When will the world stop failing the people of Yemen?

Tawakkol Karman accuses Saudi Arabia and the UAE of committing war crimes in Yemen and we debate Brexit.

Tawakkol Karman: Mohammed bin Salman "is a criminal"

The US House of Representatives voted on Thursday to end US support for the Saudi-UAE war in Yemen. But the White House has signalled that US President Donald Trump will likely veto the measure.

A Saudi-led coalition, allied with the internationally recognised government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, has been fighting Houthi rebels since 2015. Aid groups estimate as many as 60,000 civilians have been killed and an additional 85,000 children may have starved to death.

Why are children being used as soldiers in Yemen?

Both pro-government forces and Houthis are accused of enlisting children to fight.

The port city of Hudaida is under attack.

An United Nations report obtained exclusively by Al Jazeera details child victims worldwide. It found that at least 1,300 children were killed and maimed in Yemen last year.

The UN says Saudi-led coalition's air attacks were responsible for more than half of child deaths and injuries.

While Houthi fighters were responsible for the killing of 83 children, the rest of the casualties were blamed on Yemen's pro-government forces and Al-Qaeda.

Both the Houthis and coalition forces are accused of recruiting child soldiers - numbering some 842 with many as young as 11.

Can the GCC still be relevant?

The ongoing Gulf rift is not the first crisis to hit the bloc, but what is the impact going to be this time around?

The Gulf Cooperation Council is in its worst crisis ever after three of its six members cut ties with Qatar.

The Emir of Kuwait was in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday and in the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday.

He is plane-hopping around the Arabian Peninsula, hoping to mediate in what's being called the Qatar Crisis.

Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE, as well as Egypt, have severed ties with Qatar, closing land and sea borders and airspace.

They say Qatar is supporting "extremist groups" in Iraq and Syria, which Qatar strongly denies.

They have also had disagreements over its alleged ties with the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.
