>> welcome to the aljazeera news hour from doha. coming up, just hours after a u.n. envoy meets yemen's leader, rebels threaten to take control of the a airport. >> fiji's first democratic election in eight years. >> will they or won't they,

scotland votes on whether to split from the united kingdom. >> in sport, another historic vote on thursday, deciding whether to accept women members. >> we begin in yemen where rebels have been clashing with government forces near the capitol. the airport in recent weeks has been the scene of fighting, protestors blocking the main road to that airport and holding sit ins calling for the out of thing of the government. what's going on now, what's the situation at the airport? >> driving towards the airport,

both parties were using heavy weapons. near the presidential residence. that could result in an all-out sectarian war here. the abc sense of security forces, clashes are taking place near the residence of the president. i haven't seen the president at

all. they are in a situation of panic. >> can you confirm some of the reports we've heard is that they have taken over control of the capitol, particularly the northern parts of the capitol. >> they have moved to the heart of the capitol, a strong hold in the capitol. they are moving fighters toward the airport and now moving closer to -- you are talking about hundreds of fighters now present in the capitol and at

the same time -- >> very briefly, as you said, there's no sign of security government forces. who are they clashing with? >> this is what we couldn't determine for the time being.

there are people who live in the university and -- >> >> who are the rebels? it's difficult to gauge the number of people who identify with them. estimates say there are 100,000 in yemen.

they are a minority sect within sheeties and accuse the government of discrimination. they are fighting the government and al-qaeda for control of territory. >> let's speak with the editor in chief of the yemen post, joining us from the capitol. good to have you with with us. first of all, why are they marching on the capitol? are they hoping to take it over or is this just part of the jacking to pressure the government for more concessions in a political deal? >> it's very simple, but also worrying. they don't see any resistance from the government, so why would they stop? the government is not doing anything to stop them or have them stop where they are trying to expand. we've seen them expand in the northwestern borders and today entered through the north. there's no resistance. the government is doing nothing.

today, political leaders were told that militias will be formed. he does not know that he is the president and hat army under the his control. >> why? what's happened to government forces, have they melted away or is he not able to command their loyalty anymore? >> >> he claims that he can not give them orders. that's tough to believe, hard to believe, to be honest with you, because they are under his control. he blames former regime officials for standing within the leaderships of the army and commanders are taking commands from them. this is not an excuse. his troops, his loyal allies are in the thousands and have not

been seen anywhere -- >> why do you think he's not deploying them? if he has thousands of loyalty its, and these guys are marching on the capitol, what's going on? >> he does not want a war to take place. he is fearing that, if a civil war happens in yemen, it will never end. at the same time, you have to ensure that, the expansion is limited. he is not insuring that. that is why the clashes and the expansion is continuing, and will continue as long as they feel there is no resistance from the government. >> we'll leave it there for now. thank you so much for your analysis. >> libya's elected parliament has rejected the new cabinet of the prime minister. lawmakers were demanding a cabinet with no more than 10 ministers. he presented one with 16, another setback for the administration, which has failed to bring libya any kind of

order. there is now a rival parliament set up by rebels. we are joined now from the libyan capitol of tripoli. the reason that parliament rejected the nominations, it wasn't just down to the numbers, was it? >> the parliament and house of representatives rejected the government yesterday for many reasons. maybe on top of them, libya is based on the tribal system and officially in the east tribes in the east wanted to have proper representation in the new government. also, federalism advocates in the east, wanted also to have a representation in the new government. also pro operation dignity led

by the emwanted to have a big share in the new government. we knew that men members of the new parliament yesterday, they rejected the fact that the new government which was submitted yesterday included ministers who served in the old i want terrier ministers that were labeled by the people as failure if i might say so. they said it literally. they said we want the new government with new faces. in this case, the parliament asked to reshuffle his government, but a new cries government to include only 10 ministers, too include the major or the most important which happened today, this morning. he submitted a new government,

crisis government to include only ministry of foreign affairs and ministry of defense, ministry of interior and ministry of health and affairs martyrs, they say martyrs, affairs. >> they will resubmit it again now, according to the internal legislation, there are 10 days to submit his new government. also there was a kind of dispute if i might say among the members about him. he used to be the caretaker government in the last interim government, and he was sacked by the general national congress

despite the war and threat of u.s. airstrikes, she is desperate to go home. >> we are scared of the airstrikes, but i miss my parents so much, i need to go home. this is my son, four months old and they've never seen him. >> this man is also going back. they left because her husband needed to see a doctor. he had a serious operation in damascus earlier this year. going back there to see his surgeons was too dangerous, so he he turned oh iraq, instead. this trickle of human traffic could soon be a flood. an exodus is happening from the main syrian base for the fighters from the group, islamic state of iraq and the levant. >> there's ban steady flow of supplies here since the opening of the border in 2013. since the bombing campaign was

announced to extend into jair, an enormous amount of people are trying to leave the islamic strong hold and the obviously place to cross to safe haven is here. >> the kurdish rebel group controls the northeastern corner of syria, but islamic state fighters are fighting hard to clear a direct supply line all the way to mosul, their strong hold in iraq. >> there was a huge battle in our village. we ran, leaving it deserted. the islamic state forces are really very strong and they have big weapons, but the y.p.g. are managing to defend their areas so far. >> he is against the planned airstrikes, because more ordinary people will suffer. >> it will kill normal people. the rich people will get out, but the poor people will be underneath. >> they know an air assault is

coming and they know what to expect. syrians have lived under a government aerial campaign for the past three years. it might be the international communities answer to the is state threat but to them is more civilian casualties and lives torn apart. >> australian police have carried out what they are calling the largest counter terror raised in the country's history. 15 people were arrested and more than a dozen homes were searched. a hundred officers took part in the operation. tony abbot said armed groups have been urged to carry out attacks in cities. >> the decision was made a week ago to raise the terror threat level. it was something that was many, many weeks, even months in the making. obviously, the events this morning were based on specific

intelligence that people weren't just preparing an attack, but had the in attention mount one. this isn't about people's religion. it's not about what people wear. it's about potential terror attacks here in australia, and that's what we're going to guard against. >> much more to come on the news hour. a visit to india marked by protests over tibet and trade talks overshadowed bay border dispute. >> is the ecofriendly jute industry ending? >> arrested on domestic violence charges in the nfl, we'll have all the details in sport. >> some news just in now, the world health organization saying

aljazeera, fiji. >> people are voting in scotland in an independence referendum. people are asked to decide whether the country should split from the united kingdom or stay in it. we are joined live from edinborough. how is turnout looking? >> turnout is reaching unprecedented levels. i think it's fair to say if scotland was experiencing a political slumber before, today it is very much awake. one gentleman told us that his western scotland polling station was experiencing double the number of voters come to cast their votes as they would expect in a major general election, and that pattern is replicating itself across the nation. >> scott land's misty capitol, edinborough, ghostly and almost hidden from view as the nation

decides, a gray day with a very clear purpose and passionate mood. head to go vote, millions of scots are turning out to decide the future of their nation. they came with neighbors, family, and with determination to mark their ballots. we now know 90% of voters have returned their ballots. that gives the first clue as to the level of turnout we can expect. the largest polling station, they're already calling the turnout here astronomical. >> this currently of voters is happening across the country. >> it's really important as a signal to the world that we can make really important decisions about the way the u.k.'s governed and whether scotland will settle as a separate nation peacefully. today, i heard it's the biggest turnout any poll in the u.k. for

almost 100 years. >> this is probably the first time that i felt that my vote could make a major difference, not just a minor, sort of, you know, a little bit of political shifting here, but actually substantial change. >> the stress has been building up. you know, it's just everything to heightened everywhere. emotions are high. it's an important decision. we'll see what happens. >> the first minister of scotland cast his vote in his hometown in northeastern scotland. the leader of the no campaign voted in edinborough. the ice of the world are fixed as the scots make up their mind about the direction of their country. >> we'll see the local results trickle in throughout the wee, small hours, but we won't know the official results until the chief counting officer takes to

criminalize torture and bring those suspected of participating in acts of torture within the nigerian police force and military should be brought to justice. >> you're saying that the practice of torture picked up with the sort of fight, the war against boko haram and was practiced against boko haram suspects, but now branched out. it covers women, children, men, virtually anybody that the police decide to get their hands on. >> that's exactly the case. that's the findings of this research. it shows that victims of torture not only are restricted for limited to one particular sex or gender or age group. it shows that children, women, old people, disadvantaged people can be victims of torture in various parts of nigeria, and we have interviewed -- >> do you think that --

>> people -- >> do you think there's a lesson for other societies considering bending the rules on so-called anti terror legislation, introducing the enhabsed interrogation techniques, is there a lesson for other countries? >> that's definitely lessons for all the countries across the world to learn from. we think that as an organization, this act of torture must be contributed and criminalized across the world. that's why amnesty international launched a global campaign against torture to enis that your people who participate in torture do not go without remedial system. we think victims of torture have a right to get remedies from the government and for rights to be protected and respected. that's why amnesty national
