Mohamed is in the city and sent this update on whats happening on the ground across the country. Reporter its very tense. We drove to here from aden yesterday, hundreds of check points on the road in a stretch of about 150kilometers. Mainly by popular committees, southern popular committees committees making themselves ready for any possible invasion by the houthis. Rumors about this. We have seen in the provinces the tribes there, some of the most powerful tribes in the area have created a force of 3,000 men, the they mobilized that force and they have said that they are ready to counter any huge a tack. So there is fear across the country. Particularly in the south. The houthis are advancing towards the south and maybe going it might be just a matter of time. Even here from which i am talking to you, it is part of the north but on the border with the south. And it is considered a gateway to the south. And there are fears here that the houthi might try to take it and open the gateway further for the south. We have negotiations but it doesnt mean the war has stopped. Fighting is going on in someplaces and attacks are going on we hear sporadic attacks everywhere in the country. And assassinations also in aden and other parts of the country.

Centcom in washington saying the operation involving 25,000 troops is being planned to start in april or may and theyll try to out the isil fighters who captured the second largest city last june. The pentagon is describing this as a pivotal battle in the campaign in iraq, roslyn jordan has the latest from washington d. C. Reporter up to 25,000 iraqi troops are supposed to launch this socalled spring offensive in order to retake mosul in april or may the big question, are they ready. Since last september u. S. Military advisers have been working with the Iraqi Military toy try to expand their capacity and to basically make them willing to stay in the fight. The targeting of mosul, which is currently being controlled by isil fighters, could be a very disease i ever fight. Of course then the next question would be would u. S. Troops be needed to help the Iraqi Military. The u. S. President has long said he doesnt want to send Ground Troops back in to eye remark the u. S. Military thinks that is the only way that Iraqi Military could succeed if they think that they will make that recommendation. Still too early to tell whether or not this mission could actually succeed given the critical importance of mosul to both the Iraqi Government and to isil fighters. Lets cross to every iraq. Baghdad and speak to imran kahn. So questions as roslyn puts it, imran, about how the American Army will exactly be involved in this poe suggestthis mosul operation when it takes place. But leading up to that, what is the role the u. S. Led co since will be playing in the next couple of months to prepare the iraqi army . Reporter well, thats right, the iraqi army has had u. S. Advisers embedded with it like in Anbar Province so a significant amount of training is going on, Baghdad Airport where some of the troops are based. They have had some success taking by the oil refinery a big success for the eye rally army in conjunction with the training they received from the american forces, we are in a very different situation when we were in june when isil took over huge parts of the iraqi army when they simply disappeared. They are taking the fight to ice and they are preparing the ground. We have heard last week since iraqi officials quoting their u. S. Counterparts this offensive was coming. But the real fear here is what kind of offensive will it be . You are talking about 25,000 troops, thats what the americans are saying. Thats a huge amount of troops, particularly for the size of a city like mosul. And also by some estimates there are only between 1,000 two thousand isil fighters within the town itself. So why is there a need for so many troops . It looks like the iraqis are doubling up and saying, okay, lets take the fight to them and lets be really prepared for this. So there is a lot of questions at the moment on the preparedness of the iraqi troops hence the reason for why so many troops are likely to be deployed in this particular operation, but also a very big question in how and that is how do you avoid civilian casualties. Imran what, about the ability for isil to bounce back . Because we have seen them do that in the past where they have come back and recon sol date in therecon sol dated inother parts. Reporter thats right. We have seen that not only in beiji town itself where the iraqi took the town. Its not far from mosul. They took the town but then were beaten back by isil fighters, mosul is different because it has a key supply line from syria. And raqqa. Which is the unofficial cap taft capital of isil. It has been pounded by air strikes for a month and almost been completely degraded and isil unable to use it. So they wont able to backup from serious which they have done in ice plays also Peshmerga Forces have taken key points in mosul dam and surrounded the city itself. So its more difficult but the real question here, is how do you avoid all of these civilian casualties. These something not very many team are talking did about. The Prime Minister said we welcome american help but avoiding civilian casualties has to be a priority. Remember the isil fighters are effectively holding civilians in mosul prisoner. Any operations against that will be difficult. Isil will take over buildings or the institutions that they have already got and they will use it to try to beat back iraqi forces. This is going to be street to street battle. It wont be easy. And civilian casualties are likely to be. Imran, thank you. Imran kahn reporting from baghdad.

Retailer walmart is saying its boosting wages and benefits for nearly half of its u. S. Workers. Tom ackerman reports on what is behind that move. Reporter the Global Retail giant which earned more than 16 billion in profit last year has become a glaring symbol of corporate greed to labor organizers and some of its disgruntled workers.

Thats still below the National Averages for most hourly retail workers, but its higher on average than what the lowest level staff personnel are paid nationwide. The company also promises to offer part timers more working hours and the chance to pick more predictable schedules. The announcement comes as call mart is reporting its first rise in shopper traffic in more than two years analysts say the concessions are in part a response to Competition Among u. S. Merchants for better trained retail workers. But walmarts new starting wage of 9 an hour still falls far short of the 15 an hour minimum demanded by campaigners.

I dont think i would be standing here talking to you today if i wasnt making artwork. Reporter exhibitions such as this one undoubtedly show how Public Perceptions have changed surrounding mental health. But those who have experience any kind of Mental Illness would say there is still much, much further to go. And that the taboo surrounding it means that people who need help very often dont get it early enough. We dont talk about it enough still. So the vast majority of people who have depression, for example, never receive any treatment at all. Some might go to their doctors with physical complaints, that doesnt get picked up its a psychological dimension, other people fear losing their jobs so they dont ever disclose to their manager or people at work or they fear if they tell their family their family will treat them differently and less well. So people very often dont get to the health system. And when they do sometimes they find the support available isnt really engaging enough. Reporter changing perceptions has taken time. But what this museum proves is that creatively is a very powerful channel for for dealing with Mental Illness. Sonya gallegos, al jazerra london. Can we teach robots morality . The u. S.
