Over to the u. N. Security council in new york there you can see mark who of course is the emergencies change for the u. N. Hes giving a briefing hes giving a briefing on the various emergencies around the world i believe hes talking about syria right now and we will be will listen a little bit to that but were also waiting to hear the very latest from the Security Council as to the situation in yemen but lets just listen to what he has to say about syria the displaced people compromising their ability to provide education for children. On 22 oldest following advances in many areas of northern hammer in southern italy the syrian authorities announced again the opening of the crossing point for civilians wishing to leave the area we understand the syrian authorities of station buses in the area and the Syrian Arab Red Crescent has been asked to prepare for possible population movements there are 2 shelters identified in iran to see if people with a capacity of 150 families the u. N. And humanitarian partners have mobile teams ready to respond in the area should civilians decide to use the crossing point from the Information Available to us however it appears that relatively few people are opting to move in this direction compared to the much larger numbers preferring to move north and west further into italy madam president one dimension of the conflict weve not covered much in our previous briefings but is covered by this latest report is the impact on agricultural activities in northern hamma and southern italy governorates traditionally large parts of the agricultural area are considered to be among the most fertile land in the country cultivated for wheat shelling. Reported fires contributed to the destruction of crops and damage to farming equipment much of the harvest has been lost in the capacity to prepare the soil for the new planting season is compromised. Madam president in officials have repeatedly called on the parties and this council to ensure respect for International Humanitarian law the rules are clear the parties must at all times apply the principles of distinction and precaution in the conduct of hostilities and take all necessary steps to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure from attacks and the effects of violence peoples homes hospitals schools Water Systems and markets must be protected there can be no reason. For the destruction of civilian areas on the scale seen in italy today in the months ahead the board of inquiry announced by the secretary general will investigate incidents in northwest syria which damaged or destroyed facilities which have either been conflicted or received support from the un. President despite all the challenges the community is doing everything it can to respond to the needs of the estimated 3000000 people in and around. With some 15000. 00 aid workers on the ground humanitarians continue to provide shelter materials Food Assistance and Health Services to the population including displaced people more than a 1000000 people receive general Food Assistance every month the people of exclusively through the cross border operation because as ive said before that is the only way they can be reached for access from within the country is impeded is for that reason that the renewal of your resolution 2165 later this year will be crucial. Madam president let me update you now ban diet conditions and assistance coupled with the hope for Durable Solutions have led many people to leave another joint un Syrian Arab Red CrescentAssessment Mission took place last week the purpose was to term in the number of people wishing to leave ban and those wishing to stay. The mission informed everyone in the camp about plans for future. Departures and assess the needs of those wishing to stay. As with the syrian authorities another mission is planned to within the next couple of weeks to facilitate the transport of those who said they wanted to leave. As in homes all Movement Must be voluntary safe and dignified. Throughout the agreement is that in the same mission the u. N. Will provide critical humanitarian assistance to. Remain in rome. There are currently some 68600 people in the camp there about 40 percent of the mysterians 45 percent are iraqis and 15 percent are foreign nationals 94 percent are women and children and 67 percent are under the age of 18 most have been exposed to violence and trauma. They are now living in extremely difficult conditions and they face an uncertain fate that includes the risk of being denied. Reintegration or a fair trial and the risk of becoming stateless despite having citizenship or a claim to Citizenship Solutions to these difficult issues need urgently to be found. And the un has repeatedly called for states to take the measures necessary to ensure the national. For the purposes of prosecution rehabilitation and reintegration as appropriate in line with International Law and standards. But it is important. To be considered primarily as a victim protected and assisted. The un has taken note of statements released by the United States in turkey regarding their plans to coordinate the establishment of a socalled safe zone in northeastern syria the u. N. Is not party to and is not being consulted on this agreement i must emphasize that any measures taken must ensure the safety and welfare of civilians including by protecting them from violence from force displacement or loss of life and sustained unimpeded and safe humanitarian access to civilians in need must be guaranteed including through the Cross Border Program for the un and its humanitarian partner. Madam president the u. N. Humanitarian agencies run a large relief operation all across syria reaching 6000000. 00 people in the period covered by the secretary generals latest report humanitarian assistance provided by u. N. Agencies included food for an average of 3600000. 00 people a month and more than 2100000. 00 Health Treatments to people around the country the response is however this year significantly less well funded than it was at this stage in 2080 so i would ask all those who made pledges of the process conference in april to take early action to implement them madam president let me return finally to. 3 weeks from now it will be one year since the signing of the memorandum of understanding. And agreement which called for restraint and aimed to prevent further escalation in northwest syria yet one year on the bombing and fighting in plain sight day in and day out 3000000 people 2 thirds of them women and children are counting on your support to make this violence stop i told you last month what some of them have said to me. We cannot turn back the clock on what has happened but this council and its members can take meaningful action now to protect civilians and ensure full respect for International Humanitarian law it is within your power to do that thank you madam president. I think mr local for his b. P. Thame now gives the flood to mr gates the gate of this. Thank you madam president the scale and wyland instability in syria is extremely alarming we have an ever rising civilian death toll millions displaced on tolls tens of thousands detained or missing large parts of the syrian territory of prime and between Different Actors confrontations between states on multiple axis there is certain i saw stepping up its guerrilla attacks and not yet the launch of a real political process these dynamics can and must change let me highlight the dangers before us but also all the prospects for launching the political tract and let me on the line the importance of the support of this consul if we are to begin to shift the dynamics no when im president let me highlight 5 major immediate concerns regarding the situation on the ground let me start with the situation in the northwest despite an attempted russian turkish reinstatement of the ceasefire announced in early august hostilities in and their own quickly resumed a major government of read took the southern tip of the deescalation area progovernment is strikes shelling rockets and mortars continue. More civilians are being killed as mark just highlighted many more have fled their homes more Health Facilities and other civilian infrastructure have been hit even markets schools i. D. P. Camps water stations told. Me in almost entirely depopulated as civilians including women and Children Police shelling and are stranded. Food or water turkey reports dead one of its military convoys into adlib phase aerial attacks meanwhile in observation posts in more ink as being encircled by proGovernment Forces a reminder that the situation there is sparking International Conflict president putin. Met on tuesday 27 august and indicated that they had reached common understanding on how to stabilize the situation based on the september 28th memorandum of understanding we can only welcome these high level diplomacy and these statements and i hope that it will bring calm to adlib but let me express the grave is concerned that the violence is so far locked abating more than president no one pretends that there is an easy solution to the challenge of countering Security Council listed terrorist group. As well as groups such as hold ourselves and foreign terrorist fighters there and tax must cease but Counter Terrorism cannot put 3000000. 00 civilians at risk who have the right to protection under International Human rights and humanitarian law the actions that are killing and displacing them must stop no the situation in libya needs a predominantly political solution let me turn to the earth situation in the north east. Tension flared in july and with troop concentrations on the turkish side on the border and dances in u. S. Turkeys talks in august help or hurt conflict and we are closely following developments as 1st steps appeared to be taken to implement these interim understandings but their concrete political settlement is needed as the secretary general has said that respect serious over energy its territorial integrity and unity that takes into account legitimate Turkish Security concerns and provides for devel being on the divert syrian population in that area and their voices to be heard 3rd the israeli iranian tensions israel confirmed that he conducted air strikes on the old scores of damascus on 24 august is right said its aim was to preempt drone attacks stage from syrian soil which is stated being planned by iranian kurds force operatives and shiite militias in syria syrian state media said that Syrian Air Defense systems intercepted hostile rockets before they reach their targets hizbollah her said that 2 of its fighters were killed in the strikes and has threatened to retaliate from lebanon these skeletor actions are extremely boring i urge all parties to respect the solar energy of syria and indeed all states in the area by refraining from attacks and provocations and showing maximum restraint both in actions and in their authority for insult about syria reports of detentions demonstrations disappearances and s. S. Nations are a source of serious concern. Mark just highlighted the challenges in iraq burn and ill hold and really nothing to add to that. 5th let us remember that the syrian families face many problem dangerous violent conflict terrorism displacement conscripts sions arbitrary detention torture separation gender biased veil on my lands and the myriad of all the protection if yours syrians also face unprecedented levels of poverty and economic shortcomings and a sense of hopelessness. And millions of Syrian Refugees continue to see opticals to save dignified and voluntary return when im president it should be more clear than ever that there is no military solution to syria and nationwide see if fire stipulated in a solution 2254. 00 has never been more relevant than necessary including as a matter of International Peace and security and it is clear that only a political process and ultimately a political solution can restore serious serenity protect the rights and future of all syrians and begin to address the deep divisions within the Syrian Society when im president and that is why even amid the fighting i have spent a lot of effort in discharging my mandate to 1st silicate into our syrian negotiations set up process to develop a new constitution pursuant to which free and Fair Elections on the un supervision should take place in line with the resolution 2254 i have been carefully consulting the government of the Syrian Arab Republic and the opposition Syrian Negotiations Commissions in order to establish a solid agreement on a credible balanced on inclusive syrian led and syrian on Constitutional Committee convened on the un auspices in geneva there can serve as a door opener to a broader political process. I thank both the government and the opposition for this of stand to have an open dialogue each is having with the un through of it has been clear that law thing is agreed until everything is agreed that said there is a strong understanding on 2 equal cultures one nominated by the government and the other by the opposition on un facilitation through my good offices on a sim to 5 percent voting to buy and striving for consensus on a large body of 150 members and a small body of 45 members and on a clear commitment to guaranteeing the safety and security of the Committee Members and their relatives in early july i held productive talks with the syrian foreign minister Walid Moallem and with the leadership of the opposition Syrian Negotiations Commission on all the remaining details of the package the resolve all standing names an agreed terms of reference and call core rules of procedure when im president their package is nearly finalized and theyre all standing differences are in my assessment comparatively minor it im convinced we can conclude negotiations and i am in contact with both the opposition and the government i also call me in my vendors to return to the massacres in the very near future as part of completing their work im quietly hopeful that the un will be in a position to unknowns and agreement before the start of the General Assembly the governments of russia and turkey and have been partake of top particular assistance and are fully supporting the un leadership of the negotiating process on the Constitutional Committee. I will be visiting iran shortly and look forward to its continued support i have no doubt that the summit of the president s of russia turkey and iran planned for mid september can contribute to the effort on the way i appreciate the strong support provided by the United States and several european and arab countries for their all their all u. N. Effort and the active support of the European Union i look forward to visiting and have consultations in washington later this week i continued to strongly urge the United States and the Russian Federation to deepen their own direct dialogue building on their foods they have made during the year when im president in recent months i am heard some syrians reacted with scorn at the notion of progress only Constitutional Committee in geneva while more while and searches and no progress is made on our defiance i have phoned the insides from a broad range of Syrian Civil Society and syrian women including my over Civil Society support room and womens Advisory Board to be extremely important in this regard they reveal on the lying reality and viable process karen not be above meetings in geneva it needs to address real life problems for syrians from the outset to be a meaningful door opener to be the moment that turns the page towards a new syria a Constitutional Committee its launch should be accompanied by measures that have a real impact on the ground and real actions on that their knees abductees and missing persons could be such a measure if done in a meaningful way and at meaningful scale. During the reporting period of fords symon 10 years the release operation took place under the umbrella of the Iran Russia Turkey ewen working group i am pleased at you to the un strong insistence there was a clear progress in terms for basic provisions of International Humanitarian law for the 1st time the International Committee of the red cross also love to act as a neutral intermediary and members on y. T. You observe the observation too but this and all of the release operations to date have been involved in the sith in sufficient in scale in line with dissolution 2254 all sides should engage in unilaterally leases and move beyond 141 exchanges and i believe women children the sick and them elderly must be released at skate the government and the opposition must collect protect and mannish information they have the individuals they hold or have information on and also of who they seek here again and internationally recognized neutral intermediaries such as the i. C. R. C. To play a key role in supporting all sides including families that a compilation of information only attained and missing persons in keeping this Information Safe and handling it confidentially made i. C. R. C. Support my team has developed procedures for conducting a search for missing persons in syria in line with International Humanitarian law and in the true spirit of resolution 2474 unanimously adopted by this council in june these procedures fill be put on the agenda of the next working Group Meeting my invitation for that meeting to take place in the nearby house part of the working groups rotating consultations stands. Moment President International playwright were going to come away from pederson who of course is the secretary generals voice for syria as he makes his presentation to the 50 members of the Security Council listening to the session with us has been my canner our correspondent whos there at the u. N. Mike theres a huge amount isnt there of rather dense detail that is presented by these specialists on the area but in terms of give pederson i thought he sounded rather optimistic that he thought that there could be presented a the start of a new political process to be announcing even before the start of the General Assembly. Well that might have been very much the Glass Half Full from the special envoy there he was also pretty bleak about the Current Situation making very clear that there has been Little Movement since that cease fire that was agreed at the beginning of the month for example that cease fire was broken almost immediately by all parties concerned he did hold out some hope for some resumption of negotiation but hasnt given any skeleton to this particular brand of optimism earlier we heard from the humanitarian expert mark about cock who painted a very bleak picture of what is happening and continues to happen in syria calling on the council to take some form of action to get some kind of united position on the whole situation now a little bit later in the session we are likely to hear a resolution suggested on syria calling for Council Unity in terms of dealing with the ongoing crisis the council has throughout the crisis in syria being deeply divided as to exactly what to do too many agendas involved from different nations belgium likely to introduce that resolution calling on the council to break away from these divisions and come together in a real attempt to address this ongoing crisis because yet again of course both local and pederson emphasizing the fact that without a political agreement there nothing can really be can really improve in syria. That is a u. N. Position thats the Year Position of the special representative and indeed its a position of all parties that the ultimate solution in syria is a political resolution a political agreement the other point of agreement between most of the parties is there that has to be reached between the parties directly concerned belles syrian some selves that there is no solution that can be imposed from the outside that the function of the United Nations and its various agencies would be to help bridge the divide between the warring parties in syria to bring them together to work out an agreement by themselves thats the theory thats the basis on which all u. N. Attempts at a resolving this crisis have been based and mike at the moment were looking at the belgian ambassador is it your understanding then the belgium will present some sort of resolution and whats your understanding of what will be in that resolution that its hoped would generate consensus because as youve pointed out there is never a consensus on syria in the Security Council among the permanent 5. Well we are expecting the belgian ambassador to suggest a resolution now the basis of that resolution as we understand is a call for unity in the Security Council itself the resolution the draft resolution making very clear that there can be no successful attempt to address the situation in syria unless the council is united on this particular aspect so the 1st step that belgium may be seeking in its written resolution is to get agreement among the council to agree on what to do now that sounds like a very simple matter but as you mentioned this council has been deeply divided on the syrian issue all sorts of factions involved here and this division has basically made the Security Council futile in any attempt to address the crisis that belgian is knowledge attempting to hate this head on for a change to address the issue of Security Council division and explore ways in which the Security Council can finally speak with one voice on the issue of syria its a very difficult task indeed it is mike and also before we got on to the issue of syria the president the current president of the Security Council the this ambassador she had a statement agreed by the Security Council on yemen. Yes this is a rather unusual move to get a statement from the president of the Security Council and its reflective of the concern that is being established here at the u. N. In terms of the deteriorating situation in yemen now the statement was read by the president of the council at the beginning of the session it was agreed on by all members of the council basically its a very broad statement no clear specifics but calling for an end to hostilities calling for a particular areas to get wind back the conflict that is happening there in particular it does mention in the 2nd paragraph the escalating situation in aden it also says that the special envoys if that is to work with the parties to pave the way for the resumption of comprehension negotiations is supported by the whole of the Security Council so basically what we heard from the president there was. Voice of support for the special envoy to yemen and also a concern for a situation that continues to deteriorate. Mike hanna live at the United Nations in new york on all thats been going on in the Security Council thank you very much indeed. Still to come here at aljazeera trying to save their lives and the battles facing pharmacists in the amazon. The haves and the have nots a new report looks at the difference in lifespan between the rich and the poor in the United States. Tropical storm that develop just west of luzon is on its way to vietnam now if you see a lot of rain mostly of the water in the past 170 millimeters in 24 hours is a lot of rain thats the potential at least to be realized as it runs in this is its underneath here you cant resist circulation is no idea of a massive wide cloud so the rain that comes from it will be a vietnam cambodia must be laos the southwest of china and anything thats green here is like to be fairly wet and the heart of it is going to be vietnam but the hong kong. And beyond even towards shanghai this is going to be a wet area for a couple of days some of that rain stretches for you not to sichuan one small good part of the rest of china is currently dry. Now the monsoon rains in india should be retreating and to some degree they are without massive why you just sort of there those words into southern pakistan was nice but its late rain in the forecast is still something in this northwestern part of a new doesnt really cross the border im afraid but anywhere from here north nepal down towards much of a dish and beyond that could be potentially wet in monsoon showers or continue now. Weve morse caught up to where we should be so could end up being a pretty normal monsoon period. This is a dialogue which you decide not to have children and its what the stake is really human survival everyone has a voice that must start with our community because of course this is a debate and its a heated one this is a little be patient literally be able to do a ph d.

That lebanons hezbollah is promising to retaliate against israel after accusing it of being behind attacks by self destructing drones last weekend now domestic rivals in lebanon of long accuse hezbollah of making security and military decisions on its own dragging the country into war but this time lebanese officials are rallying behind hezbollah saying the holder has more from beirut. The israeli army has pulled back from. Its positions close to the border with lebanon its on high alert awaiting hezbollahs promised retaliation for the killing of 2 of its operatives in airstrikes in neighboring syria since the 2006 war there is really military has largely refrained from targeting hezbollah inside lebanon instead it has been facing off against the group and its backer iran in syria that changed over the weekend the Lebanese Armed group is accusing israel of sending armed drones that crashed and exploded on a mission to attack and its stronghold in the senate suburbs of beirut it is promising to confront drones that violate lebanons airspace and it has the support of the lebanese state everybody is aligned everybody rejects this israeli operation with raising premiums what what it will always wanted to have. States lebanese states going to stick is to freeze and perhaps the majority of the lebanese people. Lebanons army and government officials described the drone crash incident as an attempted attack and a violation of the countrys sovereignty president michel and who called it a declaration of war chaired a meeting of the Higher Defense Council which stressed the right of lebanese to defend themselves by any means to the terror further israeli attacks before the election or around there was always a margin. A margin of space if i may say between the. Official position of whether any state has a law profession as a resistance this fortune or 5. Recently has. Been. Diminished or has. Become smaller hezbollah and its allies now hold political power in lebanon its opponents accuse it of doing irans bidding in the proxy war with israel. The months long war in 2006 was sparked by. A cross border raid in which killed and captured Israeli Soldiers there is now the possibility of a new confrontation. Reveal details of its planned retaliation and its timings but there are those who believe it will likely be a calculated response in order to avoid war. Israels response is not guaranteed back in 2006 the lebanese government disavowed itself from hezbollah today it is a different dynamic and israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is warning the lebanese state it will be held responsible for hezbollahs actions. Beirut its been 2 years since i saw was defeated in iraq but more than a 1000000 people remain displaced and they include 300000 from the city of mosul iraq returning home because of Security Fears destroyed homes and there are no jobs and some of inge of aid reports now from the job camp for the displaced in mosul. Life in a tent is exposed to all kinds of weather but even these makeshift homes are a blessing for hundreds of thousands of iraqis from mosul what used to be iraqs 2nd largest city. 11 year old with months old dan was blinded in one eye and suffered nerve damage when he was hit by a mortar shrapnel. Is now mentally challenged our house in mosul was leveled life is so hard and i cant go home there is nothing there here in the camp we have access to services i cant pay the rent outside the tent the people of mosul from north to south are the victims of this war these many tens dont provide much protection against the elements but more than 300000 people continue to live in tents like the many tried to go back to mosul but then came back to camps because at least here they get some security safety as well as food and electricity. In mosul alone 138000. 00 homes were destroyed while some of the repaired more than 50000. 00 are still flattened after the bombardment it will take many years and billions of dollars to reconstruct and the displaced have nowhere else to go the number one reason that we hear is that their homes are still destroyed that they simply cannot afford to rebuild their hoping for assistance from the International Community and the government but its. Its so far insufficient in addition to the destruction most of these families carry the stigma of having lived and derisively the mostly sunni muslims who fled mosul are viewed with suspicion and seen by some as i see collaborators that lack of trust is an obstacle to the return of the displaced the uns migration body says revenge killings enter tally action against those suspected of links with ice and threaten to trigger new cycles of into communal violence the organization managing the scam didnt allow us full access our guides took notes of what people were telling us in phone someone to inform them we were stopped from filming a woman who said her husband was forced to pledge allegiance to iceland and disappeared after iraqi forces regained control. Of the husseins husband was a policeman beheaded by eisel she struggles to provide for her 7 children and thinks hell stay in the camp for the forseeable future. And i dont have pension my children need care they require money to survive we are living off charity and donations we eat and dress whenever we receive help my house is in a remote area and we cant go back now the area has abandoned and dangerous to return to many families were killed when they returned with mine and most of his friends grew up under rice a rule and now feel ostracized doesnt bode well for the future of mosul where 60000000 and Tribal Division is run deep summer job without does a good account. And tomorrow thats friday in the 3rd of a series on mosul osama bin on the pressure being put on the Iraqi Government to reveal what happened to the thousands of men who disappeared after the army declared victory over. Former members of colombias revolutionary armed forces are far now say that theyll take up arms again despite a landmark peace deal that was signed only 3 years ago if an mark is it was a high ranking commander of the rebel group made the announcement in a video that was posted on wednesday he says a new phase of Armed Struggle will begin and accuses the government of not sticking to the 2016 agreement the deal ended more than 50 years of conflict. When we signed the agreement of havana we did it with the conviction that it was possible to change the lives of the humble and the dispossessed but the state has not fulfilled even the most important of the obligations that is to guarantee the life of its citizens and particularly to prevent the a murder for political reasons all of this this truck this betrayal this perfidy the unilateral modification of the text of the accord the unfulfilled commitments on the part of the state the judicial sit ups and insecurity have obliged us to return to the mountains the brazilian president diable sanaa has signed a decree banning the practice of burning land for the purpose of clearing it the ban will remain in effect for the next 2 months the practice of intentionally burning land is meant to improve soil quality for farming the ban follows the global outcry over the fires that are burning in the amazon some of which were started deliberately. Well the president is also calling for more development in the amazon its believed the fires are the result of illegal farming and logging which local governments say they dont have enough resources to stop that there are reports now from the Northwestern State of round on the air. It takes a tough breed to hack a living from the searing hot inhospitable amazon. They come to recap to learn to plant soya yams and much else besides they do so legally but are vulnerable in this huge poorly. Region 2 illegal speculators. Theyre grabbing all of that area part of the john marine nature reserve theyre grabbing everything and the word is they will cut everything down and if they do then theyll set it on fire it. This man said he feared for his life and his identity was revealed saying neither the police nor the authorities have the resources to protect him from neighbors who covered his land just when the president is being called upon to do more by the International Community and some of those leaving to do more to defend the amazon he moves in the opposite direction he invites more developments which many living here fill the environment and themselves a greater risk. President says too much of this forest is protected neither nature reserves or indigenous reservations the poverty awaits those who dont take advantage. But this he thought had been enough deforestation. On has to have cattle we dont need to de force anything else though just take care of the lands that are already deforested take care of the rivers of the spring this cattle is what we live from. However he said he doesnt blame the president for the lang grabs all the fires he believes the region is simply too big to Police Despite the efforts of the local authorities. Crime happens everywhere however our policies have been positive. But because of the size of the state and the way its land is occupied our policies will take time to work to guarantee security in both urban and rural areas. Farming can and should only be done in a sustainable way. Some people dont respect the law and this creates a bad image of our country abroad but we keep fighting for local farmers who work with nature the ecosystem so that we can all survive the battle for land has been.

And the gap in Life Expectancy between the rich and the poor in the United States can be as much as 30 years and its not just about limited access to health care thats causing them less to die earlier john hendren has. In america where you live can determine how long you live. Anything and. Yet i can give you some heart problems. To some extent the lifespan gap between rich and poor exists everywhere but when New York UniversityMedical Center studied the u. S. The biggest disparity was here in chicago that gap is surprisingly wide even where the distance is short on the north side among the gleaming high rises of the citys streeterville neighborhood the average lifespan is 90 years 15 kilometers away in impoverished englewood its 60 that is Larry Richards age but you know in englewood you beat the odds right all my life and money which leads to Better Health care or no health care least a better food better diet and rich people are just more aware of their bodies than poor people or they care more about others and they can afford the health care exactly in streeterville residents have easy access to medical care a Healthy Foods and a safe place to exercise here.

We managed to retake all of aden and we are now clearing the city of sleeper cells we urge all residents in every district to hand over all elements from those sleeper cells they are invaders we dont want traitors among us. Separatists from the Southern Transitional council are part of the saudi u. A. E. Coalition thats fighting against the he. Bought in a dramatic twist less than 3 weeks ago they took over the city of aden the sea to the saudi backed internationally recognized yemeni government. 2 on wednesday Government Forces recaptured the city both sides say theyre now in control. The violence has exposed an apparent rift in the saudi u. A. E. Coalition with each country backing opposing sides in southern yemen is caught in this awkward limbo whereby it does not necessarily want to discard its alliance with but it knows that if yemen divides then the humiliation will be on saudi arabia and not necessarily on the u. A. E. Saudi arabia knows if yemen splits between north and south so it is likely to be north is likely to be pro iran saudi arabia is the party that loses. Government forces say the. Reinforcements to aid in 60000 people have left the city but tens of thousands remain in harms way as the fighting intensifies Victoria Gate to be aljazeera. Or katherine shocked him as head of the Yemen Department of the next Century Foundation thats a peace building think tank and she joins us now from london catherine a very warm welcome to the program is what were seeing here a new front developing in what was already an extremely complex situation. Had to know about a new front has definitely one that has not come to the forefront its always been that disagreement in strategy and agenda in between the u. A. E. In the saudis have always been exist in existence i think that just now theres such a massive rift and the agenda is so completely on play opposite its becoming you know believes in the obvious and its impossible to not look at it i mean i dont have to be calm yet another proxy in yet another layer into this yemens military conflict that has become so very complicated for the saudi primarily its very difficult to to kind of gauge which way its going to go because there are so many Different Directions catherine why has this rift developed within the coalition. Well i think the 1st thing that people need to absolutely remember is that the reason why the you he agreed to back to saudi military coalition was one reason only is that they wanted to create a buffer zone as one of influence in the south because the south is the only thing that interest the u. A. E. In terms of controlling the waterways in yemen what happens in the north is very little interest or even strategic interest for the u. A. E. And so they did not care too much this how would you wanted to crack down on the who see movement to try to impose their own political reality and those gain control of north yemen and so they agreed in part with the u. A. E. To kind of split yemen into 2 zones of influence the problem in the u. A. E. Was actually successful in concert he dating an alliance with this album theirs and of course the saudi not so much into breaking the back of the hooty in the resistance movements in yemen so that you find yourself in a situation where the u. A. E. Political agenda is actually coming to fruition and this idea of the greatest losers in this story so if were in a situation there were hardys sort of lost his legitimacy legitimacy. Can a deal be done are we left in somewhat of a vacuum. Well i think the problem is that if it deal is not true could now then we could find ourselves in a situation where had he will be completely irrelevant i mean hes already irrelevant but hes very existence will be completely nullified by what is happening in the north and in the cells and so i think that this saudi have no other choice today but to come to the to the peace negotiating table and try to broker a deal that would not be as the bad is they just leave it now and continue to be persistent in the military pursuits because its not going to its not going to happen in the north and in the south the the using you know whatever in through us they had and it was very little because the u. A. E. Where actually representing them over there and now the u. A. E. Is actually doing you know going at it alone and pursuing its own agenda so i think its quite interesting too to see that the u. S. Is actually following International Law when it comes to. Favoring a party that is actually pushing for sovereignty and political side determination whereas the saudi continue to push against you know north yemen and killing humanity billions. In yemen so its quite interesting how you know former a law is offering themselves on a very different side of the river today catherine checked in there joining me live from london catherine thank you very much for joining us with your point of view.
