>> this is al jazeera. >> hello there i'm felicity bar and you're watching the newshour live from london. coming up, a day of battles in yemen between houthi rebels and the government. the presidential palace is surrounded. as the funeral is held for senior hezbollah members killed in air strikes in syria confirming if the elite guard member also died. tens of thousands protest in

chechnya against the french satirical publication "charlie hebdo." plus a movement against the pegida movement. we begin in yemen according to a government spokesman the presidential palace is surrounded. after hours of fighting in the capital between houthi fighters and government forces. earlier the houthis seized a arm base killing 9 people. fired on a convie convoy carrying the prime minister.

the shia rebels took over the capital in september making them yemen's de facto top power and raising tensions across the political spectrum. reporting now from a aden. >> battling near the presidential palace near sanaa since early on monday. the symbol of who wields power in yemen something hard to know at the moment. the information minister describes the seem as an utter chaos. >> to be honest, i don't think any particularly party is in control of sanaa. places where the government is in control where the heutle hughts houthis are in control. defense and interior were there in this committee but there are people who wear the uniform they do not obey the orders of the superiors.

>> reporter: houthi rebels have been at odds with the government for years but they took control of the government and nine other provinces last year. many see them as the real rurals ever yemen against the loyalists to the president. since his removal in office in order to allow his son ahmed to become the next president. but monday's fighting has made the situation worse. >> nothing like this has been seen before. months ago was nothing close to this. the attacks months ago on sanaa by the houthis are only focused on certain areas of the capital. there were no attacks on the president or the prime minister. >> houthis are reported to have taken control of the state television and are gathering more forces outside the capital. and the prime minister's convoy was attacked but by what is being described as a third

appeared whose identity hasn't been confirmed. the declaration of a ceasefire earlier in the day has been largely ignored. some forces are still loyal to president hadi. hadi's decision to deploy troops in the capital was triggered by the chief of staff on saturday. some say what happened on monday could lead to a new yemen. it could also lead to the resignation of president hadi. that could be the right moment for the separateist movement. omar al s saleh, al jazeera.

>> his time is not up. i think that the alternative is very bleak. i think that president hadi has demonstrated that in fact the only solution for yemen is reconciliation between the houthis and the majority of the government, and he has gone out of his way to actually welcome the houthis into the government to make sure that they are partners in the future of yemen. now, of course there are individuals who are unhappy with him, which is normal and natural but i think alternative is very bleak and perhaps not even existent for the time being. >> if he actually welcomed them into the government that was part of the u.n. brokered ceasefire that was agreed back in september that there had to be a new unity government formed, if he has done that why the houthis still out on the streets with their guns? what has gone wrong with this? just the houthis actually won't

accept they want to be part of a unity government? >> that's dilemma that the houthis present. the houthis don't know exactly what they want at the end of the day. whether they want to take over the entire government or they see themselves as part of the coalition government which is what the majority of the yemenis want. also split we are not talking about a single houthi organization that speaks for the entire community. so therefore i think that the houthis face a dilemma and they don't know how to address the overtures that president hadi has made repeatedly welcoming them into the government and saying to them that our fatal must be together and not against each other. and i think that this is something which we often forget yemenis have an immense april tide for debate, unending depate. i get the impression they are much more interested in the process than they are interested in the end result.

>> it is a terribly complex situation in yemen at the moment and it is said that the houthis are backed by the former president. do you think former president salah is aligning himself with the houthis? >> that is possible. but the days of his rule are in the past not in the future. even though woe like to make a come back and use the houthis to make himself relevant once again, he is no longer relevant for the future of yemen and the page has been turnd. turned. hadi is the only solution for the time. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> iran has confirmed that a member of its elite revolutionary guard was killed in syria on sunday.

the attack happened close to the golan heights and killed six members of hezbollah. some of its supporters had been attending funerals of some who died. nicole johnston reports. >> reporter: a few thousand people turned out for the funeral of jihad mugnia, killed in an israeli air strike on sunday. he is also the son of a hezbollah senior leader, killed in syria in 2008. six of the men killed were from the lebanese armed shia group hezbollah. one belonged to iran's revolutionary guard. a man being ground for a much more senior position so there seems to have been a well planned and coordinated attack. israel has targeted certain

areas before, but this is the first such direct hit on groups in syria. the question now is how will hezbollah respond? >> wait and see. our message will continue. our line will continue. we'll never stop. >> hezbollah supporters say there will be retaliation when the group is ready for it. >> actually we are angry but for the first 30 years hezbollah has taught us has always taught us that any retaliation has to be logical. this is one of our points of transit against the israeli enemy. >> thousands of men in hezbollah are fighting on the same side as president bashar al-assad. this has divided lebanon. are there are those who support the group and the syrian president and those who back the rebels and say hezbollah should keep out of the war next door. some analysts say eight years ago, large crowds would have

rallied around hezbollah after an attack like this but not anymore. >> today hezbollah is no more an arab hero. he's on the opposite. he's seen as backing a dictator who's killing an arab population. >> last week, hezbollah leader hasam nasralla says they can attack israel anywhere, any time. few think this will lead to an attack or war on israel right now. but it certainly increases the tension. nicole johnston, al jazeera beirut. >> and the station affiliated with hezbollah releaseed footage. six operatives were on an

inspection in konetra when the strike occurred. libya to geneva, key members of the rival parliament stayed away from the ways last week. but there seems to be a slight break of the situation after libya declared a ceasefire. the turkish president recep tayyip erdogan has chaired his first cabinet meeting something that hasn't been done by a turkish president by more than a decade. it is an attempt by erdogan to further expand his powers. from istanbul, bernard smith reports. >> reporter: exercising his constitutional right to convene a cabinet meeting, recep tayyip erdogan is remolding his role

from ceremonial to executive. normally the prime minister sits at the top of the table but now ahmed dovotolu had to move over. on monday, erdogan was in charge. >> these two politicians have worked long enough to know the real power of their position in the party. so devotolu always emphasizes the leadership of erdogan. >> reporter: opposition parties say the president is trying to grab power. >> the constitution has left it so weak that the president could act arbitrarily if he could get away it. with it. it looks like he can. the circumstances are such that he can play such a partisan role in violation of the constitution. >> reporter: constitutionally turkey's president is supposed to be a neutral figure above party politics. erdogan says that as the first

president elected by the people he has a mandate to exercise more power. now, he wants to change the constitution to create an executive presidency. but to do that, erdogan's ruling ak party has the challenging task of winning enough seats in summer elections to push through a new constitution. bernard smith al jazeera istanbul. in egypt 75 alleged members of the muslim brotherhood have been given lengthy terms. three years to life in the city of mansour. various charges from insighting violence. coptic christians have protested in cairo. the egyptian foreign ministry says the men were abducted in

two groups at different times. the men traveled to the area to get work in the oil industry. al jazeera continues the demand the release of its journalists imprisoned in egypt for 375 days. be peter greste, baher mohamed and mohamed fahmy. an appeal judge has ordered a retrial that could begin in a month. their lawyer has asked for them to be deported from egypt. cooking up the world's worst terror attack, a prosecutor is found dead. in mali could the tide be turning against the virus ebola in west africa. off to a shaky start as they

open their campaign. ukraine's army has launched a major operation to retake donetsk airport. the airport has been the scene of heaft heavy fighting ever since proitionpro-russian fighters, launched a campaign against the government. >> the sounds of artillery fire, has certainly become less frequent in the past few hours here in donetsk but it's still there audible in the distance. airport about five miles away from where i'm standing. it is a degree of almost surreal normality. the christmas tree lights are on behind me, trams still running. who controls the airport? the ukrainian government claims to have pushed the separatist

fighters back to minsk. zakashenko. out of the airport altogether. it's too dangerous to get close. getting close to the airport is very difficult indeed. it's been impossible to verify who controls the airport. one conclusion you can draw the fact that there's fire going on is probable that fire is continuing neither side, has full control of that facility. >> hundreds of thousands of people in chech nah have chechnya have been protesting. the president is considered a loyalist of vladimir putin. peter sharp has the latest from

moscow. >> this was without doubt one of the biggest demonstrations in the chechen capital of grosne . hundreds of men and women heeding the call of their president to protest against the publishing of caricatures of muhammed. calling millions of people to get out in the street in peaceful protest. his appeal was answered. he enjoys widespread support not just in chechnya but also in neighboring republics where tens of thousands are flooding the capital. there was no congregation here. nowhere are aggression no no aggression here. roar of approval he says we are ready to die for this. he says politicians are

insulting the guise of free speech and western governments are only interested in provocation. the russian government only too well aware the depth of feeling against "charlie hebdo" publication was quit to distance itself from the je suis charlie movement. and reiterated its call for a media ban. turnout on grosne on monday just how widespread is the support for that move. peter sharp, al jazeera moscow. ped ga rallypegida, angela merkel says it is her duty to protect the

right to demonstrate regardless of the issue. >> translator: such a precious principle has to be protected. this is why everything is done i believe to protect and secure the freedom of assembly in anyplace in germany and if the government can be of assistance to secure such demonstrations then we will help if asked which we haven't been so far. it is in my utmost interest as german chancellor regardless of whether i like the content that anyplace in germany people can take to the streets in demonstrations because it is a fundamental right. >> and the pegida movement has been spread outside germany. in denmark on a smaller scale. their demonstration doesn't contradict this. al jazeera's lawrence lee is in the danish capital copenhagen. >> they came with torches but insisted this was not a witch

hunt. nobody looked like they were from the radical right wing but insisted they had enough, the stran of islam they said had a ten dance to outright violence. >> this is against an ideology that drives people who are vulnerable to that ideology, even born into it and forced to live by it to do some bad things. we don't hate anybody. >> of their march there pegida signs designed to separate them, but the interest was evident. there is no doubt the pegida movement is spreading to different parts of europe. these people would say they speak for a much bigger wens swebs that there areconstituency. that they are unable to

assimilate. >> it's like child's play like children discussing and making everything very simple more than it is. a very simplistic way of looking into it. and i think that's very wrong to do that because we are talking about 1.5 billion people in the world who believe in islam. we are not terrorists. >> and this veteran newspaper editor also believes pegida undermines danish traditions of talking problems through. >> rather have that and have it out in the open than you know having groups of people in more angry and aggressive way trying to make every muslim here something like the people in paris. >> the pegida march ended at the

famous mermaid statue. the song also talks of being surrounded by the enemy. along with the bravado there's plenty of fear. lawrence lee copenhagen. >> this is the latest protest called by the group now founded in dresden last year pegida has focused on the threat of the rising number of asylum seekers wanting to settle in germany. but it insists it is not a racist organization. says it's focused on defending judeo-christian values. protecting citizens that normally would not associate with the far right. as you can see joining us now from berlin thanks for being with us on the program

professor. perhaps you could tell us who are the sort of people who are turning out to support pegida in these rallies. >> hello. the people who go there are mostly from a region in germany in the south of former east germany. if you look at the highest number of participants it is in the city of dresden the capital of the state of saxony. you now have more than 20, 25,000 people showing up. no other city in germany has a similar event. the city outside of duress dren wasdren -- dresden was leipzig. spot as a religion phenomenon focused on that city of saxony. especially in the city of dresden. demographics, it is a mix of

younger people. there you could see quite a few who might fit the description of a far right protestor that you see elsewhere in germany and older people also couples more women than normally on far right events are with retired people or middle class people. who join the group. it is a mixed bag, there is a tendency that far right activists are mingling with the more normal folks worried about islam as a religion as worried about asylum seekers and immigration? >> that's hard to say because many of these people do not want to talk to journalists or social scientists. they have been two studies now of the dresden crowd by social

scientists and they find many people are reluctantly to say anything to people who ask them about where they come from and what they want. clearly, there's not everyone who is in there is worried about islam. islam seems to be more a metaphor for a larger sense of anxiety. it is something alien, in the state of saxony, there are more buddhists than muslims more direct relationship all they know is what they know from the media. and this gets stirred together with a larger sense of insecurity anxiety dissatisfaction with the government, the government in berlin. you ask people who say something they really don't like the president and the chancellor how they conduct politics and try

osolve problems. so there is -- to solve problems. so there is a large amount of frustration vis-a-vis the political class in berlin and also in the saxon capital. yes. >> you are saying it obviously is centered around dresden but how much influence do you think the group has across germany as oquhoal? oquhoal -- a whole? the low turnout doesn't suggest it has that much support. >> as i said any other city especially in west germany the turnout is a few hundred people showing up. whereas only in sax saxony you have people into the thousands showing up. so it doesn't really build up a national mowm mowmentd momentum as the organizers expected. >> thank you very much professor. still to come on the program, how raw sewage dumped

in the desert becomes a welcoming oasis for flamingos. >> rafa nahda races through first round of the australian open. open.

>> hello again i'm felicity bar. a reminder of the top stories on newshour. a crucial ceasefire seems to be holding in sanaa yemen. houthi rebels surrounded the presidential palace in sanaa according to a spokesman. footage what is said to be an aftermath of an israeli air strike in southern syria. recep tayyip erdogan has chaired his first ever cabinet meeting as turkey's president. another attempt by erdogan to expand his powers.

an argentine official prosecutor has been found dead in his buenos aires apartments. in the past hour officials in argentina says an autopsy shows no evidence others were involved in nissan's death. from buenos aires andrew sim simmons reports. >> 24 hours before he was to testify before a consciousal hearing, his body was found. he was expected to testimony of the president's involvement in the attack denied by iran. 54-year-old nisman alleged he

wasn't a man considering suicide. >> it was unbelievable for me. i couldn't believe that this was real. i don't have any doubt that it's not suicide. >> and so what was this a scene of a crime or was it suicide? whatever happened there's now another political crisis in argentina. andrew simmons, al jazeera buenos aires. three paraguayan officers were accused of stealing the cache of drugs they were charged with protecting. police chiefs are also under investigation. three people are dead after police opened fire or protestors in democratic republic of congo. police officers and protesters were killed. opposition party members were

demonstrating in the capital cin shahcinshaskinshasa . cameroon's army says it's freed more than half of the estimated 60 hostages taken by boko haram after a gun battle with members of the armed group. the kidnappings happened after boko haram gunmen crossed the border on sunday and attacked the village of ma brvegas. many of the hostages are children. northeastern nigerian town of potascam, nobody has claimed responsibility. boko haram are very active in that area and it bears all the hallmarks of one of their attacks. the armed group wants to create an islamic state in and around northern nigeria. mali has now been declared officially free of the ebola virus.

slow down in the countries worst affected by the outbreak. erica wood reports. >> a year after the ebola outbreak took hold in west africa there are still people dying every day and still doctors risking their lives to help them. an indication out of mali that perhaps all their hard work is starting to pay off. >> translator: after 42 days of monitoring with no confirmed ebola virus cases and in accordance with the international sanitary directive i declare today january is 18th, 2015 to be the end of the ebola epidemic in mali. from now on travelers and goods will no longer be subject to special treatment abroad.. >> last week all three of the worst hit uncountries guinea liberia and seenl documented sierra leone

documented their lowest number of confirmed cases. >> we're here to show the guinea guinean doctors how to protect themselves against the ebola virus. we are helping the doctors to drive the ebola virus out of the country. >> how to keep driving ebola out of the all infected countries will be the subject of an executive session of the u.n. security council on sunday. erica wood zambia. al jazeera. >> died in office last october as hari matassa reports, there are standouts candidates. >> josephine is frustrated. zambia has had six presidents since 1964. on tuesday she is voting again

former president was sick and died last year. >> money is wasted on state funerals and elections that weren't planned. i wish this election wasn't happening. >> but the presidential bi-election is going ahead. the opposition leader promises change. being investor friendly will create jobs. people using ma chet machetes. >> they are moving around with dangerous weapons attacking people. >> the ruling patriotic front is promising continuity, carrying on where they left off improving facilities and roads its presidential candidate edgar lungo denies representations made by his rival. >> my message to him and those

who represent him i don't like to preside over a destroyed nation on account of people's ambition but a drop of blood for a life should be lost. >> both men say they wants to improve the lives of poor zambians. disagree on the mining policy, the ruling party has told the mining company expect to pay more tax. they feel the companies make way too much money and that money should go to the poor. but raising taxes is not practical. it could mean that many mines will close and many people will lose their jobs. next year his first term would have ended. zambians have to determine if they want the something different or more of the same

thing. following the attacks in paris, belgian capital the eu chief says it's good to cooperate with muslim country. nadim baba has more from brussels. >> as if to remind people of the heightened concerned members of the belgian military were out ahead of the talks on monday. fredricks molini, had a meeting with the secretary of the arab league on monday. she's been stressing the need for better information-sharing and communication with the arab world reminding people the first victims of islamist terrorism are in fact muslims themselves. some people are expecting some kind of signal to perhaps restricting or taking away

documents from suspects who would travel to the middle east to take part in violence activities. that wasn't agreed upon. at the end of the talks fredriqu fredriqua said, needed to improve its arabic language skills. but the long term solution lends not just in trying otackle internet recruitment of so-called extremists but also ending the conflicts in the middle east. >> and france's interior minister says it's ready to take its fight to the internet. around 16,000 websites based in france have come under attack in the past ten days since the "charlie hebdo" murders. new cyber protection measures will be announced in the next five days as nick spicer

reports. >> another kind of attack, a much wider cyber assault on targets in france. changed the home pages of thousands of web pages of universities, town councils and local shops among others. are france's interior minister toured a factory outside paris he said he would present measures to fight the hackers later this week. >> translator: more than 1300 attacks have been claimed by hacker groups or groups that say they are islamists who are taking the opportunity to demonstrate their capacity for harm. >> late last week the french government passed an antiterror law, groups that want to join groups the french government considers terrorist, it's hard

to see what kind of new measures could prevent determined hackers operating from overseas. as the french struggle to return to a feeling of being safe, the hackers attempt to say no you're not. the attacks were not sophisticated but they were massive. experts call the replaced home pages defacements. >> the defacement is like if you are in a town with many different shops and the hackers what they try to do, they try to enter every shop and if the door is not really well-closed they enter the shop they pain some messages on the window and they leave. and after you have to enter the shop and to clean the mess. >> it's a mess that individual website owners will have to clean up. often by simply updating their website software. but wiping the feeling of unease away won'ting as easy. nick spicer, al jazeera paris.

>> trial of a british doctor undergoing female genital mutilation of the mother. noncommunicable diseases, smoking is a major factor. it is estimated that there are 300 million smokers in china. but from june in beijing will smoking smoking in public places and that ban could eventually be being extended across the nation. >> before they know it he has plucked the cigarette out of the hand leaving smokers bewildered. he's been doing this for 17

years, spurred on by the death of his sister from cancer. but he's realistic about his efforts. >> just because i take away their cigarette doesn't mean they will stop smoking but hopefully they will remember this moment the next time they light up. >> china accounts for nearly a third of the world's smokers. according to the world health organization tobacco kills around 1 million smokers each year in the country and another 100,000 die from exposure to secondhand smoke. after attempt to ban public smoking a few yearsal years ago they are trying again. smoking will be banned in indoor public place including restaurants. a nationwide smoking ban outdoor smoking make all indur indoor areas smoke free.

this proposition limited smoking indoors several years ago. staff says their customers sneak a cigarette indoors but the new law will have more bite including fines for business owners who don't comply. the real test however will be whether this ban can be enforced not only in the capital but in the rest of the country with more than 300 million smokers and counting. florence louie, al jazeera beijing. to be able to turn raw sewage into fresh drinking water, may not sound appealing. but the nation of qatar is a way to stay hydrated. cubs like qatar face big water shortages. now a summit is underway in the uae to address these challenges. al jazeera's nick clark looks at

qatar's water woes. >> you wouldn't think water was in short supply given the amount that's used to make things grow when nothing should. here is the primary source, the aarabian gulf. this is about as close as you can get to a desal inflation desalination plant. without them there would be no drinking water the taps would just run dry and life in the gulf just could not exist in the way that it does. in this parched arid land you don't expect this, a business selling four million cut flowers a year. grown not abroad but in chilled glass houses in qatar. a bore-hole supplies water. the problem is the ancient aquifer it comes from is nearly depleted thanks ooverextraction

across the country. >> expected at a high rate for the upcoming years especially with the major events this we would host here in the upcoming years. so this can be a big problem if we don't use the available water in a reasonable way. >> now they're piloting a soil free hydroponic project that recycles water with impressive results. the idea is to encourage the area farmers to don't similar measures. raw sewage, coming from a workers camp outside doha. utilizing a particularly developed tape. >> millions and millions of microperforations, essentially this is giving what happens in nature a perfect environment to do in our concrete tanks or our containers. >> the process ends with clear

water that runs into an adjacent farm giving life to new growth. on the larger scale more and more sewage treatment plants are being built in qatar. recycle water that can be used for irrigation. but there's a long way to go. these trucks are dumping raw sewage into holding lakes in the desert where it lies untreated a potential water supply evaporating into the hot desert air. the remarkable thing is nature takes its course and the waste water becomes clean enough for a flock of flameos to take up residence. nick clark, al jazeera qatar. >> still ahead on the program find out who finished first. in sports. sports.

to be said and south africa who came into the tournament really looking to be resurge ent after so many disappointments they've had major tournaments in recent years. this turning point in football games, turning point we saw today was very defined. rk had that chance to put south africa up, he missed it and that seemed to finally fire algeria into life and they began to resemble the team we saw and ran so impressive and ran germany so close, in that memorable last 16 game. south africa perhaps won't be too disappointed and they showed enough to suggest they could still recover and come out of this with their recent record now is not good. that is now just one win in their last 13 cup of nations games. >> let's talk about the other match. a very disappointing night for the four-time champion ghana.

>> indeed, yes. beaten 2-1 by senegal. ghana came into this tournament with a lot to prove. they were pretty all of, and before this game there last been a real disconnect between the players and their supporters, there was a fairly substantial pay disputes, with the supporters flying out $4 million in cash for the ghanans. there was a video of them kirk cash. returning to the sort of form that ghana and football is so capable of. they began the game well, giving them the lead, losing 2-1 to senegal, but senegal looked

good. during qualifying they will be really helpful going forward to the quarter finals. >> andy, overrule, did everything go smoothly in mongomo and also what can we look forward to? >> well, mongomo is a tiny place a really unlikely place for international football take place. population around 8,000. the capacity here was 10,000, full. the president theodore obiang had distributed this was his home town and he was determined to put on a good show. the pitch never hosted games like this before, they flew in turf from spain just a couple of weeks ago relay the whole service and they could cut up, back to back games it held up pretty well, everyone relieved there was no downpour of rain as it had been predicted.
