have results according to our broadcast partners here in the united states there was a conference call between the party hierarchy and the campaign managers of all the campaigns things got so testy on the call it's been reported that the democratic party put the phone down on the campaign managers and no we are being led to believe there is a possibility that there won't be any results tonight we are expecting the results know to come out at some point and choose the what's the problem here for the democratic party in iowa had decided that it would tally all the caucus votes using a brand new and if there was a problem with the then people would use a phone line to call in well there was a problem with the app and you know what happened of course there was a problem with the phone line as well so they're trying to tally and confirm all of these results the one of the candidates done well they've come out thank people for their vote many of them of claim victory people to judge you said he's claiming victory and moving on to new hampshire and others have followed suit from what we can gather from some of the results that have been made public it's been a good night for bernie sanders we think that he is going to come in 1st but of course there are so many votes still to be declared but it's been a bad night for joe biden for so long the airlie front runner it looks as if he is going to come in somewhere possibly thought possibly even 5th a number of campaigns obviously. not figuring in the final reckoning it is going to be a very difficult night for the democratic party here in iowa but also this calls into question the whole idea of caucuses rather than primaries and also calls into question why iowa is 1st in the nation many people want to change that status that call will get increasingly lowder after the events of the last few hours allan thank you hong kong has reported its 1st death from the coronavirus it's the 2nd day talented from the illness outside of

there's the headlines the news continues on al-jazeera after causing a world stage in terms of watching ivan. robin respected in the stirring t.v. address from the 1970 s. the audience is the people of yemen and the speaker is the president of the yemen i remember republican we met and i thought. that. this message is one of unity that i'm a country divided can heal its differences and move forward. with. radical remember i did. that in memory but i. feel that you have a bad credit here and somebody. said the president's ambition would be fulfilled within a few years however brutal events of the banquet would end up really shaping the course of yemen's history. well. at home but. this is the story of a murder an assassination that took place over 40 years ago the killing occurred in the yemeni city of sana'a and the victim was none other than the country's president ibrahim. it's a murder that still resonates today in a nation that is still deeply divided added all its with its neighbors. in this film. from al jazeera arabic will reveal a chain of events that is in every sense stranger than fiction a timeline to the political assassination of president. a killing that took place on an october day in 1977. even though while hamdi was assassinated over 4 decades ago all recent protests have evoked the memory of the dead leader here in 2011 protestors against yemeni president ali abdullah saleh hark back to times past and how at the end of the leave it at that after a day a man met the case yes. the man and. mouat. a man they call him the end of the hour well and you've been assessed to them what have we. who are not yet have a lot at them sort of we'll be telling. us at the end of our look at the style of a vehicle on the order of ahmed and. hyundai defined what it meant to be a yemeni because there's an entire generation of yemenis. who's looking for their humvee their humvee who defined what it meant to be a yemeni who defined with the yemeni state and everyone is looking for that today and we ask where is our humvee what said i'll be apart from leaders before and after him was that he bore the personal charisma of a reformer and a modern asked his country north yemen was divided from its neighbor in the sun of authority lay not in the hands of central government but with a number of powerful tribes. saw himself as a force that could unite a divided country. and none of them even now. and millions will have had as always alan which has made our awful recchi lot of the way that i have managed to lash out and have like a low number. as have a canner. well brought up a well back i have i'm well. i really help i like theatre the guest said that he should look at the real me a man nothe. cream he. you've got a little more business try to live you know. i'm going to home. well yemen has never been as prosperous as its gulf neighbors it does occupy an important strategic position at the mouth of the red sea. historically yemen had been ruled by and divided between the ottoman and british empires the north declared independence in 1962 and the south in 19673 years later south yemen would become the only marxist country in the region allying itself with the soviet union. meanwhile ibrahim a humvee was becoming a rising star of yemeni politics in 1992 he was transferred from a mid ranking military role to become deputy prime minister and later that same year deputy commander in chief of the armed forces 2 years later our humvee emerged as the figurehead of the self-proclaimed corrective movement a manifesto for an imminent crude atar. andy hiller. canard that is listen is that colored letters they'll go out that again they allow to starve the press have. so over the year. they yell handy fee as i was allowed back at the umbrella handy goodbye there over the. latitude. on the 13th of june 19 17400 made his move this british embassy cable from the north yemen capital sanaa reported the resignation of the event president. there were other high profile resignations on that day clearing the decks for the arrival of a new president the transition was bloodless and for the 1st time a modernizer was at the helm of the yemen arab republic. i mean it's the colorful color of drama really let there be a shade of you but i haven't had what i gathered. yet and it was honorable of the last 11 from the assume we dearly helena took a double down damaged our medical school limb to cut the amount of the limb and held it the lot whenever you take women act as quo there's only one coffee visit our work at the level we're going to have him the was only the robberies that are in the. the love a simple dollar. it was $974.00 and president al hunt his victory celebrations were short lived his 1st priority was to build confidence with neighboring saudi arabia a country that was bigger more powerful and far wealthier than impoverished north yemen hyundai's 1st official visit was to the saudi capital riyadh aiming to maintain good relations yet reduce dependence on saudi arabia who wielded considerable influence over yemen's powerful times. as the incoming president our humvee was walking a tightrope his instinct as a modernizer was to bring the reins of power into the capital but that meant wrestling control from the tribes who had traditionally run yemen. one of. those to create modern armed force that would not be organized tribally would be composed of units that were mixed personnel that would therefore be loyal to the hierarchy chain of command rather than the particular chefs. have are going to be. very accurate account welcome and i will be and i'll get a lot out. of the a lot of it but i had. that. on the 27th of april 975 president all handy issued a decree which effectively centralized control of the army. no longer tribes wield great influence over the military the new power brokers would be our humvee and army officers loyal to the new president. then the motherfucker say ask listen to the talk of the most human being. possible human problems in the field we're looking to know how to put into the hands the bare wood you would. man a good ol black hearted and let them get absolute with the death and let them sell half an ass in. that effort to get out it's about. how he how he'd allow themselves i demanded that the and just let them sell a lot of the family get the black shetland. yemen in the 1970 s. was desperately poor and kept afloat by foreign aid are hardly believed that this dependence on aid fundamentally weakens both parts of yemen he formulated a 5 year development plan harnessing local co-operatives their goal to economically place yemen on its own 2 feet. when every mile hamdi came to power in $974.00 as a charismatic figure a populous with a clear political plan and he knew that in order to bring about the kind of changes that he wanted to see in the country that it was necessary to strengthen the government institutions. and i think his vision was to build upon the success of these local cooperative associations he was certainly the 1st one to express a vision of using the cooperatives as a national organization and a way to build up a national political base. from the cooperative movement. if you. will if. he thought would be that kind of december could do nothing and if you. have a good. kind of. beyond the borders of north yemen continue to develop international relations including with the soviet union who had close ties with neighboring south yemen in march $977.00 regional security top the agenda at a red sea summit meeting in the yemeni city of tire it's being claimed that the thai summit there were rumblings of an assassination plot against. here. live it up but then. what care can murder me i'm a mere who here and suburb and. half of the whole merits of the island you're poor the whole of. the modern mother dies a lot of their commits but. come out of it if it's a let go they have been fairly dark them some of them are. there as well as other tournaments neither of them had that and in less than an advantage of my mother who are. men and i'm only a hill of intelligence only i develop a lot of. wind of one gathering and blood and i know b.s. and the child in the story i don't think it was that it had to do one and i will do that in kenya and what about when i elected sag i'll do tom and i didn't have a lot of sodium does your fill of spectacles and hover the letter so if you hear a sort of unit up a do and having to do a little you're full of of another that in geology of the magic the how to serve you you can and do math and these are limited clean well if i'm a father either. around the same time a humvee met his southern counterpart president salamat i.b.r.d. in a town straddling the north side of border they committed to improving relations and to begin steps to unify yemen into a single country both leaders agreed to sit down again 9 months later in the southern city of aden the stage was set for the 1st visit by a north e.m.t. leader to the marxist regime in assam a 100 however would not live to keep disappointment. fairly mean with all sort of happening there it deserves. then you can learn what i do know as and learn yet or through the editor and then no more and that is certainly some of the you could have heard about i had to work guernica philip and come home to talk about the hidden meaning you can get in and out but he got a lot of that is that it doesn't have it in a magic that power what it to come what it must be that a. lot and it is time it was an alice that be the lair miss alice as well as how he'd a limited that if a yemeni government is what that land levy gonna be tallied election i wish that i've got one actually you know been a lot done in a shuttle issue mally well let's. say a dimwit at least a few will and has a lemon to laugh at colonel market developer in a time when a lunatic and i don't have a lot so far to learn he has yet to return to do as you can without the consent of a mystical amity and if you. would do so here. you can look at the going to his elimination silver to manila and either any concert was not going to be. here in the us i don't so i don't i'm there isn't one to convene up. here that i love and your cool i am again you were enigmas up how the rock i have written about i'm going to love their mother and took an arsenal song out. under the stewardship of our humvee german appear to be on a fast track to unification one of supporters welcomed the idea some domestic opponents and a more powerful neighbor viewed the prospect with less enthusiasm the saudi role in yemen has always been complex. has always been complicating the saudis did not like condi in the end toward the end they saw him as independent of them of course they saw him as perhaps threatening because he was able to consolidate the country behind him very difficult thing to do in yemen. and he also had particular international efforts to try and rope the relationship with the south yemen and now the saudis would be very. anxious if there were any moves to unify the country all good days for him neat and no. doubt about me much ruler. and what any any other would mean not sure that he had any. good enough so if that is so the. and yet that minister. you give and she'd. had. and machine mini me he could have been at the party and. not wanting to risk alienating the country's neighbor president of hamdi flew to saudi arabia his aim to reassure the saudis that his desire was to forge a new relationship one that looked toward shared and prosperous future according to president al homsi spokesman to accompany the leader the visit ended prematurely. never has involved at the military. who should. have. seen the. we certainly had better better had. congress there were. around with back then lou when you have an issue from the us or in your head when. you had another of. your own or. help and. can raise. money to an adverse event who would refer to her now and almost anything who would later walk the line . of brain or a shade but he would. look out of yesterday. sadly not be tacky. and just sort of. yemeni just kind of the to have come because many of them is that that's true dia be better. be topic. be number. he said don't haina be not all that to me he said was that i what i eat what i had needed a living yet he did that will be. meanwhile back in nor famine loyal associates warned comedy that he was over reliant on untrustworthy military leaders notably his army commander. with the number one and i mean him do anything but here over there the head of them 2nd and then an unknown are going to have. a heavy work on your lawn and i think. they said. well who are honeys. where they want to build a lot of. how they're going to have a lot of can my habitats out the other living a 3rd of them of that i took a 4 by 4 room with a 5th that there are open to the saudis that resorted to the most favorite and most . tried and true i hate to say true it wasn't but which is to pay off give money to those tribes that they thought would support them and what it meant was create problems for the central government in this case humpty to try to keep him from becoming too strong and i think in the end they just decided he was a threat and decided to remove it. says he was in the latter literally if he's got a cellar certainly can endure and has and it's only. the latin america the levy to. blame and if it's an out of the national. i would lead a sort of. well i will not have. a muggle family got a. galley egypt and if i listen to the russian. or not know why i did it in early gatlin little english me big whether it be yellow with the will get at him an ear. just read a brilliantly or can with i'm an academician who cannot govern as i led the last letter to leslie collective was subtle and i got a lemon a vase or shade of brown and the ethnos will in again a measure. president our humvee however dismissed suggestions that the army commander of hashmi was plotting against him he argued quite the opposite that our hashmi had been consistently loyal to throughout his presidency. by the commander can you be a priority raymond how do you know where you work and then i would go i could have a no know how i know that the beat with no question. was lacking he would have you can happen on your for the. crimean guards who quickly read their merriment get your quickly read learn how the academic is like. human their local

some suspected army commander madoff hashmi of plotting against a. 9 month said pa since president a humvee had met his southern counterpart it was approaching the 14th of october and the 2 leaders were due to meet an agent for what many expected would be an important announcement about reunification of north and south yemen. had a so if you have the allegation we'd like to have the other. kind have more room and i have about him the allowed while is that i'm the guy that could have the kind i was shocked at the father got out to him. so far to the how without commuter commuter that never no longer the poor what a sad little way out. according to now declassified the u.s. state department documents me invited al homsi to lunch at his home in sanaa it was billed as a celebration to mark the return to the capital of yemen's prime minister who'd been receiving medical treatment abroad. humvee was late and at 130 in the afternoon al-hashmi called the president to remind him of the invitation and the importance of attending. that i do say that but i will all be know you will thank me and that badge the fact that and then i will make the magazine you know we haven't left. i mean i don't say. that there. i there and there you were. one of the 1st to arrive at what became known as the lost lunch was abdullah. a senior army officer and brother of the president the host hashmi had assembled a guest list that was a who's who of yemen's leadership amongst the dignitaries was ali abdullah saleh commander of the thai iis military brigade and a future president. to find out more money came from al jazeera arabic went to paris to meet with a humvee spokesman at the time all the spokesman was not at the lunch he did speak to a key witness. in the lot well what you're hagel and i live the loner american dad of flesh and had the luck. clearly known kind of. community day here in kabul is about us and you can end the week in a. bacon. who barely seen video on recovery will either have a very good on going to the our video and cover. of americans that are according to the eyewitness as the bodyguards waited outside our humvee was welcomed by our cost me and ali abdullah saleh both yemeni presidents in waiting our humvees good fortune was about to run out. in america but i am and i am be. me cannot be alarmed. but 330 gallon i thought. that about a no not. novel and here are only a deadlock and yeah you know. what can you hear. a middle of the road race i can you know my. unknown. but i why not give a lot with alan about work like i'll be a pilot 1st of all of the real problem from where there will be any. credible. the gal of development. and get the. bramble and the sheriff. then why all. who. carlo honey will learn to live with a little you know what i meant let them have any color well if you're going to handle as creating fear. and initiation do. what the. family is. having him do with the holy thing let the. owner rewire if you have a ladder and then cut back well if you got to do that then you could not have been an issue out of he never has a little to. the point where all family walks through the door is where the account gets murky where facts give way to fearing and speculation it's a story with different endings depending on the story teller. the guests were expecting to bait al homsi farewell given that the president was due to fly to aden for all important talks with his southern counterpart the next day as minutes turn to hours our humvees body guards became increasingly concerned. as an idea i hope i don't buy the bait materially babble house i'll go over the top a la limit joe. fogle forever had over i sassed of all those who were over her home at least well hope the courage. to leave had thought malev a good salary. less acetate german about africa beneficially country my life in the morass such as it was and i. said. that i would have held back but the property kind of a negative with. no shock. i live together whether they have come to america you know who can drive a missile and not get. 7 of us obama's have. the president's bodyguards were left wondering how all hamdi could have been assassinated while in the company of his most trusted political allies what should have been a lunch celebration had become a crime scene so what happened that afternoon and who may have been responsible most of those present on that day have since died indeed a number would themselves be murdered later. there are clues however to be found in the archives of western embassies who closely followed events in yemen in $197071.00 american account attributed to all crush me who would before the day's end assume the presidency claimed that unidentified gunman had shot al hindi while in his car. another more lurid account said that al hamdi and his brother had rented a small house or hide away that they had picked up 2 french girls and that somehow both brothers had been murdered not only had the president been killed but it appeared that his character was also under assassination. can live on people who had forget their only. what happened then in get can where when and. how many or why can we say that when i mean. and what of the french connection the 2 women who were said to have been with the brothers not only did the exist but they were indeed murdered in yemen around the same time as president are harmed their names were verily twat and françoise it's cleavon. verily twa had a glamorous lifestyle enjoying the company of film directors in france as glitzy riviera to some she was a high class call go to others she was a spy. to live it in mind of i don't get. dakar now and if she can't or point the police could you if you don't get past it probably paled of only quote actually most of your mocked him as you put it back if you don't if you're only caught in a trance jessica if you're past your you man. a few need to look at is not a locker never you know it was unlikely a man. one of my very good yemeni friends my humblest shammy was a diplomat. and he was. an a friend of his in the embassy in paris her fanny was the person who recruited. these 2 prostitutes and had them and sent them to yemen and i remember her as sami he also cried when he told me that story he was a true believer in the end the role that al handy. was going to hopefully play in the development of yemen so 100 family just thought terrible that he had been the person who had recruited these 2 prostitutes prostitutes who were then killed and thrown into a room with the brothers in order to bring shame in. this respect the respect upon the now how many brothers their family. is the most sort of not could be in this into fam. question. but you are more. cog the this affair or your mini ballot book. you don't really know them or at their own miss you are the last measure get their ms affair contrail a key review on the. line although i was told this a don't go on is a near the middle of the key marco patience the more calm or fair to. say the farmer. or. because it doesn't give it the shots they decide to miss you are more easily is it a party off that you ever did to plan their alliance. on this galaxy now sweet. is it possible to ever find a twat happen. i was a humvee murder and who benefited from his assassination there are several firies the hard facts are in short supply. for the less. valuable us or less a lover co we'll that feeling isn't. alive the loss of that will be what that is to our good little theory. it will be a no actually i mean read the choice but i doubt that assad or one of them that had a belly and got let me. back in i got to know how to get away from the question. also on the list of suspects for tribal enemies opposed to our humvees a rouge in their power others suspected the hand of saudi arabia so i have never asked him how the us got it on a whole day and then thought it had been thought of him who had law and i have asked that it come of a flower she did know so while i was looking at it i was like you that's are the best i like best yet as i might i ask that he get me that a lot of you are in for the love of mild and well i think that the saudis decided to get rid of the simply because they saw him as getting too strong and. undercutting their influence in yemen. able to counter their traditional way of dealing with tribes. 2 weeks after the murder saudi arabia issued an official statement categorically denying any involvement in the hundreds assassination. the denial came after claims within yemen including by a number of foreign diplomats that individual saudis may have been involved in the assassination albeit in directly. their suspicion was that those who benefited most from the crime had links to saudi arabia. the widespread view but i heard from yemeni contacts friends in private of course was that these assassinate this hassidim hamdi was. it was a saudi run operation using yemenis who were in their pay more. people that don't would do their back and among those was crushed me and certainly only dos allah of the summer as the current time is. no one was ever charged with the murder neither me nor stalin evident met at any point in the death of asante. me died just a few months off towards us for ali abdullah saleh he became president in 1978 and would later point the finger of blame at saudi arabia. which it will not own and eat and i will not out of that unless you. damage i have. myself i like. and want to laugh at it. so that you know you can hide eat and you're only at the east don't let me do my talk on the deck and you know how that if he had the deck and he asked me why you have to listen to. the al jazeera arabic examination of the death of a bit of a mile from d.c. has uncovered numerous documents and heard testimony from many who were in yemen in the 1970 s. these include the deputy ambassador at the u.s. mission in yemen who arrived in sanaa 2 months after the murder of a humvee he diplomatic cables from the time have been released others remain under lock and key the reasons why the government might not declassify which is that is the word to make it public would be perhaps there are intelligence sources really there are quotes or connections with individuals who are still alive who might be compromised by what's in the message could be american intelligence people because the yemeni political figures that would be one reason why you might not do it the 2nd might be that there is something in the message which would undermine our relationship it was with another country. another cable this time declassified from british diplomats in saudi arabia in 1977 sheds further details on the denial of saudis. it was in response to news agency reports in the region and to a bulletin on radio moscow the statement added that saudi arabia would stand by those they refer to as their brothers in yemen recognizing the close ties between al homsi and saudi arabia. breaking the news to the yemeni people that their president had been killed was a task that fell to al hunt his official spokesman. he was summoned to the office of all hashmi the recently installed president and asked to draft a statement the result was an announcement that was high on emotion and low on details. i wouldn't ever. usually in mono you know. what you know if you have. a fishy let me get collagen emotional and then i won't let her look at the how difficult work and library warholian if you look at who has had it would happily. badly look to go for can. i have a fever. or the work they are highly. consider that you're 70 then it's sad to think that the crew had a swoop like that can come and tipped over so we're going to like that again oh october this would go into the neck i was in the. bad bad. so the now back to gilligan and we love. you i shall be here many ok. now what the peabody came down i'm going to go with. the coverage morning it. has to shut me up but i was. never. home share this young man that's when you can. manage your money. i mean you need. to shop me have all of us here. either. but. i get. the reaction from the international community to the assassination was mooted there were regrets and sympathy expressed but little else they became our family had been marred by this world was missing or. because they learned with a great sorrow the tragic death of the president of the arab republic of yemen he's excellent to see you bring him mohammad out hyundai must walk a lot of b.s. and let the i would really but it is not a plea at that the other shot. what do. you know what would be a lemonade. buckley i walk if you like it well more. people now have a good habit. and let me i would probably. be. the host of what became
