Rocked by conflict and crises and now the threat of coronavirus yemen is reeling from yet another setback to its elusive lose if i visions for peace and stability separatists have declared self rule in the south of the country the internationally recognized government has condemned the move it says the outcome is going to be catastrophic and dangerous all this as a Saudi Led Coalition battles who 3 rebels in a separate conflict alexey obrian explains. Calibrations on the streets of aden after separatist group the now it is now in control of. The south and Transitional Council defying the internationally recognized government accusing it of failing to improve the lives of. This is not. An event just sprung out of nowhere. This is actually a dial up. Mis management government and actually insult them and the council says strong leadership is needed to combat the global coronavirus pandemic they do ship it says the government is lacking thats why the s. T. C. Is right now compelled to take to take action to their own ends while still calling for a cease fire calling for deescalation in all fronts you want things to go smoothly or at things you want to be able to deliver aid services are going to be able to battle this. But the government warns the move could have catastrophic consequences describing it as a resumption of an armed insurgency. Its yet another complicating factor in yemen scribe vs civil war which is being mocked by shifting sometimes shadowy allegiances. Facade and safer to still backed by the United Arab Emirates and have been nominal allies of the saudi immorality coalition and their war against the who thinks it was last year the saw the movement turned on the coalition backed government seizing aden and fighting that lasted for days was. The government says the separatist action is a rejection of a power sharing deal brokered to end last years on wrist which saudi arabia hailed as a step towards a wider political solution to the war was this a protest Movement Goes back fabiani to the current conflict those in the south yemens unification of 998. 00 favored the north and led to fulfilling Living Standards there are thought to be at least 25. 00 regional safer to scripts support on the ground is also in question critics say control shouldnt be taken by force but actions within yemen and not in 2 or 3 but all the different. Regions or areas and i think this is like a premature decision that doesnt. Well in other areas of the i mean especially in. Other places so basically were playing with fire. But. The 7 Transitional Council says it continues to support the nationwide cease fire which is just been extended by a mom. A declaration of autonomy and a state of emergency adds to the uncertainty for yemenis who believe he suffered years of hunger and war an example hyun al jazeera. Well the crisis in yemen has many dimensions its complex and its fractured and its fraught with both domestic and Regional Power struggles was lost in 6 years its rooted in the arab spring uprising 9 years ago longtime president Ali Abdullah Saleh handed power to his deputy the room once or condi now that failed to bring much hope for stability who the movement took advantage reigniting divisions in separatist versions and tensions rose on a regional level between sunni ruled saudi arabia and shia ruled iran which was accused of backing the who threes a saudi u. A. E. Coalition began its military offensive against the who things in august 2015 that was only supposed to last a matter of weeks and western countries feared the threat of attacks from al qaida and i still affiliates based in yemen catherine shocked them is head of the Yemen Department of the next Century Foundation its a peace building think tank and shes joining us now from london lets talk about this latest move in southern yemen 1st of all how does that change the power dynamic in yemen. I dont think its changed to make chris so i think its more of a reflection of the political reality in yemen. This south yemen has ate for independence for decades now. And i think that its actually coming about just now only because of the situation in the yemen since 2015 so they were able to realize their political ambition and so critical determination and i think that mean to. May have at this moment has to do with the fact that in fact. Government heidi is in reality hoss lost whatever legitimacy you may have had at some point and we need to remember that the only legit immunity that he ever had was in fact that were given by the International Community because there was an understanding that if if he wasnt actually supported by the International Community then defacto over and she would full on chewed her see movement and so had to do was propped up and kept in powell even though he was only there to transition yemen into intern the other political era following idea of the s. L. S. Demise and so its interesting to see that the s. T. C. Which is backed by the u. A. E. As you mentioned has been the only institution so broad that has been able to gain some kind of a good illegitimate in backing that has been able to function as a de facto state we need to get into remember that this the position in between north and south has become in trying now in fact they have different currency they have you know they had their own capital they have created as if they were different states even though movement is still allowed in between and between the 2 people are not being stopped at the what they call the border now. So its quite interesting i think that now the reality is actually catching up with the way that we framing the political setup of yemen not dont think that its necessarily a breakdown. In the way that the saudi cooperation is shaped up against their b. C. It has much to do with the fact that heidi president hadi has become so irrelevant that many people in south yemen as well as within the Saudi Coalition is going to realize by he has become more reliability than anything else and that he doesnt have enough political backing and popularity to manifest any form of peace and that you might be best so to actually create some safe pockets within yemen and drink to man up in 2 different provinces and faction to be able to manage moving forward to peace so i think its a very pragmatic approach it might be a dangerous approach but then again if you look at the way yemen has suffered over the past 6 years i think that any move forward might be the right solution and its better than doing nothing any better than watching heidi governments knew more and more power more legitimacy and we have to remember is well that you know with the to salvage whatever legitimacy he had left how do you it was decided not forced but decided to a large himself with some al qaeda elements within yemen in order to fight not just the south and the session its movements but as well the who stays in the north so hes hes decisions where. Eating yemen towards a very very dangerous region d. And so i think that the u. A. E. Felt that they had to into being i think they want you to some point you manifest again political have this emanation in the south and the south would be will have to go along with it in the sense that its not completely against their own political narrative and the minority remains in the north rather than in the south let me produce a different story for enjoy to you on a broader problems a lot but you do raise. An interesting point in terms of every time we see a fracturing if you like of control in any country it creates vacuums into which other groups can move what do you think the risk saw that we are going to see activity by eisold were going to see activity by al qaeda but also of course saudi arabia and iran which of the greater players in this. Well i mean al qaeda has been in yemen in full for decades so its not its not like its a new entity and i think all power is in full thats all very aware of the threat that exists in yemen now when we talk about partition we have as well to remember that yemen was q yemen not so long ago in 1900 im not so far away and so the reason. They read the political i would say tradition in terms of how the institutions are set up in the south so its not like 1000 yemen is just creating something out of nothing and they reason long tradition that and again because yemen too is ringback very tribal i think that the. You know the those institutions these traditions that they have to be organized for doing certain tribal lines we help dramatically. The country they treat caves and always has been in yemen shoot you have a consensus within the tribes and to try to have the various provinces in the south and in the north to Work Together that with 2 against one another catherine let me just talk you there for a 2nd i apologize for interrupting unfortunate time as always is against us but i do i dont want you to go away stay there for the moment because i want to talk about the medical situation in yemen it was already one of the poorest countries in the middle east before the war broke out one of the largest humanitarian crisis of our time more than 100000 people have been killed in yemen since the conflict began and more than 3000000 have been forcibly displaced since 2015 last year the United Nations said 10000000 yemenis are just one step away from famine more than 24000000 people are in need of International Aid thats 80 percent of the population yemens experience the largest cholera epidemic in the world they have also been more than a 1000000 cases since 2801 quarter of them have been children lets go back to catherine just lets talk about the impact that this is going to have on the people of yemen the country is already fractured its medical services are destroyed what are the risks you think that any additional violence that we might see is a result of this is going to be even more stress on the an already damaged system. Its going to be a catastrophe i mean yemen is you know a humanitarian blackhole i dont think that any country in the row right now is suffering just as much as german is that being said i think that these secession wheel somewhat a neighbor who aid to be funneled through yemen because not a state has been created in essence way south and factions dont have any reason to fight each other anymore just yet and so in a way we have to simplify the the equation that is yemen is pretty difficult and i think that that will allow some degree for the u. A. E. The saudi and other countries within the International Community to help create some kind of a humanitarian coequal. Now there was always a danger and i think this is the main one that al qaeda will try to use the crisis will try to use this spreading pandemic 19 to try to use ace is a Political Tool but all gearing. Up for example and other nations all are trying to poison yemen because i know about these narrative has been floated around to recruit new people and trying to. Aggressively intensify the crisis just then justify the why the fighting against the government institutions whether in the north and in the south so its going to be a difficult situation but yemenis score tickets today anyway but i do really think that this the succession in the south really allow for some degree of stability to be brought about and therefore that would allow for some humanitarian relief to actually take hold the real question would be whether the north yemen and all the many factions within yemen has agreed to who will want to collaborate with each other and cooperate with each other as far as the people are concerned and to try to alleviate this offering the National Government here to read yes to Yemen Department of the next Century Foundation i really apologize for busing in but thank you very much indeed for giving us your time and all that. But about ahead on the news hour including heading back to work Boris Johnson wins his fight against corona virus but now hes going to rejoin the u. K. s battle against the pandemic. Conspicuous by his absence of mystery over the health and whereabouts of north koreas leader. And in sport find out about the Central American country which spreads sport is still going ahead with fans in attendance. China is claiming another milestone in its baffled with corona virus it says all patients have now been discharged from hospitals and will hunt the original epicenter of the Pandemic Health officials also say they have now gone an 11th straight day with no new deaths in china well one reported more than half of the countrys total cases and nearly 85 percent of the National Death toll City Residents are still being tested regularly despite a relaxation of lockdown rules with silicone set of clocks joining us now from Hong Kong Sarah just give us a breakdown of what china is saying about the figures and 101st of all. What certainly is good news coming out of china on sunday at the National Health commission is reported 0 coronavirus cases in we had and as you mentioned this is the epicenter of the initial corona Virus Outbreak and of course engendering we saw this particular city sealed off was and generally 23 when live 11000000 people went into lockdown for about 3 or so months it was only when the numbers started to drop that lift that particular lockdown so in january february at the pick of this particular Virus Outbreak we had the likes of thousands of cases being reported on a daily basis of course we had accounts for half the National Total of coronavirus cases in china and 3 quarters of chinas deaths but instead of we hand the medical if its a now being deployed elsewhere weve got the cases on sunday a National Health commissions report of 11 cases and 5 of those have come from a particular region in the north of the country thats an area called Heilongjiang Province and this particular province borders russia its about 4000 kilometer a border there and as a result this is now the new battleground because of the cases of the surge in infections in that particular region weve got a number of cities that been put in lockdown weve got public transport its been postponed or held for a period of time and thats tight quarantine restrictions in a number of cities and we also have mandatory testing for all arrivals coming from russia into china certainly china is now looking to deploy medical teams to this particular region as it sees a surge in the number of cases and syria this is of all happening at the same time as were seeing a surge in cases in singapore to the south of where you are whats happening there. Weve seen a spike in the number of cases in singapore over the last week or so in the vast majority of coming from the Migrant Workers who are crept up living in these very a crap dormitories now and some that we have 931 cases reported in singapore and thats up from 619 and the country has around 300000 Migrant Workers in about 80 percent of the infections from this particular group and see who as a result has one of the highest infection rights in asia and as a result the governments ramping up its medical if its deploying teams to these particular compounds its also trying to build a building putting twentys Exhibition Centers into temporary hospitals to try and curb the number of infections and treat the increasing number of patients at st paul in the early days you might recall it was considered leading the fight against this particular virus but now as a result its it tightened its quarantine restrictions and put the country into lockdown until June Sarah Clarke reporting for us from Hong Kong Sarah thanks very much the coronavirus lockdowns provoked a protest on the border between germany and poland by people complaining they cant get across many or polish commuters who work in germany poland has been a lot done since my mid march a mandatory 2 week quarantine for anyone who enters has also been imposed and germans in berlin and guards have demanded the easing of the lockdown chanting slogans such as i want my life back protesters complain that the restrictions are a violation of their fundamental rights why a Police Detained more than 100. 00 people children in spain are being allowed outside to play for the 1st time in more than a month as a lockdown is even if its only for an hour and the must be accompanied by an adult and stay within a kilometer of home or the parks remain closed spain has the worlds 2nd highest total of infections after the u. S. As well as europes 2nd highest number of fatalities behind italy joining us from madrid is marta how bad or how are people reacting to the fact that the children finally are able to get out even if its just for an hour. Well after 42 days of a Strict Lockdown in spain this measure was really needed weve been talking to parents and children in the parks and in the streets story and there was saying there was a stream be necessary to have. This measure released and i didnt use for them so so we were talking about children under 14 years old her allowed to go out to the streets today and to go for a walk they have to follow the 111 directions 11 mile from their home walking over to from the home one hour and one adult with them and weve seen plenty of families outside in the streets today enjoying the day martha thanks very much thats a brief update from a martyr in madrid i want to bring in Erin Valentine shes a clinical psychologist and sidra medicine here in doha shes joining us now via skype thanks very much indeed for giving us your time give us an indication of the kind of ways that children could be affected by being in lockdown well theres a number of different ways that children can be adopted in a lot of it will depend on the childs temperament and personality and how their family is handling the lockdown but certainly time away from friends and school and their routines can be quite disruptive stressful and then with the news about virus not understanding everything can also be a bit anxiety go in so im sure theyre looking forward to some opportunities to getting out now in spain. Given the fact that theyre only allowed out for about an hour is that really enough to offset the amount of time they have spent on lockdown. Its probably not enough but its nice to start out slowly anyway you know the changes can be overwhelming so starting with this 111 seed helps children kind of ease back into different routines and different schedules and i think you know different children might be really excited others might be a bit anxious so it gives that little bit of flexibility there for children come out slowly and starts to see whats going on as well see maybe friends while theyre walking on the streets it wont be enough but its a nice start what kind of care and attention should children have given the they very unusual circumstances that theyve been going through for in some cases the last at least the last month looking ahead to the next few months what should people be looking out for how should they be supported. Well i think its a really nice opportunity now for parents to be having some mindful conversations with their children about what they want to do in the coming months making some flans together about how to return back to routines that they like maybe incorporating changes that worked out really well for them in the in lockdown are important in the habits that they develop so its an opportunity to really plan because the doors are actually going to open in one day you know theres going to happen slowly so parents and children can Start Talking together and i think thats whats really important is to talk with the children about how theyre feeling about this excitement and anxiety. And what they want to do is slowly you know pacing to different activities and new experiences that theyll be happening so that does not happen at once and they can you know enjoy the rollout and just for not activities just as youve been talking and weve been seeing some live pictures from central madrid all of some children who have been out playing in a playground they seem to be keeping a certain amount of distance from each other but at least they are out there i want to ask you about the impact on teenagers particularly and older children because of course theres a lot of focus on the very young kids at the moment when it comes to teenagers has a different mindset what kind of impact can the locked on have on them and what again what can parents do to try to ease them back into normal life for want of a better phrase. Yes certainly for adolescents teenagers there is a big difference and theyd probably been staying more connected than younger children and through media through their schools and so but theyve also been missing out on some opportunities especially older older adolescents things like graduation and and testing that spend going on a lot of older children have been so thinking about how didnt make up for some lost time and also stay connected and just connect again from all the technology that theyve been so heavily involved in during the the lockdown that you dont want them to be so connected to once they get back outside itll be important to talk about that with teenagers and and theyre more capable of having some of these really big conversations about what we do now what are we going to do differently how do we how do we incorporate things into our life now that we like from or and what changes should we make our valentines a clinical psychologist at sadr medicine here in doha we really appreciate your time thank you very much indeed well buttons Prime Minister is due back at work on monday 2 weeks after being in intensive care for coronavirus Boris Johnsons facing criticism of his and the governments handling of the crisis including critical shortages of personal protective clothing for Health Care Staff and the like of testing and calls to the crippling lock down and increasing will join a whole is joining us now from westminster in Central London whats the 1st thing thats going to be on the agenda for Boris Johnson today. Well presumably settling back into his quarters in downing street we expect him to turn up at some point today through those blackouts or possibly the back entrance there back into number 10 after convalescing for the last 2 weeks at checkers the Prime Ministers country retreat having left intensive care just a fortnight ago suffering from covered 19 he has a lot in his in trade Boris Johnson he will return on monday to the country now in its 2nd 3 week period of intensive lockdown measures a country in which the peak of the epidemic has been reached but in which new infections and deaths remain perilously high with the hospital death toll rising above 20000 on saturday as you said still persistent shortages of personal Protection Equipment for health and care workers on the frontline a government target of 100000 tests a day by the end of this month still looks a long long way off and louder and louder calls for a timetable an exit strategy some sort of transparency in the governments plans from the opposition who say the public must be kept informed about when this lockdown will end and how and also from the Business Community and senior members of Boris Johnsons own party who say it must end very very quickly i think i mean they say hes raring to go as i say theres no shortage of things for him to be getting on with but presumably the central and 1st focus will be on his key predicament which is to decide in the coming days whether to hear this call from Business Leaders and his own party and senior members of the treasury no less who say you must end this lockdown in order to prevent a total collapse of the economy in this country verse is a much more cautious line being taken by the health and Scientific Community who say look the time is not yet right the numbers are still simply too high the public shouldnt be given false hope instead they should be encouraged to double down and stick to the lockdown the lockdown which incidentally there was broad public support for all the way. Along until perhaps now new polls are beginning to suggest worryingly i think for downing street but that support may be on the wane as john how bringing us up to date the situation in the u. K. Live from westminster jonah thanks very much ok its time for the weather here is rob yeah were using the word drudge again which we shouldnt in europe his term the year of hugo it has been mooted and were talking yesterday about the dryness in Central Europe and you see a lot of cloud you think something about me going on but remember this picture from southern germany where the average rainfall or 50 movies hadnt even been started to be bitten into this is a few of them might be some more to come but this is a position that stretches from denmark in the north star into the balkans and east through poland so germany is not alone and its already been does see them far as these are of course forest fires but given the dry tinder is there on the ground they could be worse than normal the pictures of a particular good one this is in the western side of germany now are i did say things might change but unfortunately. As it stretches far east is potent in poland and the rain has been followed that to reduction in the lake level this again is but central poland weve got a lot to make up for and in the immediate future of the rain is still further south and more particularly in spain portugal is running up through france however there is a hint that this thing the harmony actually is wanted to get into a decent area of low pressure and if that happens it will tend to throw the right into germany theres some hope for you before cross to stuttgart represents it 3 days of rain wrapped up thanks very much indeed.

We played this game before with him and with previous leaders where weve said oh hes disappeared for 2 weeks hes disappeared 2 or 3 weeks you know it does that mean he might die similarly with the Supreme Leader in iran durbin numerous rumors about imminent demise that never came true you know its a pandemic right in north korea where does north korea live right next to the country where the corona virus originated now greece did not it has any cases i find it hard to believe im not saying he would. Have contracted it obviously Boris Johnson did so you know do we have a smoking gun here that something is a right no because of the focus on cover 19 which is totally appropriate and all the things that means we havent been thinking about north korea but if north korea if the leader da is in a context in which theres a Global Pandemic its under sanctions and entering a recession is joining an economy declines thats a big deal and we might want to think about it before it happens rather than after it happens saudi arabia is easing curfew roles from most parts of the kingdom but its keeping a 24 hour lockdown in mecca as well as times that were isolated after the start of the outbreak some commercial activity is also set to resume from wednesday the main mosques in mecca and medina well remain closed throughout the muslim holy month of ramadan said have a via has reported more than 16000 infections and a 136 deaths.

Swedens indigenous saw me people crossing frozen lakes on snowmobiles to feed the reindeer by hand a symptom of their disappearing pastures here in the arctic reindeer herding so important for in the sauna culture in sweden we are struggling to you know skipping reindeer to sort of iraq in 3 and its very costly and puts a lot of strain some families and rainier of the effects of Climate Change on the impact of mining and dams are part of a growing list of problems adding to that strain these are going to have been moved up into the mountains for the spring and summer where the spike all the dangers that face them they should at least be safe from a new one the to merged over the winter that new danger was a spate of killings of reindeer suspected to have been carried out by swedish neighbors in retaliation for a court case that the Sami Community won against the government and which gave them back the right to decide who hunts and fishes on their land loss all that young is one of those who has found his animals slaughtered in the words. I let my reindeer loose here and a man drove up and said you dont come here with your reindeer or will shoot them weve already shot 7 all right and if i meet you alone in the forest ill shoot you too its been a tense winter most of the swedes are good people but we have this clique that has such hatred towards reindeer and reindeer hooters. Tensions rose in january after sweden supremes colt ruled in favor of the saw meet reindeer herding union of getting whose line stretches some 300 kilometers from here near the norwegian border it could set a precedent for 50 other such as areas covering hoff of sweden and may also hinder plans for more wind and water power plants and mines which have already decimated reindeer pastures the government in stockholm has condemned what it described as racism threats and hate against the saw me but hasnt commented on any strengthening of their rights so maybe they.

In south korea another sign that life is starting to return to normal catholics are attending mass for the 1st time since social distancing measures were introduced at the start of the pandemic but the bride has more from seoul all the precautions being taken. Its nearly 2 months since the Catholic Church and other churches here in south korea decided it was simply too risky to hold normal services instead of Holding Masses on the line and its only now all of these weeks on that the Catholic Church has decided it is safe to reopen its churches but only under the strictest of precautions were at the main cathedral in seoul they can normally have a congregation of up to 1000. 00 but only a quarter of that number of being allowed in for each mass and you know order to do so you have to turn up here early go to this building where you get a number and your Contact Details your identity is recorded at all the so that if there is a case of infection then every member of that congregation can be traced its all part of this Contact Tracing that the South Koreans are now so expert at then you have to line up a 2nd time outside the cathedral itself obviously keeping a distance from the people in front of you and behind you and as you go into the cathedral taking the usual precautions like Hand Sanitizer making sure you have a mask and then there are special precautions in place for example during the taking of communion all intended to reduce the risk of infection being passed on to an absolute minimum people we have been as talking to say. Yes it is slightly troublesome to go through these measures which are in place at churches this sunday throughout south korea but they are nonetheless thankful that they can once more return to their churches. A bit concerned but it feels we are getting back to normal to such an extent. That i feel grateful and moved to be back in church it made me realize that be took it for granted and that it was wrong. This is being seen as a further sign of life returning to Something Like normal once more and indeed the figures seem to bear out the fact that the worst seems to be behind south korea with only a few new cases being detected every day and most of those coming from outside the concern for the authorities now though is that a sense of complacency or fatigue sets in allowing a resurgence which nobody here wants to see. And its time for the sport has sana thank you very much overall but the n. F. L. Successfully completed its 1st ever virtual draft on saturday this years event had to be done the Via Video Conference and because of the Global Pandemic of the draftees team to recruit the best young talent on offer usually its a massive spectacle with thousands of fans in attendance but that couldnt happen because of the u. S. Is nationwide stay at home order less than 255 players that were drafted is expected to a job out selected as the number one overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals i joined us now from the u. K. To look at the fall out of this years draft is the u. S. Sport world class Michael Carlson mike was a virtual draft smoother than expected. I think it went much smoother than expected and came out as a kind of cross between lifestyles of the rich and famous and well general manager new jersey there was this great moment when they went patriots coach Bill Belichick home office and there was a dog sitting at the computer as if the dog were making the graphics for patriots otherwise it was very smooth a lot of people liked it because it concentrated more on the misses and the draft and we got to see a few of the people involved in that business. Doing the draft a lot of we kind of grit and red carpet stuff that will last few years was missed by a lot of people of course because there is no passport to speak with america or most of the world right now this was the big sporting event of the weekend and we think those were i think more than double the treatment is high the amount of all this talk about they tend to play. The 1st pick is he the real deal. I think so quarterbacks are always flattered by the draft because thats the position of the most we in the end that well so youre not necessarily the best player even though youre the 1st draft pick. I think showed last year winning the National College championship for his State University that he could make most of book throws you need to make that he can hold off under pressure and of course given that hes going to one of the worst teams in the league thats why they have the 1st draft pick hes going to have to do back home he expected. To move in as a starter sooner rather than later and i think you do that your only hope is that playing on a bad team for 1st couple of years doesnt help but wash out some of that salary because youre having to struggle in a bad situation mike in your opinion which team do you think that. The best business you know i think this is a really easy call because the Baltimore Ravens just killed this draft and they did it pretty much by sitting there and letting them and then making great picks with each pick they had so many teams trade up trade down try to get in the right place for a guy weve just got to have and the ravens just look at the board and big who was the best player at that time the other team i think that was really outstanding with the Minnesota Vikings who addressed their biggest needs wide receiver back in the 1st round were solid. After that and many holes to very deep sense that the worst teams were pretty nice even to both in the n. F. C. North of Chicago Bears didnt have their their 1st pick in the 2nd round. Which would be fine except they already had a titans of their os yes yes both both cassel Michael Carson think you very much for that youre welcome.
