Reporter well lets speak to the editor of the yemen post joining me via skype. Lets talk about the latest bombing. Areas close to the International Airport has been bombed. This is an airport supposed to be receiving economic aid. What are your sources telling you is happening. That is true the air force has been targeted. Saudi announced a ceasefire will start on the 12th, while on the ninth. The houthis wanted to have aid into yemen before the ceasefire and this is what caused them to attack airports. We know that you are trying to do this purply what you think. Attacking the province. Over the last 12 hours alone, 400 air strikes took place in the province and its the Strongest Air strike over the last 48 days. The coalition has been trying to get people to leave sadr. They have been dropping leaflets telling them to evacuate. Are people able to get out. Are they leaving. They wish to leave. There is no buses, cars active. The crisis is so strong that the streets if we go on the road, you will not find cars or vehicles. Theres hundreds of thousands that want to evacuate sadr and they cant do that. They are forced to stay home and risk their lives. A total of 350,000 civilians are stuck in sadr and cannot leave. It will give them a ride outside sadr and those that did leave were forced to go by feat thousands of families walking, tens and hundreds of miles just to leave and thats why many decided to stay back in sadr because of the risk they were taking. Many people obviously, hoping that the ceasefire will start on tuesday. What are people saying to you about their faith, that this will actually happen. I have been sitting with the officials over the last couple of days and informing them that public anger against them is at the highest peak. Since announcing analysis for the ceasefire. Since then there has not been a houthi reply to the saudis. If this may 12th deadline passes without a clear houthi stand or agreement, it could operate against the people with the houthis, because it reached the people who are starving and theres no electricity, no action to petrol or food. It goes back on the houthis if they go against the ceasefire. Indeed.

Fighting in the area near damascus continued between hezbollah fighters and opposition fighters for control of the strategic area. Reporter its thought to be a battle of survival for the syrians.

Russian president Vladimir Putin is hosting the annual victory day parade to commemorate 70 years since the end of world war ii. It marks nazi germanys surrender to the soviet union in 1945. It 25 million russians were killed after hitler invaded the soviet union in 1941. A military parade in moscows red square is underway. Many western leaders not at the celebrations because of russias perceived involvement in neighbouring ukraine. Here is some of what Vladimir Putin had to say. In the past decade the basic International Principles have been ignored. Those invented after the sufferings after the war. We saw attempts at a neopolan wore and forces gaining momentum. All undermining stability, our joint goal should be equal stability for all countries, responding to current threats Rory Challands has more than the parade in moscow. Helicopters, Nuclear Missile launch, tanks, soldiers in uniform. Russia is in the middle of an ambitious military upgrade, trying to make the armed forces better equipped and more professional. Other departments are suffering budget cuts, defense spending here has increased significantly, and this is a chance for russia to show off all that kit. Another thing that is useful is rallying russians around the flag. Its difficult to overestimate the importance of victory day for russians. While other historical anniversaries like the baltic revolution, defeating the nazis is universally assumed to be a heroic achievement. Add to that the number of people that russia lost, or the soviet union lost in that conflict, and you combine sacrifice with victory. Its a tool for russia to be able to unify people, domestically, at a time when its felt here in the country that russia is being bullied and victimized by the west. Lets speak to the International Affairs analyst, joining me from moscow. Good to have you on the programme. Leaders, including president obama not attending the commemorations. Its a sign, isnt it, of how cold relations have become between russia and the west. Well actually yes this is because of their tangents presented between a russian federation, and some other russian western powers. I would like to say that these western leaders who missed this celebration they are probably as there is a general opinion in russia they are probably not taking taking into consideration that those are the victims which the people of their countries suffered during the second world war, and to a greater extent the russian public actually is not so much frustrated that a lot of western leaders didnt come to moscow to celebrate with the russian leadership and the other leaders, and there are more than 30 leaders from other countries, including latin america, china and india came to moscow. They missed a chance. This is this is like they are inviting to a party, and instead of 10 guests, only eight guests are coming. The general russian mood is not frustrated. Its a stark contrast to say, 10 years ago when we had major leaders from france u. S. , germany and the like attending. How is it perceived in russia today. Is it perceived as houthis standing up to the western powers . Well actually. In russia in russia there is a Great Respect for Vladimir Putin, and they are taking his results. He is sky rocketing, and in general the russian public is thinking that the Vladimir Putin is doing the right thing right now, and probably hes standing up to the western leaders. He made russia resurgent in the coming years. And even this very complicated question of acute ukranian crisis is taking in russia is perceived as the crisis which russia shouldnt be taking much care about. And the main thing, actually, that russia is a resurgent country, and that is connected with the name of the russian president Vladimir Putin thank you very much indeed for that.

Now, the World Health Organisation declared liberia ebola free after 42 days without a new case of the virus. Experts are warning against complacency, because new cases are being reported in west africa. Lets look at where it began. The source of the outbreak is known to have been a 2yearold toddler who died in december 2013 in gueckedou, southeastern guinea. It was spread by thousands moving through the region looking for work. Nine months later it was in guinea liberia and sierra leone much establishing how many died is difficult. A minimum of 250 people are confirmed to have died in each of the areas. The actual figures could be double that. By march the whole region was gripped by ebola. There were deaths in all of these areas. The hardest hit, the lighter areas that you can see down by liberia. Each of those 500 deaths were recorded. Again, we think its probably a lot higher than that. The World Health Organisation estimates more than 11,000 died from the virus. Liberia was hit hardest, followed by sierra leone and guinea. Liberia was affected. Caroline malone reports. Reporter these students are the picture of health as liberia is declared ebola free. The virus has not been seen in this country for 42 days, twice the incubation period. I lost my father to the deadly ebola virus. Now i see my country getting back to normal. Im happy ill see my friends play, joke, change hands. The people in neighbouring guinea and sierra leone are dealing with ebola. The World Health Organisation says both countries reported nine new cases in the last week. Thats the lowest weekly total, but it means ebola is spreading. New cases in sierra leone and guinea puts liberians at risk. We know that ebola, on the borders, especially with sierra leone, the entry points in liberia and sierra leone, and guinea. Reporter the disease killed nearly 11,000 people since it was first detected more than a year ago. People with ebola get fevers, diarrhoea and often bleed internally. The virus spreads through bodily fluids and kills half that it infects. Theres no known cure for ebola, but a vaccine has been developed. Trials show its safe and has been used to protect workers in guinea. Like with many fatal diseases that are fatal we rely on a vaccine, trying to avoid capturing the disease is what will help the most. It has been slow to respond to the outbreak, despite warnings from groups like doctors without borders, who dealt with the early cases. There are lessons to be learnt in the health communities. Doctors in liberia are feeling confident. If it happens that we have an upsurge of cases coming back, that would be a new outbreak, which we dont wish for. But if it should come, from the Case Management point of view, we are very well prepared. Reporter 4,700 people died from ebola in liberia, more than any other country. It has got rid of the disease, and although theres a threat of a new outbreak, people are hopeful they have seen the end of the ebola in liberia breaking news from egypt for you.

He has spoken to their leader Nicola Sturgeon and hell have to promise the transfer of pretty significant powers including, we understand, some tax raising powers to scotland to keep them satisfied, and on the issue of europe he delivered on a promise for a european referendum.

Most western leaders were absent after the ongoing crisis in ukraine the death toll from nepals devastating earthquake rose to more than 7, 500. The United Nations said it has received a fraction of the 415 million appeal for aid. Two weeks later the damage is overwhelming. Schools and public buildings could take up to two years to repair. Damage in many areas hasnt been fully assessed. As Andrew Simmonds reports and the monsoon season weeks away the need for help is critical. Reporter more helicopters, more food supplies. After a slowmotion start, demands are gradually being answered. The aid effort is not keeping pace with need. The annual monsoon could mean districts like this one, in the north, could be hut off within weeks. In the east. Where aid convoys drive through parts of the district, many destroyed villages are dependent on deliveries of food. An extraordinary effort will be made by groups of students giving out food packs. Some of them are among the poor. They are not getting a real lot of help further down the road, larger amounts of rice are now being issued. Bigger problems than food lurk in the gloom. The help sign in the village relates mainly to the shelter. This person shoes me what is left of his home. He managed to build a temporary shelter for the family in the rubble. It is inadequate. Tents are in short supply. The tremors continue, it is difficult to do anything. Yet 15km away in the main down, where 10 days ago there was hardly any help, a humanitarian village sprung up.

Almost all of Idlib Province in northwestern syria is under the control of the alliance that calls itself the conquest army. It includes the powerful al nusra front, and others. Translation in the last few months we tried hard to take the area. We couldnt. We were not coordinated or prepared. Now the groups are united we took the town. Most of the residents fled or are leaving, its the strategic significance of the city that really matters. Translation controlling this area means we can cut the government supply roads from the west coast to hama and idlib, and can launch assaults to the coastal areas. Reporter those coastal areas are the heartland of the minority Alawite Community to which the president belongs. They include latakia, the main port in syria, and with damascus is one of the most important governmentheld areas in the country.

Joining me were algiers is a football journalist. A lot of debate in al jazeera as for the reason for this and whether the standard is high or low. What is your take on it . My personal take is the standard is as high as its been, at least on the pitch. We have seen three clubs in a defeat which no other country put three clubs at this stage of the competition when you like to compare them and the International Standard and thats been the best it has ever been. The reason some say its been at a slow standard is because the low number of goals. They have 36 goals in 24 games. We spoke about the issue of crowd violence in algeria football. What impact has that had. In august the cameroonian striker was struck by a project il from his own fans and passed away. Haemorrhaged to teeth, tragically.

Most of those players play abroad. Is that having an impact on the quality of the lead . It does, it does. In the Algerian National team theres 56 players. They were produced from the algerian lead. That raises the quality, and a lot of players are exported at a high level. The fact of the matter is that the majority of players is from the forest born and raised in france and went through french academies. Algerian footballers are not responsible for the levels the heights that they have reached. The next round gets under way in a few hours time. Joining us from al jazeera.
