In yemen saudi fighter jets of bomb some 9 following a who theater time on the airport in the saudi city of early on wednesday the Spokesman Says a Cruise Missile was used to target hangars which led to traffic being halted at the airport who things have launched repeated s. Trying. Meanwhile yemens u. N. Recognized government says its back in charge of aden after a brave offensive against southern separatists the separatists withdrew from several positions 2 weeks after taking control Victoria Gates and every force on the 2. 2 Yemeni Forces loyal to the internationally recognized government of president added Robin Mansell heidi celebrate victory in 8 in the president ial palace. In a sudden offensive lasting just a few hours saudi backed Government Forces recaptured control of the city from the u. A. E. Backed separatist fighter is the governments offensive started on choose day in yemens east in abyan province by wednesday mooning its forces were on the outskirts of aden. As they retook the push towards the center of the city its reported they faced little resistance from the separatist fighters thats led some to conclude a deal was done between saudi arabia and the u. A. E. Ahead of a possible negotiation to end the war its a. Cheap tactic immoral cheap tactic by the legitimate government who is. Using sleeper cells to activate them and to to cause chaos in the city all in. 4 or negotiations. Separate is from the Southern Transitional council a part of the saudi u. A. E. Coalition thats fighting against these bought in a dramatic twist 2 weeks ago. They took over the city of aden the seat of the saudi backed Yemeni Government some of the separatist fighters are refusing to surrender the governments want civilians to avoid military camps and areas where this fighting. At least. Were evacuated. By the. 1000000000 area we do expect the most. Random shooting at a random but bartley that. Yemen has not always been one country north and south yemen came together in 1990 after years of conflict but its not been an easy union and the war is deepening the divide Victoria Gate and be out there. And u. S. Secretary of state my home pale has met with Deputy Defense minister has been summoned to discuss a resolution to the dispute in aden the u. S. State Department Released a statement saying the secretary and the minister agreed that dialogue represents the only way to achieve a stable unified and prosperous yemen the secretary and the minister also discussed a broad range of bilateral and regional issues including the need for a stronger Maritime Security in order to promote freedom of navigation the iranian regimes destabilizing activities in the region and human rights of more and those that saw speak to 5. Is a non resident scholar at the middle east institute in the us and is also a former congressional fazli so at the many embassy in washington thank you so much for being with us on aljazeera 1st of all what do you make of these developments in aden this had threatened to open a new front in what is an already very complex war is it good news of the Government Back forces are reclaiming control of the city. Perhaps its too soon to say that this is all over because the Southern Transitional council have called their forces to mobilize and come regain. Control of the cities again and actually maybe 5 or 6 hours ago its been reported that the Southern Transitional council forces have also acclaimed the airport so i think this collation on the tension still remains and its still a volatile situation at the moment what is it going to take for hardees government to have full control of aden and the south as a whole i mean the consul secession didnt really start with this war they go way back what can the government do to address the secessionists consents. And the the government simply would need to talk to the succession us and find a way to include them in perhaps even for the government to resume its full full functionality in the south of yemen part of the grievance that the southerners have aired before is that the government of yemen has been stationed in riyadh for a very long time and that as such they havent really taken care of Public Services they havent really delivered they havent even delivered on security thats why it was so easy for the Southern Transitional council to take over the few government institutions that were left there that were controlled by that image government of yemen so the Yemeni Government needs to try to build trust with the southern communities try to listen to the Southern Transitional council demand its not a very popular concept for the government at the moment but i think you know dialogue is the only way. And the only thing that the government should focus on at the moment unless there is going to be further problems down the road the southern as you mentioned its not the southern desire for secession is not new and its going to remain a chronic problem regardless of who is in situ whos in control if the the government. Retains control of aden if theyre able to successfully retain control of the city how big of a setback would this be for the u. A. E. They have been backing the 7 separate is for years now and where would it leave the saudi u. A. E. Aligned in yemens conflict. The 1st thing that just sounds a little bit strange is if the government would retake it. So its sort of hard because i mean its it can take the south from the southerners so effectively who are saying there are the southerners themselves but if the government manages to reclaim the state institutions that are there it cannot happen forcibly it cant happen she was right about this how do you in your minds years where does this leave assad do you your lines have been a lot of downs and a lot of questions about this aligned for the past few weeks since this offensive and true. True i think one of the major disappointments for the government of yemen is that the saudis have not really taking a stronger position to condemn the Southern Transitional council i think thats what the government of yemen expected they were hoping that the saudis would be as laudable in their opposition to the c. C. As the hootie is but when that didnt happen you know a reality check set and especially today after that meeting between. Been some on and the secretary of state pump arrow there there has been a call for dialogue and this will basically mean that the government of yemen the saudi backed government of yemen will have to somewhat come into terms with this with the u. A. E. Backed separatists the so i think you know ultimately the saudis and the u. A. E. Knew what they were doing in yemen all along and the saudis have let the United Arab Emirates cultivate its relationship with the south i think the saudis want to keep all diplomatic channels open because they cant really afford to open a new front with a new group in yemen thank you so much for speaking to us thank you for your insights who. Is from the middle east institute in washington thank you for your time.

Youre watching the news hour on aljazeera with me fully back to bill a reminder of our top stories british Prime Minister Boris Johnson has moved to suspend parliament until the middle of october this leaves his opponents very little time to push through legislation preventing the u.

More now on our top story and u. K. Prime minister voice johnsons latest political maneuvers and what they mean for the brics it process the queen has approved johnsons request for rogue or suspend parliament so that will happen sometime between september 9th and 12th it is normal for a new government to close polman for a short period in the run up to the queens speech on october the 14th a speech that says some plans for the coming year but the Prime Minister wants polly meant to shut the normal itll be out of action for 5 weeks to nonis suspension since 1905 and that limits the amount of time m. P. s have to brock and no deal breaks it or table a vote of no confidence in the government with the u. K. Due to leave the e. U. Just 17 days later a sabet is the bracks a commissioning editor at the telegraph newspaper in london he says Boris Johnsons move is legitimate and could spark progress with e. U. Talks. Well certainly Boris Johnsons announcement came as a surprise to many indeed allies of his of tolls im a of my colleagues that you know the stagecraft for this was something they compared to like napoleon zz military tactics of the ground are may when it sends a part of his army in Different Directions to distract people who have no idea what is or do next in the same way ministers Jacob Reese Morgan his colleagues were sent to travel separately up to balmoral to see the queen because if they travel together up to her majestys highland retreat then tongues would wag people would wonder what on earth are they going to ask her about and indeed now we know its too Prorogue Parliament this is the official term for suspending parliament which happens when a session is over we must remember that the current session of parliament has been sitting for basically the last time it sat this long we have to go out 350 years the english civil war by this goes the highest Constitutional Authority her majesty the queen the head of state has and doors this is legitimate is a constitutional procedure so all the sort of 100 unconstitutional gripes. There theyve been dismissed by the queen she finds acceptable we know theres no Greater Authority than her and you know why then theyre so shrill and this is because theyve been surprised theyve been blindsided this spent days now very loudly telling everyone weve got a plan to stop or no deal were going to have m. P. s voting for legislation were going to do it next week were going to next week and theyre just surprised that Boris Johnson has a you know stick in this game as well and hes lost a preemptive strike and they just dont like the key thing for you leaders as they want to see that Boris Johnson is ready and able to take something through parliament he can take on m. P. s and so in some ways this may encourage a quiet hope that hes worked out how to do this because amid all this froth about dictator and constitutional arguments and all the excitement one thing is being missed that with the queens speech that Boris Johnson wants to have to kick off the new parliament theres the withdrawal. Bill thats he wants to have this this means that he could pulse Withdrawal Agreement something that he couldnt do on the job but his rules given the green was previously rejected 3 times not to the speaker the house of commons rules you cant have another go with the same legislation facebook is tightening its rules on political ads before next years us president ial election the social media firms introducing a confirmed organization label for advertisers in the United States those who dont comply risk counting their ads cut off Online Platforms have been under scrutiny from regulators to be more transparent after allegations russia use social media to meddle in the 26000. 00 u. S.
