Stronghold of the saudibacked president , Abdrabbuh Mansour hadi. In the tank and on the streets, fighters loyal to the president. Opposing them are the houthi militia, backed by iran. And this, the latest video released of the air strikes being carried out by the saudiled coalition. Theyre targeting houthi positions in northern, central, and southern yemen, trying to halt the rebels southward sweep over recent months. Today, irans president called for an end to the air strikes. Hassan rouhani said such a campaign was a mistake and he called for a ceasefire to allow for broadbased talks to resolve the crisis. From the americans, this warning to iran. Were well aware of the support that iran has been giving to yemen. And iran needs to recognize that the United States is not going to stand by while the region is destabilized or while people engage, you know, in overt warfare across lines, International Boundaries in other countries. Reporter aid groups want to halt the fighting to enable more aid to get in. The World Health Organization says at least 560 people have been killed in recent weeks, including 76 children. More than 1,700 people are being wounded, many of them civilians. 100,000 have fled their homes. This evidence of the impact in the capital, sanaa.

The cost of the conflict continues to rise. Mike wooldridge, bbc news. Big human cost as well of course. Aid supplies have begun reaching yemen after a series of delays. Aid groups have described conditions for civilians there as catastrophic. On wednesday, at least 22 people were reported to have been killed by shelling in two residential districts in the port city of aden itself. Well, a resident in aden and joins us via web cam. We spoke on tuesday. Its great that we can actually see you this time as well. Were hearing about aid getting in. Are you getting to see any of it . Yeah, we have seen doctors are coming into yemen. Because we have need for those aid its a big disaster. Lots of people were killed. Does that make you feel any safer or secure in any way . No, i cannot feel safe anymore. They are shooting everywhere and we are in the middle. Like we cannot sleep well these days. We wake up in the middle of the night, hearing bombings gunshots everything. You cannot imagine how emotionally unstable we are now at the moment, because we dont even know where this is going. Like, we dont know whats the end. And we heard you on tuesday. You were talking to us, and you were pretty angry, but you sounded very resolute and determined. I guess, every day that ticks by makes your plight that much harder to bear. Yeah, thats it. Like electricity goes out its starting to get hot food prices going up and up sometimes it doubles, sometimes it triples. We cannot go out. Its been three days and i cannot its a disaster. So what shall we do . Just waiting at home. Well thank you very much for talking to us again. Its good to see you, in vision as well and of course, we wish you the very best and do take care. Very good to hear from someone caught up in the midst of it in terms of what theyre actually having to go through. Because otherwise its all based on reports were getting in from journalists. Iran itself has repeatedly denied accusations that it is providing military aid to the houthis. On thursday, in fact, the iranian president in the last hour has called for a halt to the air campaign, saying countries in the region should Work Together to resolve the crisis. Well tehran has dispatched two navy vessels to the gulf of aden. What does it all amount to . Were getting accusations, counterclaims a as to whos doing what and went. It does seem as if the warships are being sent out there by iran nonetheless. What is the state of play in terms of the iranian support for the Houthi Rebels do you think . Well its interesting. The allegation of iranian support came from secretary of state john kerry just at a time when everyone thought the u. S. And iran would be cozies up because this concern is shared by many of the u. S. sunni allies in the region. And now he comes out against warning iran. Its never clear. We just dont know what we have as a background to the, way back in 2012, before the houthis rise in power. U. S. Officials were telling u. S. Media that Iranian Revolutionary guards were sending military equipment to the shiite rebels back in 2012. And a year later we had the Yemeni Government parading a ship they had seized with iranian ammunition. Obviously, the houthi rights to power cannot be maintained militarily without some kind of support and iran has a very strong geopolitical interest in having . So this is really about putting two and two together and coming up with four. But on the basis of what weve seen and the evidence in the past, which would suggest that iran is playing a pivotal role in terms of assisting the houthi . Absolutely. Iran has a very strong geopolitical interest in maintaining its presence next to its regional rival which is saudi arabia. Of course, iran would like to have a friendly base next to the under the sunnis nose, the same way that they have a strong base against israel in South Lebanon with hezbollah. So iran, of course would always like to show its presence and project its power against all these other states in the middle east. We heard about the huge pressure that these poor people are caught in and under day by day. The fact that iran has sent a couple of warships into the gulf of aden, does that suggest to you that they should expect an extended period of grief frankly, because that doesnt look like a terribly comfortable maneuver. Yes, i think thats a very fair assessment. I think by sending these naval vessels, iran was more wanting to send a very powerful message to saudi arabia and other sunni countries, that iran will not, you know will not forego its interests in yemen rather than trying to use those vessels to send in more, perhaps, more military aid to the Houthi Rebels which i think is not possible by two naval vessels. All right, well leave it there, but thank you very much indeed for that. And i should say that you can get all the latest on our website and that includes a report where residents from aden and sanaa tell us that daily battle is like for them. You got a flavor of it in the program here today but go to bbc. Com news for more on that. To india now, a country which has made massive progress in getting more of its children into school. Thats according to a new global report by unesco. There are still major weaknesses in the countrys education system. Reporter inside a Government School in delhi, most of the children come from poor backgrounds. The School Provides them with books and uniforms, and of course there are no fees to be paid. Most indian children now go to school. But some of the older ones have to balance their desire to learn with the need to support their families. Most of the children come in the morning, but then in the afternoon go to work in small factories or even at home. They tell us if they dont do that, their family may not have enough money to buy food. At midday, its lunchtime. The students are made to wash up before being served a simple but hot meal, provided free by the government, its one of the big reasons why parents send their children to school. The children are now back in the classroom, tucking into mare meal of lentils and rice. Many of these children come from poor or modest backgrounds, so this is possibly the only proper meal theyll have all day. And its one of the reasons they like coming to school. Its the cornerstone of one of the most ambitious Free School Lunch programs anywhere in the world, because at this very moment, 120 Million School lunches are being served up across india. But while Primary School enrollment in india is now very high, there is a significant dropout rate. Many children, especially in poorer areas, are unable to finish school, because they have to find work, or in the case of women, get married. Having children drop out earlier, having not completed four or five years of education, means that their ability to develop these basic reading, writing, speaking skills is at risk. So schools let out now. Lets find out if these children like coming to school. And more importantly, what are they going to do with their education . [ speaking Foreign Language ] doctor. Police policeman. Pilot. Pilot. Three very different professions. Reporter big dreams. But some of them may never see them through. Indias made big strides from bringing children to school. The challenge is to keep them there. Greece is expected to pay back 450 Million Euros. The deadline comes on day two of the greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras visit to moscow. But our correspondent, chris moras is watching developments for us from athens. Chris, no question that this 450 million, thats going to be forthcoming, isnt it . Yeah it is. Weve been told by the finance ministry that the payment has been authorized. Its just now a technicality for it to go through later in the day. I think its been clear for a couple of days now that that payment would be made. I think theres no doubt that the greek government has had to scrabble around a little bit to find the money. It raises a few piggy banks here and there. And its clear this cannot go on indefinitely. There are bigger payments coming out next month and in june and july, in particular. And within weeks, weve been saying this for a while but i think within weeks, the money will run out. And we now know that eu officials last night meeting with their greek counterparts in brussels basically said, look, you have six working days left before a meeting of eurozone finance ministers before the end of this month. And during those six months we have to come to an agreement on a new set of reforms, which will enable us to release further funding for you. Because if you dont get that, then there is no funding from anywhere else coming in. Right. Only a few weeks ago that we were talking about a bit of a breakthrough in the way in which the government was operating with the eu. Thats all gone a bit poisonous again, hasnt it . Reporter i think the problem is that syriza it comes from the radical left. We havent had a government from the radical left in power in a west european country for decades. And they are fundamentally ideologically opposed to much of the way that economically the euro zone operates. They came to power, saying they want to get rid of all of these austerity measures. And theres a real kind of ideological gulf between what they believe is the way forward and what many other countries in the euro zone believe. And i think thats one of the big differences from perhaps previous chapters of this greek crisis back in 2011, 2012 when at least you had a government here that was trying to sing from the same song sheet. Now, theyre saying, no, weve got to do things very, very differently. And thats why compromise is becoming so hard to find. Chris thank you very much. Well reports from afghanistan say that gunmen dressed in military uniforms have stormed a Court Complex in the northern afghan city of ma czar mazaresharif mazaresharif. The gunmen is still inside the building and they are exchanging fire. Coming up in a moment could cubas famous cigars be u. S. Bound .

Choose delta than any other airline. Now, all eyes will be on whether an historic meeting occurs between president obama and cubas president , raul castro, on the sidelines of the summit of the americas in panama over the next few days. Now, the last time an american president and his cuban counterpart met was more than 60 years ago. Our north america editor, john sobel, is in havana to see what the cubans make of this sudden thaw. Reporter it is today a little piece of paradise. Its also where americancuban relations went horribly wrong. This is the bay of pigs. He was in the trenches successfully fighting off the ciabacked rebels. 54 years on, he and his friends only want friendship with barack obama and the american people. I would say to obama, we love you like we love fidel and raul. I would tell all americans that when they come we would receive them with open arms. The lincoln continental. A very rare car to find anywhere. Reporter and the americans are coming. These californian car enthusiast enthusiasts are here to marvel at the living motor museum that is havana. 1950s chevies buicks, studebakers everywhere you go. Today the americans are here to look, but how long before its to buy. One of the concerns that i have as an american citizen is that there are going to be people who will want to come down here and find those cars that you just dont see that are not available. And you know, and buy them and bring them back home. But from this former palace formed by castro as cubas main weapon in the battle for exports, torpedos of the cigar variety. Its become a factory where even today, everybody cigar is still hand rolled. And from where theyll be delighted to conquer the 3 billion a Year American market thats been shut off to them for more than half a century. There is a passion. They want to smoke cuban cigars. The fisheries are amazing, but we know we have to work. We have to work hard to get one part of the u. S. Market. Progress may come at a price. Its likely that these fabulous bits of 1950s americana will be shipped back to the states. But about the starbucks, the mcdonalds, and the hotel chains . Yes, cuba may have got richer but will it have lost some of its individuality . Some of its soul . The person you might see wrestling with this problem is geraldo hernandez. He was imprison for 15 years and he was released at christmas and is being tipped to replace raul castro as president. We can see what happened right now in many small countries, there are, they say penetrated by big corporations and most american corporations. I certainly hope that thats something that wont happen in cuba. Reporter whats clear is that cuba needs investment and badly. Its infrastructure is crumbling. 90 miles separates this fishermans line from the american coast. The unbridgeable divide for cubans is almost no more. John sobel bbc news, havana. The economy stupid. Do you remember that Campaign Slogan . It was bill clintons when he fought the 1992 president ial election. And traditionally, that one issue stands above all the others when it comes to a major vote. Well the same can be said for the uk and in next months general election. But the impact that immigration is having on both the economy and society has been riding rapidly up the list of key issues this time around. A recent poll shows that the immigration question bothers more people than anything else after economy and health. Especially in areas where the economy is in thex doldrums. Our correspondent ben brown, is in the british, well, seaside town of grimesly here ben. Its fair to call it a onetime great fishing port, because its been a long and slow decline hasnt it . Yeah were in the port here, david. It has been a decline in terms of the Fishing Vessels that used to go out and catch fish. Although actually, that industry has been replaced somewhat by a lot of offshore wind farms and also food processing. Having said that, unemployment here is relatively high. Its about 10 at the moment, compared to the National British average of about 6 . There is quite a lot of anger when you talk to workers here about immigration. We were just talking to a couple of fishermen young fishermen. They were saying, too many Foreign Workers coming in here, taking their jobs. But having said that actually, in this constituency of grimesby only about 4 of the population are immigrants. So its a reallytively low number of immigrants, but there is this sort of anger along the eastern seaboard in england. A lot of anger about immigration, and that is where the uk independence party, who are fighting in this election for much lower immigration and to pull out of the european union, theyre targeting ones like this one here. And how close are they to taking seats like grimesby then . This is an interesting constituency, david. It used to be a safe labor seat. The last election the conservatives did pretty well here and came within just a few hundreds votes of taking the seat. They didnt quite manage to. But guess what . The conservative Party Candidate from the last election has now defected to uk to the uk independence party. So they believe that actually they can do pretty well by targeting these issues of immigration and a european union. I suppose the danger for the conservative party is that uk will split their vote, so that actually labor could sail home, because the tory vote will be split by uk. Were running out of time. Very briefly, the leader, Nigel Farrar Farage was up on your patch. What reception did he get . It was a bit of a chaotic day, to be honest. We have a picture of him from the grimsby telegraph.

Why are so many aboriginal girls and women missing all found dead if one of the safest countries in the world . A week after the massacre at garissa university, kenya tries to restore Public Confidence in its Security Forces. And also in the program, aarons back, talking about a huge oil find right here in england, almost under our feet here. David, that could be mammoth. Yes, a small exploration firm that initially found a small deposit of oil says now there could be more than 100 billion barrels of oil in the south of england. We have the chairman joining us and well find out what this means for britain and what it means for global energy. Canada issed widely regarded as a very secure country to live in, and yet, recent Police Figures show that over the past few decades an alarmingly high number of aboriginal women and girls have been murdered or gone missing. Now, aboriginal women are four times more likely to be murdered than any other Canadian Women. Our reporter Joanna Jolley, has been to the city of winnipeg, where just last week, another aboriginal girl was attacked. Shes gone to look at why native Canadian Women seem to be so at risk. Reporter Tina Fontaine was 15 when she went missing from the streets of winnipeg. Last summer, she left her home to visit her aboriginal mother in the city. She never returned. Tina was murdered. Her remains found weighted down in the red river. The main river that runs through winnipeg. Winnipeg. Ive seen lots of homicides. This is new to me. This is certainly new, the way that tinas body was disposed of. I havent come across that before. Just asked me how i felt. Reporter tinas foster mother still cant believe shes not coming home. I felt like somebody ripped my heart out of my chest. I never just thought it would hurt so much. To know that someone would do that to a little girl. Reporter tinas death shocked winnipeg not just because of its brutality, but because dozens of aboriginal women and girls have gone missing or been murdered here. There was claudette osbourne, whos been missing since 2008, and just a few years earlier, the severed body parts of her 16yearold cousin flipill pee phillipia were found in the red river. Aboriginal girls are more likely to be murdered by strangers than other weapon. And many meet their killers in places like this, winnipegs red light district. The police allowed us to film them on an undercover patrol as long as their faces were hidden. They say 90 of the women working here are aboriginal. From what weve seen since weve been in the unit, i think the youngest was 17. And the oldest was in the 60s. Reporter these streets have claimed the lives of many women and a monument to their memory stands near the red river. Those who lobbied for the memorial say that Canadian Society often blames the women because of their lifestyle. Assign the blame where it belongs. Assign the blame to the men all across the streets of canada that stalk and prey upon the most vulnerable and marginalized of our society. Reporter the police in winnipeg say theyre doing as much as they can but all canadians need to be involved in the solution. And just last week, the city was shaken again when another 15yearold aboriginal girl was attacked. She disappeared from the same location as tina was last seen before she was murdered. Well, Joanna Jolley joins me now on set. Its a pretty wretched story isnt it . You focused on winnipeg. Is that the key to it, or is this across the country . Sadly this is a story that exists all across canada. The Police Figures say that 1,200 women have been murdered or gone missing across canada in the last 30 years. And we found sort of hot spots in various places. For instance, in the western provinces, British Columbia theres a highway which has been called the highway of tears, because so many women, most of them aboriginal, have gone missing or their bodies have been found after they were hitching on the highway, or they were just trying to get from a to b or maybe they were working in a cafe along the highway. And you also have this problem in the capital and you have it in toronto. Its everywhere in canada. Right. I mean its pretty gruesome stuff, isnt it . And a lot of highrisk lifestyle choices, if choice is the right word. Why are they doing that . Well, a lot of people say choice isnt the9n right word. These women were born into a cycle of poverty, which has been made worse by Government Policies over the last hundred to 150 years. They work to separate aboriginal families, take the children away from parents, put them into Residential Schools or adopt them out in order to break up sort of enclaves of aboriginals to be together. And because of this many aboriginals went to abusive Residential Schools, they werent parented themselves, they didnt know how to parent they had children very young they werent able to look after them, quite often these children got into drugs often had children young and the cycle continues. But youre talking about policies that go way back. Surely, the government has adapted in more recent times . Well, certainly there has been more adaptation as you say, and this Residential School policy stopped in the 1990s. And there has been a lot of money pumped into aboriginal reserves and into communities, but at the same time theyre still a marginalized group in society and theyre not able to break the cycle of poverty, and thats why the police in winnipeg, in particular said come on we should get together as a society, to deal with this problem, and not just leave it up to the police who are dealing with the front line of it, but stop it before it starts. Thats the challenge, isnt it . Joanna, thank you very much, indeed for that. Well, you can learn more about this particular issue by clicking on red riverrbeon women. Join a special report online, or listen to canadas red river murders. That is also online. On a slightly lighter mood here, the greatestever golfer, possibly. Well, at the angelge of 75, Jack Nicholas may not be that now, but he has just chalked up a new achievement. He was playing inging at augusta and the golden bear carted his first hole in one, the ball landing just beyond the pin and rolling back into the cup. He won the masters a record six times in his career. Hell be joining other greats for the ceremonial tee off. That is just about in an hours time at augusta. The United States has deported former head of el salvadors National Guard after a lengthy legal battle. General casanova was found responsible for Human Rights Violations during the civil war in el salvador in the 1980s. Now, because of an amnesty in his home country, he faces no charges there. Counterterrorism police are taking over the investigation into the murder of a former imam in london. Abdul hadi arwani, a British National who was born in syria, was a critic of president assads regime. He was found shot dead in his car on tuesday. A postmortem will be taking place later in the day. His family says he was the most peaceful man you could ever wish to meet. Lets move on to aaron now with well, its a big scandal, its long running, and weve got a conclusion. Yeah, remember enron . Cant forget enron. This is indias version of enron. Also, i just heard greece has paid us money. So well talk about that shortly. Hello, there. Yes, the boss at the heart of one of indias biggest corporate scandals, this man right here, has been jailed for seven years and has also been fined about 19 million after being convicted by a court. The collapse of sattian computers six years cost shareholders nearly 2. 3 billion and certainly rocked the countrys i. T. Industry. Lets go straight over to mumbai. Sam Samira Hussein there. Seeing you in mumbai, usually in new york, you get around. How did that i do and it how did they siphon the money or sip this money around . Elwell, aaron, you know it comes down to really cooking the books. And thats really what happened here. And this really came out after an admission by the founder and at that time in 2009 the chairman of the company, and what happened is, they basically admitted to cooking the books and falsifying their profit reports for almost ten years. Well that really rocked the i. T. Industry because this company was really seen as one as someone as a darling of the i. T. Industry. They were able to really get on the idea of outsourcing, and they were hailed as being this company that was really being able to build itself up, through hard work and dedication. And it seems that that actually wasnt necessarily the case. As you rightly pointed out, it cost shareholders 2. 3 billion. And today after six years a verdict has finally come down and all ten people have been found guilty. And when it comes to the founder of the company, hes been sentenced to seven years in prison and a fine of about 1 million. Let me yeah lets touch on that. Because, you know you just mentioned, and i mentioned shareholders lost 2. 3 billion. Its been called a 1 billion scandal. And if you look at those in charge of enron and many will say responsible for its collapse. Kenneth lay, although he did die before he got sentenced, he was going to be given a 20 to 30year jail term. One of the other bosses also serving 14 years of a 20year jail term. Seven years, though for some say thats quite light. Well, thats what a lot of people are saying here in india. That this doesnt really necessarily fit the crime. Especially when you consider just how much money was lost. Ion, and i think what this really means is that were going to be seeing a lot of people going over the ruling here. Because this could have implications for corporations in india. Theyve already made changes to how Companies Operate and theyve made changes to the laws, but there are still more changes to come. Corporations will be pouring over the ruling to make sure theyre also compliant. Now, to be clear aaron, you know, this was this sentence was given down by a lower court. So it is possible that the accused are going to appeal the verdict and theyre going to appeal their punishment as well. So this may not necessarily be the absolute end to this. Samira, i know youll keep across that and update us as need be. Thank. To greece now, as promised and as youve been hearing its battle to avoid defaulting its debt and being force out, the drama continues. The imf are refusing to lend greece anymore money unless they are satisfied its making enough reforms to its economy. Well, it met its deadline to pay 450 Million Euros today. Good news, but i tell you what that is just a tenth of the almost 4. 6 billion euros it must find over the next two weeks to make various debt repayments as well as paying state salaries and state mentions. Analysts are warning that this could push greece into default by may. Well a senior strategist at the bank of america, Merrill Lynch formerly worked for the imf. He explained earlier the challenges greece faces over the coming few days. Indeed, they found the money to pay the imf today but they 27u aqq key challenges ahead to avoid a default in may. First, they immediate to reach an agreement by the Euro Group Meeting on february 24th. We need to see sufficient progress in the negotiations that we will lead to a deed. Second, the Greek Parliament will need to vote on a new program with the rest of europe, that will include a number of reforms and measures. And we still dont know if they have the votes or not. The government has not talked to parliament yet. And third they need solutions to fund the government in the meantime, because of the large majorities ahead, including to the imf in early may. Okay. Were going to keep across the greek is aga, but were going to talk now about what it takes to get oil out of the ground because an Oil Exploration firm here in the uk has announced that there could be up to 100 billion, 100 billion barrels of oil beneath the south of england. At once mentioning that the uks north sea oil has produced about 45 billion barrels in the past 40 years. So pretty significant find, certainly, and were going to find out just how big it is for the global stage. Lets get more. David lengraf, great to have you in the studio. From one to another, i think we can say, this is a who werepper o of a find. In terms of other finds around the world how significant, how big . I want to clarify the 100 billion number that seems to be floating around. Thats other peoples views. All im around to comment on is the tip of the iceberg thats the area. Thats the area where we just drilled the new well. And weve identified 158 Million Barrels per square mile. We have 55 square miles there, and the wheel basin is 1,100 square miles. But back in the states, youve got eagle shield, and this is pretty similar. And what we particularly like about what were finding in the horse hill wheel is its conventional weald. And good oil . Very good oil. All those finds you were mentioning around the world doesnt that give all of a sudden the uk British Government a very strategic resource tool . Well, tools a good word. Its going to take a lot to develop a field like this and people with much bigger pockets. So lets not get around that, but this is not my oil this is britains oil. This is for the people who live there, for the government to make a decision on what they want to do potentially with this strategic resource. What weve done is drilled a hole deeper than 65 and used modern Analysis Techniques and found a very sizable chunk of oil sitting within a big sponge of oil. So, its really what britain really wants to do with the strategic resource, and where they want to be, you know, seen as Global Players in the Energy Market you know for the next few decades. Well, you mentioned, and youve been in uk long enough to know that certain parts of the population that are living in this area maybe you know, may not want drilling. But no fracking talk. Were talking about noding donkeys. The nice thing about this deposit is its multiple thick bands of limestone which are already naturally fractured. And, you know, its normal, conventional sort of oil recovery. 60 of the worlds oil comes from limestone sources. Is this a game changer . In the global picture or certainly gives the uk more power, doesnt have to rely on well, if its developed i mean its really up to britain on how they want to sort of look at this resource. Its sitting not far from gatway. I remember when i first got out of the car and said, wheres this place were going to go drill a well and he said, 1. 2 miles from gatwick north terminal car park.
