And one time ally Ali Abdullah Saleh accusing him of treason. Unearned taylor this is our jazeera live from london also coming up a desperate bid for a better life in europe repeated again and again an exclusive report on the plight of hundreds of migrants living in the great port of patra. A day that began with hope and ends in disappointment wrecks it talks stall once again. And years of communist government in the democratic republic of congo is accused of recruiting former rebel fighters to crackdown on protests. And the first of the war in yemen where another bloody chapter has been turned plunging the country further into chaos the man who ruled the country for more than thirty three years and who just a few days ago switched sides in the war has been killed by hooty rebels the very fighters he just turned his back on a few hours after his death who do money who see major Live Television dress describing a solid demise as a victory against treason or yemens internationally recognized president hadi has also spoken out he called on the people of yemen to unite against the who sees more not a moment but first this report from him. A sudden end for one of yemens most powerful men who the rebels say they killed ousted president aliyev delish sala during an attack on his convoy. His remains were packed on the back of a pickup truck in a televised statement the leader of the who the said salo was involved in a conspiracy with the Saudi Led Coalition to take over well. What are the reasons behind this new transfer to the other side suddenly you took the egresses against your own people salah had been and an alliance with the iranian backed for more than two years together they controlled the capital sanaa and fought against the Saudi Led Coalition which supports the internationally recognized government led by months or heidi but this partnership with the collapse last week sparking major confrontations between salis forces. And the rebels after days of running street battles salah announced he was ready for dialogue with the Saudi Led Coalition if it ended its blockade of yemen sports and airports and allowed for more humanitarian aid yemen is already a failed state its a state where there is no Central Government there is a true sense of failed most of the structures of failed the economy has failed the war has further destructive it destroyed the entire country so i think in the in the short run we are in for a lot more violence. And the who pushed out how does government in january two thousand and fifteen and set up their own administration prompting the saudi led campaign against them since then the country has been split between the who the rebels in the north ministration in the south and the forces loyal to solid wood fighting began among the former allies its part fears of a new front in the war a war which has already killed nearly ten thousand people pushed yemen to the brink of mass starvation and triggered what the United Nations has called the worlds worst humanitarian crisis and there have been multiple investigations about the atrocities being committed in all. Parties are guilty whether its the whole thing whether its the Saudi Led Coalition and you know the u. K. And the u. S. Are largely complicit in this war as well through the billions and billions of dollars worth of arms sales to to the saudis. As yemens president saleh ruled for more than three decades until he was forced to resign during the arab spring uprising that he was able to remain in the country and continue to wield enormous power behind the scenes its not yet clear what his death will mean for the fighting on the ground or yemens future in. The last few hours yemens internationally recognized president. Made a televised address he called on yemenis to rise off against the hooty forces. And i call upon all of you with an open heart and a strong will to turn the new page and to get rid of such a nightmare lets put our hands together to end the control of these criminal gangs and to build a new united yemen. The u. N. Says fighting and sounding loud ass trikes have now intensified in sun up with many streets blocked by tanks humanitarian operations including flights to and from the capital have been suspended the un has called for a pause in the fighting on tuesday to help civilians caught up in the violence it is paramount that civilians are protected that the wounded or for that safe access to medical care and that all sides facilitate life saving humanitarian access we remind all parties. We remind all parties to the conflict that deliberate attacks against civilians and against civilian and medical infrastructure or clear violations of International Humanitarian law may constitute war crimes. The Gulf Cooperation Council is currently meeting in kuwait where the developments from neighboring yemen are taking the spotlight from other regional issues including the blockade on cutter mamma jem jhoom has more from the summit in kuwait city. Will news out of yemen further complicate an already complicated scenario at this years g. C. C. Summit in kuwait now there was a meeting several hours ago attended by Foreign Ministers of the g. C. C. Countries in fact not all Foreign Ministers of the g. C. C. Countries where the foreign minister of the u. A. E. And the foreign minister of beheading were not in attendance lower level ministers from both those countries were there in their stead know if ishall statement was issued after that meeting especially in regard to yemen but clearly the issue of yemen after the killing of Abdullah Saleh the former president of yemen that must certainly be on the minds of all those in attendance here because it brings more volatility into a region that is already extremely volatile and especially in light of the g. C. C. Crisis that embargo against but that has lasted now six months that was supposed to be the thing that was really at the forefront of these talks in fact there had been some hopes that perhaps the fact that this summit was actually taking place might foretell that perhaps there was going to be a breakthrough during this summit perhaps an end to that crisis still a lot of questions as to that many analysts actually believed that this summit would not be taking place as originally planned that perhaps it would be delayed perhaps it would be rescheduled or canceled altogether the fact of the matter is now we are told that is happening although it is still unclear who all will actually be in attendance when the summit starts on december fifth and ends on december sixth all of the leaders were not sure which of the leaders exactly will be there other than of course the leader of kuwait the emir of kuwait shifts a lot in the emir of qatar shift to meet him but the other leaders were still unclear as to who will be here now all of this really just going to show just how complicated a situation it is this year how much the g. C. C. Will have to deal with the fact that this news emerging out of yemen will only complicate things shows that this just brings more instability into a region where things are already very unstable. Iona craig is a journalist who has that report from yemen for twenty ten she joins us as a skype for cheltenham in the u. K. To do you think the supporters of cell a will outline ways. And well right now i think theyre probably scrambling to queue themselves in for safety really because the who these are going to is going to be actually hunting them down im sure and so on are and theyre going to as you said be looking for somebody to rally around of course sallys son is is out of the country in the u. A. E. Potentially he could be a figure that they rally around but not on the ground in yemen right now so. I think it will be looked at in the earlier i. Im not sure if we can still hear these last iona craig there to iron if you can still hear me and when sally turned against the who sees his former allies into thinking misjudged their power i think that was always going to come a time when there was going to be a split but i think that time probably came in earlier than any of the last fall anticipated and thats what proved catastrophic for him certainly the whose hes had spent a lot of time over the last two and a half years consolidating their power and when i was in samarra just in october they were they were very bold just about that they had seen that they actually swallowed up a lot of the power to keep within the military of solid supporters who are in fact that they claim switched and were now supporting that and and certainly what appears to be the case and so on are at the last few days if they quite clearly have the upper hand so what about the internationally recognized president had these calls for people to rise up against the who sees how much traction will that have. Well i think those not going to be it amount of confidence to do that now given what has happened but that you have got asylum today and any attempt by people to do that will be that will be a huge crackdown by the who it is now seeking to hunt out anybody whos been seen to support so are they or was involved in any way in the fighting over the last five or six days and so on are so its going to be incredibly hard for that to happen and unless there is significant support particularly on the ground i think now from Coalition Forces thats unlikely to happen given the response that the world we now from the u. K. Is to anybody who tries to stand against them in the capital and what about the reaction from from south of the Saudi Led Coalition in this situation what you think theyre going to do. Well i think the problem here is that obviously flipping against the who and calling for people to rise up against them with a view of doing a deal with that with the coalition was their main playing was their main game of getting out of this war really and that of of his obviously spectacular backfired whats likely to happen now is a very harsh response from the bush in the form of airstrikes theres talk obviously of troop movements but what will materialize from that at the moment remains to be seen but certainly the main way that the saudi polish and how theyre getting themselves out of this war that door has now been closed and i think itll be a long time yet before the who things will indeed agree to a kind of deal or even to talks now with the coalition depending on what happens in the coming days really are in the form of fighting and violence now this is more a direct war between the who are these and the Saudi Coalition iona craig thank you very much indeed for your thoughts on the subject and apologies for quoting that line. Well Ali Abdullah Saleh led yemen as we said for more than thirty years he was a master of shifting alliances playing both sides as well as switching between them what of that hamid looks back at his eventful life. He once said that ruling yemen is like dancing on a snakes head and no one knew that dance better than Ali Abdullah Saleh mastering every step throughout his three decades in power. Believed only he could hold the country together but his legacy is one of corruption war and i deeply divided poor nation. Born in one thousand nine hundred eighty two as a young man he joined the army and rose to the rank of qana before taking part in a coup that later saw him become president of what was then north yemen at the age of thirty six for the next decade he oversaw fighting with the communist south the decline of the soviet union weakened his enemies and in one nine hundred ninety north and south yemen became one country with the last as its first president that same year iraqs leader Saddam Hussein a longtime close ally ordered the invasion of kuwait at the Un Security Council yemen voted against the use of force prompting the us to cut off millions in aid and i thank president for his strong support a decade later he was welcomed back by the west in october two thousand and attack on the american warship u. S. S. Cole off the shores of yemen killed seventeen sailors and injured thirty nine others washington understood that silence a secular leader and yemen we important in the socalled global war against terror he won friends and cash but did little to fix yemens internal problems. Rebellion in the north and a separatist movement in the south critics say that more than a dancer salah was a dark horse of yemens to mulches politics playing off military and tribes to keep himself in power. The toughest challenge came in two thousand and eleven the arab spring was sweeping across the middle east. Inspired by tunisia and egypt yemenis filled the streets protesting against poverty unemployment and demanding for regime change but they sent was something some never tolerated. Yemenis stood for even when the protests turned violent a few months later injured in a rocket attack on his compound saleh was flown to saudi arabia for treatment his face burned and hands bandaged he appeared on t. V. Defiant as ever but this was a week a president abandoned by his political allies at home and under intense International Pressure to hand over power with yemen on the brink of civil war gulf countries brokered a deal that so power transferred to his deputy ive the rebel monsoor heady in return for solace immunity from prosecution after ten months of protests many yemenis were celebrating his ousting even though the country was in tatters but Ali Abdullah Saleh had merely gone into the shadows we heard sing the next step in his snake dance and nearly three years later saleh was again at the forefront with a strong of support of the army he allied himself with the iranian backed who sees rebels they shared a common enemy his successor heading in two thousand and fifteen a Saudi Led Coalition started a military campaign to restore headed to power and imposed a blockade over the country but the snake charmer was losing direction just a few days before his death turned his back against ruthies signaling a possible return to the arab form it was meant to be another great survival act but it turned out to be his last for the. Irony is an official with a history led supreme political counsel he joins me live on the phone from santa thank you for being with us can you first of all tell us whats happening right now in the capital after we heard about those tanks on the streets whats the situation there now.

The Prime Minister called to ignore a small party from Northern Ireland who give her that majority in parliament these unionists are opposed to concessions on the irish border which they fear could undermine Northern Irelands future in the United Kingdom.
