9:04 am
yesterday he were describing the sense of fear on the streets, that this could become some kind of civil war. the situation got worse in his opinion in the capitol of sanaa, what is your assessment? >> david, clashes have been the fiercest over the last couple of days, and the government has succeeded in causing huge casualties among the hout this hi lines. there are signs and hope that agreements can be reached in the next few hours, but again this is yemen and rumors come and go. there is optimism that there is a chance of a cease-fire being reached tonight. >> in terms of the organization, this has been going on for
9:05 am
several months now. they are not just a bunch of tribal fighters who have come together with a few odds and end of weaponry. they appear to be well equipped and well organized. >> they're very well organized. they are all loyal to the primary liter of the houthi movement. that keeps them very organized. it's not a two-head movement. it's a one-head movement that has complete control over its followers. the weapons that the houthi ha have, have been taken from the yemeni six-year war. when the houthi defeated the military, they took over the largest military storage in the country. so yes, they're well armed. and in my opinion, they are as
9:06 am
well armed as the government, if you put aside the air force. >> would the houthi be able to say, we got some of what we want. if so, what would that mean to the possible fragmentation of yemen. >> let's make it clear, if the houthi have a role in the government policy, which i suspect they will, they will have a very strong influence in the foreign policy. that's where more tension will come. they'll want more control in the foreign policy. they'll want more influence in the national security. and when this happens, this is when the second round of clash also take place because i'm not sure that the government is willing to give the houthies too much control very quick. that's what they'll be demanding
9:07 am
in the next couple of months. >> just one final point, hakeem, if you feel that the houthi will want more influence in the foreign policy, will the americans will be able to continue their drone attacks, which have been unsettling to the say the very least. >> that is at the top of the agenda. they will not allow u.s. drones to roam the skies of yemen, or there will be enough against them that will lead to the reduction of u.s. drone strikes. yes, that is on the list. to be at the top of the list, and to have less u.s. presence or influence in the country's foreign policy and national security. >> thank you, editor in chief of the yemen post. thank you very much, indeed.

9:09 am
children, and special force police. it was not immediately clear what turkey had done to secure their release. turkish media reported that no ransom was paid, and that there was no armed confrontation with the rebels. the government says that it was a pre-planned mission led by its intelligence agency. >> yesterday at 11:30 at night the rescue operation that had been going on for days had finally reached its final stage. we had worked so hard for months to reach the outcome of today. i want to thank the members of the turkish intelligence service who worked so hard with all kinds of sacrifices. >> drivers were also captured in june, but they were freed a month later. when the second group of hostages were not set free as well questions were raised as to what they were doing to secure their release. >> it was a big political
9:10 am
failure on the turkish government, and it was a political victory for the turkish government. >> turkey said it would not sign up for the military coalition in fighting isles. the reason was widely believed the government feared the consequences. but some analysts think that won't change even though the hostages are safe. >> they'll be a reluctant member of this coalition that has been cobbled by the united states. turkey has clearly indicated that it's territory and air space will not be used in any combat operations. >> with the war in syria raging along turkey's southeastern border, they may have to take on a more active role in the fight against isil. al jazeera. >> well, 45,000 syrian scrod's crossed into turkey in just one day to escape isil.

turkey is already nearly home to 850,000 syrian refugees. no. iraq thousands of supporters have taken to the streets in baghdad. we'll get more from the iraqi capitol. what in particular are they demonstrating about? >> reporter: well, david, was a show of strength. what they wanted to do was to say that baghdad is under their control. they're able and willing to defend baghdad if the need is there. this is what they call defensive peace platoons. they're not there on an offensive capacity. they're not there to fight anybody but there to defend. it was really a rally of support. iwe have heard in the past that he said he's opposed to any u.s.
9:12 am
presence in iraq. saying that he'll resist them and fight with the americans on the ground. this time around he issued a statement saying the territory sovereignty, and is against the u.s. in iraq. it plays well for his domestic audience, and comes of back when general dempsey was speaking to the u.s. about no boots on the ground. but today it was about showing strength in numbers in baghdad. >> thank you. >> there have been two explosions in a munitions in the ukraine city of donetsk. a shell hit a store of explosives, causing another blast. it happens as there was another

step towards a peaceful solution. two sides have signed a deal to finalize an initial cease-fire agreed to two weeks ago. it's the latest attempt to end the conflict that so far has killed 3,000 people in five months. government in kiev and the separatists have agreed to establish a 30-kilometer buffer zone along the front line. the plan also calls for foreign-armed groups and weapons to leave the ukrainian territory. and the two sides have agreed to deploy or now the deployment of an international team to monitor the cease-fire. >> reporter: the peace talks were supposed to inject confidence into the cease-fire since september 95, although there have been repeated violations with casualties on both sides, and reports of more fighting overnight and into
9:14 am
today. what's been discussing and what has apparently been agreed is the creation of a buffer zone where the ukrainian forces and the pro russian rebels would withdraw their heavy artillery pieces back from the conflict zone 15 kilometers. so you would have a 30-kill mere buffer zone free of heavy weaponry. we're told this would take affect in the next 24 hours. >> floods cause 200,000 people to leave their homes in the philippines. preparing for the climate march in new york, a message for word leaders getting ready for the united nations general assembly. and getting over the champions league hang over.

9:16 am
attention to the political dance and fancy foot work of the politicians and whether they'll deliver on the promises made in the run up to the referendum vote. there are a mix of feelings here. part of relief and on the part of those who voted yes, there is the feeling that scotland is in limbo. i spoke with some members of the yes campaign about how they feel about moving thing forward. >> i just feel we need to work together as a country, one voice. give westminster a chance to deliver on the promises. i think as a nation of alienated people we are strong, strong sense of identity. >> i would still like to see independence. i don't think it's over yet. saying that we won't have another referendum in our lifetime, but i think within two years we will have another
9:17 am
independence referendum, and we will win it. you know, one day. >> to be honest i think westminster, we need it and want it. >> demonstrations of fancy foot work, i'm wondering why the sense of frustrate when it is only slightly more than 24 hours. why are these people worried that westminster won't deliver on what it's promised. it's not just the prime minister. it's the other party leaders, too. >> i think the reason that there is that feeling of frustration is that here in scotland the campaign engaged a lot of people who hadn't really been touched by politics before. and i think that level of. gainment builds up all of this positive energy that perhaps change was possible. they don't trust the politicians to deliver. they said they would have a
9:18 am
timetable to deliver that timetable. that has not happened. that's the first we heard him talking again in th another scottish city this morning. and he said this will be a debate in october. we did speak to someone who said we have to reflect and give the politicians a chance. anything that is about constitutional change and fair representation across the board of u.k. will take time. the original act that was written some timinago time ago took 11 months. >> enjoy the tea and possibly the dancing. julie macdonald in edinburgh. now bangladesh, it can take hours for police to respond to

9:37 am
government, also an u.n. ally, to fight isil. james bays, al jazeera at the united nations. >> we have with u us an iranian analyst and former iran diplomat. is getting rid of isil the only thing that iran and the united states have in common in that theater at the moment? >> i think that has to be the center point of attention for both countries at the moment. they both have a vested interest in seeing the central government strengthened and the power of isis curtailed the independence of the a utah a autonomous region, and they have the interest of curtailing isis interests in syria where iran
9:38 am
has the same interest, but with different objectives in mind. >> you and i and a lot of other people will know the phrase my enemy's enemy is my enemy. how can these two, the united states and iran, come together and fight a common cause? >> well, you know, i think this situation has offered a great opportunity for both iran and the united states to try and improve their relations, but this is an opportunity that has to be tackled in the right way. if not then it can hinder the situation. but they both have a common interest in iraq to try to curtail the power of isis. although, boast parties are suspicious of what each party's ultimate objective in iraq is.
9:39 am
they both look at that with a great deal of suspicion. of course, iran was convinced that isis cannot be defeated only through airstrikes, and that where it sees a role for itself in advisory capacity to the iraqi government and to the supplies and the arms that it has been providing to the kurds. as well, they feel they have a role to play, but they remember helping and then being returned to the axis of evil in mind. this threat can really challenge
9:40 am
the current borders in the middle east and pose an ultimate threat to both interests. >> if the united states takes its fighting into syria because of isil's presence there, is there a possibility that it could find itself confronting iranian troops in that country who might have a different end game in mind? >> well, i think that obviously both parties are anxious to avoid such scenarios. but if the united states target is isis elements, then they are sort of in parallel pursuing the same objective as the assad government, which the iranian government supports. there should be no real problem over that. but as i said, you know, the fact is that the ultimate objective in syria is to support different parties that is the
9:41 am
u.s. and iran whereas in iraq the objective is to support the same central government. that is where they sort of die verge. of course, the way in which diplomats have handled this delicate period is very important in how the u.s.-iran relations pro seed, to get better, warmer, and to have a tremendous implication for ongoing discussions over iran's nuclear five with the five plus one. >> thank you very much. of course you knew that i meant my enemy's enemy is my friend. thank you for not correcting me at the time. >> thank you. >> killing one of ten lebanese

9:44 am
happen. >> we see the internallalism. so all this are schemes of the people to make sure that they're able to advance the agenda. again, our desire is that we minimize this incident. >> the police force is now working closely with private security companies that guard most places in the country. >> it has become part of life in season i can't here. they're looking for suspicious high school people or explosive devices. the problem is these guards, many are not trained. >> they talk about terrorism,
