Tens of thousands have died in Yemen as a Saudi-led bombing campaign continues to fuel a devastating civil war. And the U.S. has been fueling military efforts by Saudi Arabia in this four year conflict.

This hour, we ask Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy what are the next steps to address this humanitarian crisis, now that the senate has failed to override the president’s veto of a resolution to end American involvement in the war?

We also talk with a former ambassador to Yemen about the roots of the conflict. And we hear from the president of Save the Children about the physical and mental toll of the war on a generation of children in Yemen—where an estimated 85 thousand children may have died of starvation.

And we also get the latest from Wethersfield, Connecticut where dashcam footage from a fatal police shooting was released in early May.
