10:01 am
government responds to the disappearance of college students. >> we begin this news hour in yemen where a new government has been sworn in but the political crisis is far from over. two major factions, the houthis and support is of the old regime rejected the government. the prime minister said his government has the support of the yemenis. >> yemen's prime minister looks confident. he's walking to address the nation with a message of hope. he faces a string of problems, including sectarian tension, violence, instability and the rise of al-qaeda. >> we'll deal with it.
10:02 am
i know it's not an easy thing we can start in yemen, but with the support of the yemenis people, the brotherhood and all over the world, i think we'll tackle all those problems. >> this is the swearing in ceremony for the newly formed government. ministers loyal to the former president showed up and backed the current president. such moves had been warned against. this is the general, the new defense minister, he faces the delicate task of reformalling an army and getting the support from him tear commanders still loyal to the former president. his colleague is the intelligence chief and interior minister. his task is to deploy security forces in a capitol controlled by shia houthi fighters but the
10:03 am
prime said he's open to talks with the houthis. >> they are yemenis, we'll deal with them as yemenis and try to include them. >> this is a government made up of many professionals. this is the youngest. >> anyone not concerned would be abnormal, but i had a frank session with the prime minister on this and on the portfolio in specific and the priorities for this period and what we can achieve. we do hope that there is a clear vision on what needs to be done. >> the government has the backing of the international community, but political support is not enough in a country where almost half of the population is
10:04 am
for. >> the president and prime minister have little control over the army and police and the capitol remains largely under the control of the hottie fighters, a situation likely to deepen yemen's political divide. >> an independent journalist joins us live. peter, the yemenis prime minister has been speaking in about the swearing in of the new government. how cost is he that he has the backing? >> at the moment, it's difficult to know much confidence he has. the ruling party still holds a majority in what admittedly is an 11-year-old parliament said they would not back the new
10:05 am
government. this afternoon, meetings were held with the parliament. my understanding is they plan to veto the government and to vote against a vote of no confidence in the president. >> let's remind our viewers that the g.p.c. is the former party of the president. they and the houthi's have rejected this new government. peter, how do you think this is likely to play out now? >> sure. well, we have to define between the houthi position and g.p.c. position. the houthi have several ministers they are not happy with but left the door open for talks. the speed with which the government was inaugurated today seems tube rebuke to them where the gpc and hard line supporters seem hell bent on bringing this government down before it's done a single thing. in both cases, the real story,
10:06 am
the background of this is the desire of the g.p.c. and to a slightly lesser degree on the part of the houthis is to get rid of the president seen as a rival and by many seen as illegitimate and ineffective. >> what do ordinary people want from all of this and how are they getting on with their lives particularly in the capitol there, where you are? >> people seem to be disappointed with the political establishment in general. i think the big issue at the moment is whether or not this government can produce some basic results in the next few months. improvements in the economy, stabilization of the economy, the payments of basic well fair payments and the provision of some security, now, what the houthi's have been doing is taking the fight to al-qaeda in
10:07 am
the other parts of the country. what will be interesting to see if the new defense minister will. >> them in that fight or more aggressively take on al-qaeda while at the same time we've got a really difficult period coming up in terms of the economy. my understanding is without serious reform, the government won't be able to pay its bills or pay salaries by the end of the year. >> peter, thank you. >> investigators in afghanistan of trying to figure out how a taliban suicide bomber managed to walk into police headquarters and blow himself up. one police officer was killed and seven others injured in kabul. the explosion followed another attack two hours earlier on the capitol. the taliban says it was responsible. >> police confirm it was a suicide bomber responsible for getting into police headquarters and blowing himself up near the police chief's office. the police chief is unhurt but one of his main deputies was
10:08 am
killed and seven people injured in that attack. police are looking at closed circuit t.v. footage to determine who this man was. he was not in a police uniform. he came in with civilian clothes with documents asking to see the police chief. he got past layers of security. they are trying to determine how he did that. this is a very security compound in the heart of kabul home not only home to the police headquarters but to the government's office and a prison, 30,000 people a day go through that compound, but it is a very, very fortified compound with many levels of security. the taliban have claimed responsibility for this attack. the police will be looking into how they managed to breach the heavy security at their compound in the heart of the capitol and how they managed to get explosives in, as well. >> it's 25 years to the day since germans started tearing down the hated symbol of the
10:09 am
cold war. thousands died trying to cross the border. nick spicer reports on the day of commemoration and celebration. >> german chancellor angela merkel started the day by remembering the people killed trying to escape to west germany. she grew up in east germany and like almost everyone could never have thought the berlin wall would come down through simple people power. the former satisfactory jet leader credited with paving the way for the fall responded to east-west techies in the ukraine. >> the break down of the dialogue is of major concern. the world is on the brink of a new cold war. some say it's all right begun yet we don't see the u.n. security council playing any role or taking concrete action. >> a million, maybe more people are expected to take part in
10:10 am
celebrations here. the berlin wall used to run in front of the gate, dividing a country, city, continent and to a larger extend the world and a super power standoff. the wall didn't come down because of decisions at the top but because of citizens taking to the streets. >> this former dissident is one of them. he now overkeeps the files kept by the police and says the fall of the wall has a message for the world. >> what can you learn? i would say that resistance is worth it, that speaking truth to power is worth it, and that democracy is not a static construct but something that needs to be worked on every day and that's something young people should be remind of especially in a democracy. >> a 15-kilometer line of lights follows the path of the wall and the death strip where soldiers shot to kill. the climax came sunday night as released into the sky of the capitol of the. >>ly reunified germany.
10:11 am
>> nick joins is live from berlin. lots of events going on there today in berlin, the chancellor made an appearance at the wall. what else is happening? what is the atmosphere like? >> one of joy, also reflection. some east germans with their travel documents said i never thought i'd see the gate front side. still not quite believing the momentous events of 25 years ago. there is a warning of a risk of a new cold war. i'm joined by a political scientist. what do you think of what mr. gorbachev is saying?
10:12 am
>> germany came a long way in 25 years of managing internal immigration and managing to have a different role in the european union. we are now asked to take leadership, whiffs something germans didn't want to and it's more like taking responsibility, so there are a lot of positive things inside of the european union and western alliance, but it's also a reminder that we shouldn't take things for granted. >> the tensions between the west and moscow are certainly at a level that has not been seen since the end of the cold war. is that fair? >> that is definitely the right description of the current relationship and it has a lot to do with the success story in the west that we expanded nato, the european union and germany believe that is our way of looking at it, that this is a piece project where countries can freely decide the direction they choose the orientation. if this was achieved in russia
10:13 am
and putin as a threat to come closer to his level or his territory of influence and this could now be seen in a different way. >> you're speaking about germany having to take on new responsibilities and angela merkel, at chancellor has taken the lead in setting the tempo for sanctions for people in the european union. how is that lead role? >> we learned for decades that nobody expects germany to lead and that war is not an option. now we see that our friends and partners in the east expect that germany can bring something to the fable which is not just soft power, but a commitment to the security alliance which is nato. we seem to have forgotten what that means and how much it would cost to bring hard power to the table to be credible, which to a certain extent is the rhetoric of the cold war and the time before the fall of the bear lynn
10:14 am
wall. >> when you hear the messages out of moscow versus brussels, it's as if the two are in parallel of different universes. >> it sounds like that. we have a narrative in the west that space is not so important and we open borders and that the symbol of getting rid of the berlin wall is the perfect example of a new world in which everyone can move freely and it's all about freedom. if you look from the perspective of security first and this western world undermines the functioning of the russian empire, then it's seen as a western form of hybrid warfare that we don't take territory with tanks, but with our cultural achievements and that leads to very hostile narratives on both sides of not an iron curtain, but two different influential zones in the west and in the east. >> a last question, if i may. is it just geography that determines germany's central role in going between the east and west or something more, part
10:15 am
of a sharped history with russia? >> it is certainly a more cultural perception that no one wants to see germany be an aggressor anymore, at least not in germany or that we could send troops to international conflicts would trigger a different discourse in germany. it's certainly a cultural misunderstanding and we have to address this and a day like this is a perfect moment to step back and think about why do we misunderstand each other. >> thank you very much. if there is not quite a new cold war, he says, there is certainly a new season as it were of cultural misunderstanding between east and west. >> all right, nine spicer in berlin, thank you. >> much more to come here on the aljazeera news hour including two americans released from north korea raising the question why now? >> they have survived war, butty

10:17 am

10:20 am
around around will not have that much difficulty raising money whether from individuals or organizationors institutions or tribal backings. as long as we don't address the core reasons as to why institutions like isil or organizations like isil come up, i think we are going to face this dilemma. that's why the conference in bahrain is so important, because it presumably will have the courage to actually dig deeper than what has been done so far. i'm not sure whether this is the ideal venue to accomplish those attacks. >> the u.n. envoy to syria is talking about creating free zones. it is hold one of the zones will be inside aleppo in northern syria. >> reef gees who fled fighting

10:23 am
families based on a field study which concluded that 15% of syrians don't need the vouchers, but there may have been errors. >> there are some people very clear when we run the data is an error, we can reinstate them. some clear from the living conditions, the assets they have that they actually can survive on their own and they will stay excluded. >> there are so many who say they can't survive on their own or return to syria and whose conditions are only getting worse the longer they stay in exile. >> they are trying to find ways to overcome disdisagreements. iran denies accusations by some that it's trying to build
