Rebels. And i walked into al jazeera live from my headquarters in doha with me it is a also ahead saudi arabia wants the u. S. To get moving its embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem saying it will hurt the Peace Process and heighten tensions in the region. Smiles and handshakes but no deal yet. Leaders failed to reach an agreement on brecht said. And secessionists take to the streets and catalonia as election campaigning begins. The killing of yemens ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh by hope the rebels has plunged the country the war torn country further into chaos the two sides had been allies until just a few days ago but this time switching sides led to the end of a man whos been president for thirty three years and navigated shifting alliances for decades and has more. A sudden end for one of yemens most powerful men who the rebels say they killed ousted president aliyev delish sala during an attack on his convoy. His remains were packed on the back of a pickup truck in a televised statement the leader of the said salo was involved in a conspiracy with the Saudi Led Coalition to take over well. What are the reasons behind this transfer to the other side suddenly you talk to the aggressors against your own people salah had been and an alliance with the iranian backed for more than two years together they controlled the capital sanaa and fought against the Saudi Led Coalition which supports the internationally recognized government led by months or heidi but this partnership with the collapse last week sparking major confrontations between salis forces. And the rebels after days of running street battles salah announced he was ready for dialogue with the Saudi Led Coalition if it ended its blockade of yemen sports and airports and allowed for more humanitarian aid yemen is already a failed state its a state where there is no Central Government and the institutions of most of the structures of failed me has failed the war has further destructive it destroyed. So i think in the in the short run we. Saw and the who pushed out how these government in january two thousand and fifteen and set up their own administration prompting the saudi led campaign against them since then the country has been split between the rebels in the north ministration in the south and forces loyal to solid inviting began among the former allies its part fears of a new front in the war a war which has already killed nearly ten thousand people pushed yemen to the brink of mass starvation and triggered what the United Nations has called the worlds worst humanitarian crisis. There have been multiple investigations about the atrocities being committed in yemen all parties are guilty whether its the whole thing whether its the Saudi Led Coalition and you know the u. K. And the u. S. Are largely complicit in this war as well through the billions and billions of dollars worth of arms sales to to the saudis. As yemens president saleh ruled for more than three decades until he was forced to resign during the arab spring uprising that he was able to remain in the country and continue to wield enormous power behind the scenes its not yet clear what his death will mean for the fighting on the ground or yemens future in aljazeera. Well yemens nationally recognized president to rise up against the forces. And i call upon all of you with an open heart and a strong will to turn a new page and to get rid of such a nightmare lets put our hands together to end the control of these criminal gangs and to build a new united yemen fightings escalators and recent aliza reports of airstrikes by the Led Coalition on the president ial palace and tanks are also said to be blocking many streets humanitarian operations including flights to and from the capital have been suspended he won his scorn for a pause in fighting to help civilians caught in the violence it is paramount that civilians are protected that the wounded or afford it say factious to medical care and that all sides facilitate lifesaving humanitarian access we remind all parties. We remind all parties to the conflict that deliberate attacks against civilians and against civilian and medical infrastructure or clear violations of International Humanitarian law may constitute war crimes well the International Committee of the red cross says at least one hundred twenty five people have been killed over the past week from two hundred forty have been engine and thats putting extra pressure on yemens struggling medical facilities many of which have been damaged or destroyed by fighting. The clashes were ongoing the entire night until the morning if someone stepped out into the street or fled they would have a bullet hit them in the head chest or body. He was injured this morning at eight a. M. When he went out to his shop around them bullets hit the wall and then struck his hand the developments in yemen have taken the spotlight away from other regional issues at the Gulf Cooperation Council meeting in kuwait it is the first g. C. C. Summit since a saudi led group cut ties with qatar in june the talks could define the future of the bloc jamal reports from kuwait. The Foreign Ministers of the sixty countries arrived in kuwait on monday ahead of the groups thirty eighth annual summit its the first time senior ministers have met since three of the Member States impose a blockade on qatar back in june saudi arabia the United Arab Emirates have cut off all trade ties with qatar bahrain qatar the citizens from entering their countries and closed off their territorial waters and earth space to their neighbor for six months now its a crisis that struck at the very core of the Gulf Corporation council an organization that was set up to unify through greater trade cooperation and the Free Movement of people for months now has been leading mediation efforts while cutters amir has agreed to sit down and discuss differences with his counterparts kuwaits call for dialogue has not been accepted by the blockading countries thats why this g. C. C. Summit is so important many analysts had believe the organizations future would be in doubt if it didnt take place now that it is the focus is on whether the blockading countries will be represented by the heads of state or junior ministers instead the fact about. How they are going to the meeting and if i gather for the first time it would be possible for them to sit together and to discuss something directly i think it was a positive development already the fact that they send you in your office and instead of the foreign minister i think would be. Going in the wrong direction but its not only the blockade on qatar thats threatening the g. C. C. The war in yemen is proving to be a major challenge for the Saudi Led Coalition which continues to spend millions of dollars while the yemeni people continue to suffer meanwhile unemployment in saudi arabia and across the region particularly among young people is on the rise and g. C. C. Member economies are slowing down this is one of the most important summits in the g. C. C. Is history it has the potential for. Paving the way for relations to be mended and a solution found to a crisis that has torn up the very fabric of the Gulf Cooperation Council but it also has the potential of further damaging what is arguably the only source of stability in an extremely well a tile and unstable region.

Its the border between the republic of ireland and Northern Ireland part of the u. K. Which is emerged as the problem in recent weeks the republic wants guarantees it will remain open with no return to a socalled hard border but if the british really are intent on leaving the Customs Union and the Single Market as well as the e. U.

P. s will support any deal that she brings back. The Prime Minister called to ignore a small party from Northern Ireland who give her that majority in parliament these unionists are opposed to concessions on the irish border which they fear could undermine Northern Irelands future in the United Kingdom. We have been very clear Northern Ireland must leave the European Union in the same terms as the rest of the United Kingdom and we will not accept any form of regulatory divergence which separates Northern Ireland economically or politically from the rest of the u. K. When the. You know they still believe breaks it can be stopped that seems unlikely but the faltering negotiations on the governments weak position mean that almost eighteen months after the u. K.
