in the region. Kelly a lot of domestic concerns than if this did go ahead. This would be by my understanding the 2nd largest ever sale of us trying to a single country also a significant amount of past. And it was also apparently a key negotiator, some point for the u. A. E. When they normalize ties with israel. So can you talk us through what the Foreign Policy implications might be had . Well, yes, so one of the reasons why there is a significant amount of concern in washington about this arms deal and a city with the fact that the United Arab Emirates is quite involved in not only yemen, but also libya. Amorality Foreign Policy views of the these 2 conflicts has been quite controversial. If were being very frank, the United Arab Emirates does not exactly have an excellent human rights record. So there are many who think that this development could do a lot to exacerbate many of the problems in yemen and libya. It could also ratchet up the tensions in relation to iraq on many are also pointing out the fact that the u. A. E. Is one of the countries blockading qatar. So the ways in which this could impact the balance of power in the middle east. Obviously, very relevant to the discussions that we have here in washington. But i think its important to point out that it doesnt really seem likely that congress will be able to stop this from happening. It seems that this is one of numerous issues where the Trump Administration is very aggressively pushing ahead with its agenda during its remaining weeks in our own. What would be the timeline as you say, not many weeks out from the new administration. What does this mean fed by them as, as president well, biden is going to come to power in january with many, many difficult issues that he has to deal with. And i think what the Trump Administration wants to do, you know, there was a c. N. N. Article that said this, that the trumpet ministration is trying to create as many fires as possible for the incoming administration. Now obviously the United Arab Emirates is an important partner of the United States. A close cooperation between the u. S. In the u. A. E. Took place long before trump came into office, and its going to continue into the biden presidency in the u. A. E. His decision to normalize its relations with israel is very popular with lawmakers on both sides of the partisan divide. So. d you know, biden is going to continue working with the u. A. E. And its going to be a country with advanced military capacities because of what the trumpet ministration is doing. Now during this transition period. But the Biden Administration, i think, is also going to try to pressure the u. A. E. Into pursuing a less of a maximalist and less of a hockey Foreign Policy. There are some areas where the u. A. E. Is taking action that is counter to the interests of the United States. We see this in relation to the blockade of qatar or the arming of our in libya as well as some other issues. So i think it will make it a little more difficult for the Biden Administration to try to put the brakes on that. And thats quite a our thoughts hang on to that. Thats a big thank you. How large crowds have gathered an argentine as capitol, supporting a push by the president that would legalize abortion . The move has reopened a controversial debate in the last the catholic country. After some of the assets failed trees about reports from one us air, it was a Campaign Promise made by president albert of the farmland is vowing to change the strict abortion laws in argentina. This week he sent a proposal to congress to legalize the procedure activists celebrated, but they know theres a tough battle ahead of them at minimum have not had we believe we have to be on the streets to continue with the sea of green as we see it because we cannot be defeated again in the sun, and we dont know how many senators will vote. In some cases they may adopt their decision to the situation on the street. So we need to be here. Abortion is only legal in argentina in cases of rape, or if a womans lives is at risk. Im in 2018. A bill was passed in the lower house but failed to get Senate Approval on the issue of the controversial issues in the catholic country. And there are some sectors of Society Without a home, but this is what many here say that youre sick of it happening in the family way. And thats why thousands of women are hospitalized. Every year. Most of those women do not for to go to robert. Dr. And end up trying to terminate their pregnancies in back room to see jersey get out and say for an equal human Rights Groups say, legalizing abortion is a matter of public health. And thats why theyre pushing all fortys to take action by turning public buildings green. The color that has come to represent the call to legalize abortion in latin america for some legislator are already say that they are, they are in favor of abortion, some policies there. Maybe they dont fight against abortion and its ok. We know who they are. Its ok, but some of his they are doubting and we are trying to topple both who are doubting in order that the bomb means then to solve them. How we can board banker and then be nice to finally have the big, nice, a family face on a far more fun. If you are the only latin american countries that permeate pregnancies to be terminated in the 1st weeks, they really know argentina would allow women to have an abortion during the 1st 14 weeks of pregnancy. The measure is also accompanied by a 1000 days surance policy that will assist women who want to have their babies. But the bill faces strong opposition, especially from the catholic church. Both francis compared having an abortion to hiring a hit man, and many in the country agree an orderly. Once again, they are taking abortion law. They want to tell us abortion is the solution for poverty in argentina. And we ask all good argentinians to do what they can on the streets, to pressure legislators to oppose the bill. The abortion law cannot make it to congress. The law is likely to be debated in december during an extra sessions. These people say they remain on the streets, pressuring congress to legalize abortion, and helping women to get the treatment they desperately need. It is how will this easier appears . Prime minister says his troops are nearing victory over forces in the world and a region that has refused International Calls for mediation. Federal troops launched an offensive against the tigre, a Peoples Liberation front. Earlier this month. Aid is now starting to arrive at refugee camps in sudan along its border with ethiopia. Thousands have been crossing over into that area over the last 2 weeks fighting and fleeing the fighting. And where as ever, morgan reports from the eastern state of god, a race, many of them have gone for days without food. More than a week after the arrival of refugees to this cabin, the body of the 1st apply of food aid is starting to trickle. And also flour and oil is rationed out between the families whove come here. Hundreds lined up to receive their share. Most like some family you have left their children back in shelters and withstand scorching sun while they wait. They are desperate. Perhaps it is our love that then i challenge that with me. Now. Im glad that aid organizations have started distributing food. A lot of people were going hungry. Some of us had gone for 2 or 3 days without food. There was a whole day that my kids and i went without any food, but now with aid here we can have meals. Its been 10 days since i came here from a country. And in those 10 days we havent eaten proper meals. We are hungry and we have small children to feed. Now we are going to get some food. And we think god for that, because over the past 10 days we didnt receive anything. We hope they bring more because this will not be enough for the many families here.

They come from the region in northern ethiopia, where the government has launched an offensive more than 50000. 00 have fled to neighboring sudan since the start of the conflict, including to state aid organizations say thousands more. Integrate are facing a dire humanitarian situation with this government imposing a Communications Blackout and blocking access to the region. Many refugees arriving at the Sudanese Border are exhausted and hungry. So far, most of the food for the refugees has come from local communities around the border points and refugee camps. But the communities themselves face economic hardships, as sudan, battle soaring market prices, and the number of those crossing the border to escape the fighting into gray is rising. Many who said theyve gone for days without food. Now have something to eat. But the country, the refugees are arriving too has its own set of problems, including a state of emergency floods in september damaged many roads. And that is now one during a delivery. So the challenge is to remain there, but what were doing is that we have enough food in stocks in the country have beat. I wasnt able really to pull on food from other areas where we had surpluses to try to prepare food here as we speak right now. We have about enough food 46270000 people already here on site. And these are distributed, of course, which of course, under god if as well where we are right now, theyre refugees dont know how long they will remain in the camps. For now they just please to be safe and have food for their families. He will morgan aljazeera and for of out of state.
