in motion today's takeover. >> the united states and the united nations condemned the coup. calling for immediate release of yemen's president and parliament who are under house arrest. as jamal al saal reports. >> translator: the revolutionary council will set up 550 members to replace the placement. >> reporter: the houthis had taken over sanaa last september capturing key government buildings including parliament and state tv eventually forcing yemen's first democratically elected president hadi and his parliament to resign on january 21st. since then the united nations were attempting to broker a deal between the various political

parties, the gap was too great and the u.n. special envoy the houthis declared themselves the new rulers of yemen. >> the powers of the government shall be divined by the revolutionary committee. >> that revolutionary committee is in fact made up entirely of houthi leaders. although the audience on friday was almost completely made up of houthi supporters, among those attending was the minister who resigned after the fall of sanaa. sources close to him said he was forced at gunpoint to attend. this will further threaten yemen's neighbors particularly saudi arabia. >> the unilateral declaration issued by the houthis does not meet the standard of a consensus

based standard. there is a process under which you can change the government through the constitution. that obviously was not followed today. >> reporter: yemen it seems is as divided as ever. the second arab country to witness a coup in as many years. it appears there is a new political reality here but the question remains how long this reality will last. the answer to that could very well lie abroad. jamal al shaal, al jazeera aden. >> country sits along a key strategic route for gas transport. but the advance of yemen fractured, the houthis run most of the north including the capital, sanaa. the yemeni army controls a swath of central and western yemen but it's the port city of aden that is crucial. aqap has its stronghold in the

south central yemen. the greatest external terror threat to the west and the u.s. the threat is that it can split the country in two and threaten gas routes. just east of the emirates, to get oil to the rest of the world it must travel out of the arabian gulf and through seufs canalsuezdoonl make canal. >> whowr thewho are the houthis? courtney kealy reports. >> their fight against yemen's central government gain nearly a decade ago. the houthis come from the northern shia minority sect

called the zaidi. their currently ruler is abdel mala al kouthi, the leader of hezbollah. despite the zaidis religious practices being similar to that of sunnies they see them as a foe not an ally. >> the process you can change the government through constitution that obviously was not followed today. >> the u.s. state department swiftly condemned the coup and said abdel mansour al hadi still remains in power. >> we are working with yemen and security forces as we have for a have longvery long sometime against counterterrorism. >> tacit support of yemen's past leaders now that alliance may crumble. yemen is osama bashar bashar bashar

bin laden's ancestral home. have thrown their support behind the houthis. while they remain staunchly anti-american they see al qaeda in the arabian peninsula as an even bigger enemy especially in its power bases in eastern and southern parts of yemen. the impoverished country remains split along tribal lines. saudi arabia which last aided u.s. has cut off assistance due to the houthis rise to power. now 16 million yemenis in need of assistance, the issue will likely plunge the country into political chaos. courtney kealy. al jazeera. >> you spend lots of time in

yemen over the years you investigated the bombing of the u.s.s. cole there. let's start with what this means for united states. we are going from a government that is pro-american to a government that is quite vocally vocally anti-american and aligned with iran. >> if any part of training mission is ongoing with the still-in-place counterterrorist forces but nonetheless though, when we are talking about the battle face when it comes to al qaeda in the arabian peninsula the u.s. has a intelligence surveillance ability to acquire that type of intelligence. that said, as great as our nation is, really the u.s. like a lot of nations are on the sidelines here. >> there is a disagreement here, the white house doesn't want to move for morses in there but democratic senator feinstein and

republican senator mccain saying that's what we should do. >> as long as the houthis in the control that they have in sanaa remain, and this will sound strange, a rational actor it's safe to refer to this as the reluctant coup. the houthis have been saying consistently look, we're in a position to take over but we don't want to take over the country because we don't have the mechanism to do that. we can do it collaborativelily but it's got to be done our way. we want a say in the government we want certain ministries leading and having our people, the zaidis in those those,. >> and the zaidis is a shia sect in yemen. good exactly. the houthis are the largest clan of the zaidis which are an off

shoot of shia islam. >> and al qaeda in the arabian peninsula which is sunni. they are as courtney kealy said, at odds with each other. >> on the other side it could be a boon for right now for al qaeda in this wayment when you have this kind of situation now we're in the hinterland away from the urban areas where you have the sunni chance that might not otherwise be inclined to link up with the al qaeda types they have no alternative. >> which raises the question, this is a country for many years that was divided in north and south yemen has only been a united country for 20 years. are we going to see a split along sectarian lines? >> that is a terrific important point right now. yemen in the modern area was never a sectarian battle. it was all about regional

influence. in the northwest where the zaidis are in sanaa and in the south. now you are seeing a transition where it's starting to be drawn along sectarian lines outside the cities. >> what are the biggest international consequences as we heard stephanie describe a few moments ago, this is a very important geopolitical location where this are country lies on the arabian peninsula. >> from the traditional heart land of the zaidis but you also have lurking in the background tehran's interest, tehran vis-a-vis ryad. that's the immediate and constant international repercussions right now. >> robert mcfadden good to have you with us. >> thanks antonio.

i.s.i.l. claims an american hostage died in jordanian air space, and amman denies that. plus an i.s.i.l. flag flown in europe. we take you to a town in bosnia where the group is gaining followers.

>> i.s.i.l. is claiming that an american aid worker held in syria has died. kayla miller they say was killed in a jordanian air strike in the country. >> there's concern but no confirmation of i.s.i.l.'s claim. >> reporter: the monitoring group site intelligence posted its images, on its website

which says i.s.i.l. tweeted to support its claim. kayla miller held hostage was buried in the rubble killed by an air strike of an jordan f-16. the time and place i.s.i.l. says mueller was killed. a weapons storage facility was the target. u.s. officials expressed skepticism about the claim of the same group that lied about the status of the jordanian pilot it held, engaging in a sham negotiation weeks after the group burned him alive. >> we're obviously very concerned about the reports that have come in in recent hours. we do not, at the present have any evidence to corroborate i.s.i.l.'s claims. >> jordan says i.s.i.l. is trying to drive a wedge into the coalition, claiming a pr stunt. jordan has dramatically stepped up its air assault after they

were shocked of the brutal execution of the captured pilot. jordan played an outsize role in coalition air strikes of away was called i.s.i.l.'s storage and staging area. jordan's campaign to defeat i.s.i.l, a picture of him in full military gear looking resolute. when the king met with u.s. senators just after learning of the pilot's murder he made an impassioned appeal for more arms in a closed door session. >> jordanians are ready to fight. about the red tape, i couldn't believe what i read yesterday all the red tape they have to do to get help on the front lines to protect themselves. public opinion is shifting,

jordan has support in some of the sunni population. since the murder of al kasasbeh many are lining up against their king. >> the islamic state of iraq and the levant's measured of mu'ath al kasasbeh, has shifted public opinion. those who were against jordan joining the u.s. led coalition against i.s.i.l. last september are now for it and everyone here chanted in support of king abdullah. >> abdullah, abdullah. i.s.i.l. if you are really a man confront us face to face at our borders. you continues confront islam. >> revealed that jordan has always been i.s.i.l.'s target. >> translator: jordan is the next target after syria. if they occupy all of syria jordan is next so we have to strike this criminal group in

its hideouts. >> jordan has long been a stable country and its people fear being dragged into conflict. >> translator: i swear we are not afraid. we are proud and we stand behind the king and we'll offer our men and women to fight terrorism. >> convene rania surprised the crowds when she showed up at the rally, people have come from around the country to support the young pilot. this is a rally to support the government and its decision to step up its role to fight i.s.i.l. the manner of kasasbeh's murder has profoundly shocked citizens, turning them against i.s.i.l. on thursday, the army announced its fighter jets had hit i.s.i.l.'s hideouts in syria. it showed these images of jordanian fight esh fighter jets taking off from bases jordan says these attacks were just the

beginning and these images showed jordan's fighters writing threats against i.s.i.l. i.s.i.l. on their missiles. but the unique moment of solidarity. >> we should not conduct our foreign policy by emotional feelings we should calculate it. i think jordan has paid the price for all the ills in the middle east especially in iraq and syria. >> it is unclear how i.s.i.l. will respond to the bombardment. there are expectations jordanian security agencies will have to work harder to crack down on i.s.i.l. recruits and stop possible attacks and many here say that's something they will support. that's arena al shamaijeh, al jazeera. >> mike lyons, good evening to you. i want to talk to you about the propaganda war that's underway. we showed you the video of jordanian jets, american f-16s

it was produced like a propaganda video. was i.s.i.l.'s claim today that one of these air strikes killed an american hostage just a propaganda tactic? >> it was it was response to what jordan was doing. in propaganda terms a simple message knowing it would go to multiple audiences the citizens of jordan, the citizens of united states. classic propaganda by a group shown to be very competent about it. >> they have used beheading videos as well. as jordan ramps up its strikes could we see i.s.i.l. videotaping collateral damage, civilian damage? >> that's what we should expect, that i.s.i.l. will send a message to the rest of the world that they're attacking islam and

wantonly. that's clear they will get the message out because of the social media presence. we need to be on the watch and a strategy to counter. >> do we have a strategy ocounter this public relations battle? >> we are much reactive to what they do, we don't seem to get out in front. there is one state department twitter feed designed to keep recruits from going over there. it is notten within our jowrnldisticjournalistic ways. >> i.s.i.l. has so many twitter needs it's able to crowd-source what people's opinions are about how it kills its victims. >> what it ends up doing is makes its audience more satisfied, has a say in what it's doing. they're more on the offensive. it's difficult to say they're on the defensive.

in terms of propaganda, it only works when it's good. not when it's bad. we have to do something to turn the tide. >> their videos seem particularly sophisticated in their production. that's often been remarked upon. let's take a look at just one of the examples from the battle of kobani. do we have that video? it was actually shot by a drone. maybe we don't have that video. but they are able to actually shoot video -- here it is. of kobani. this was clearly before the town was devastated and retain by kurdish fighters rent. but this is what they're able to do. how important is the group's technological sphifntion, sophistication, important to its survival? >> ettes very important. very difficult looking for one needle in a very large group of haystacks, when it comes down to

shutting off its technology. apple computer, it's very simple to produce a very hollywood-like movie that again pings at your emotions. >> let's talk about the emotional-type video showing another one we don't like to blanket cover their propaganda, but this one featuring child soldiers, the training of these child you know i.s.i.l. recruits. what are videos like this one supposed to achieve? >> these are more internal. they're clearly for audiences with inside of players where i.s.i.l. controls. i think there's two issues here. the first one is fear. if you don't go along with us then there will be bad things that happen. but this is the kind of plan we have for your children. again, similar to what we saw the nazis do with their propaganda during world war ii. not only to the external audience but in this particular case it's designed for the

internal. >> that's an interesting comparison. what about the kasasbeh video so much came out about how they had burned this hostage. >> yes. >> and how that was against islam. was that beyond the pale even for i.s.i.l. and could that back fire? >> i think so. who is that message to, to sociopathic recruits that want to join i.s.i.l. you wouldn't think that's something they would want from their ranks but clearly from the other side that message is sphere to those people who are under i.s.i.s. control now. that might have been the tipping point. good groups understand how to manage violence strategically but i.s.i.s. seems to be doing it in a sociopathic way and that could be a tipping point to the point of seeing if that message sticks. >> mike lyons, thank you again for your insight, al jazeera national security drbt contractor

uberor. >> focus on bons bons bons yah. bosnia. >> look closely and you'll realize this is not the middle east, this is europe, are bosnia bosnia-hercegovina. the place of islamic state of iraq and the levant. fighting against i.s.i.l. in syria. >> i don't have any information on how many people went to syria. no one's taking notes on who went. i have no contacts with them. >> this place has been under surveillance for many years.

government arrested people years ago, and the scrutiny will continue. >> translator: security forces will continue its further activities to determine all circumstances around this event. >> the flag was taken down and the signs removed after security forces moved in. the house is currently empty and it's unclear who put the flag up. but the episode highlights an untold story in the i.s.i.l. saga as it coordinates forces in the middle east i.s.i.l. is inspiring a new generation of followers elsewhere. ali mustafa, al jazeera. >> bosnia's community has denounced those wanting to join i.s.i.l, and prison terms up to ten years for joining or

supporting terrorist groups about. standing shoulder to shoulder against moscow but don't agree on everything. >> plus a new twist in the mysterious death of the arjen tien prosecutor. a witness has disappeared. disappeared.

>> welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm stephanie sy. >> and i'm antonio mora. coming up in this half hour, a british tribunal, finds intelligence sharing between the u.s. and the u.k. was illegal. plus one film maker trying to change the perception of iraq and its history. european leaders were in moscow talking with russia about stopping the conflict in

ukraine. the next step will be a conference call on sunday, involving putin and ukraine's president. but positions that could derail the peace process. >> this is a moment when the united states and europe must stand together, stand firm. russia cannot be allowed to redraw the map of europe. because that's exactly what they are doing. >> the u.s. and its european allies accused putin of supportingsupporting ukrainian rebels. a design to annex eastern ukraine, a charge moscow denies. ending the crisis is expected to dominate the security council meeting. western leaders are hoping to find a peaceful solution in ukraine, previous attempts have failed to stop the violence for more than a few days. >> in eastern ukraine there is no sign of peace.

charles stratford takes us to the hard hit city of donetske where fighting has begun once again. >> another attempt at securing a truce. few people brave the streets of donetsk. the sound of nearby shelling echoed throughout the city. we're at a separatist control checkpoint close to the airport. the intense shelling and repeated calls for a ceasefire shows how difficult it is to maintain any truce. the fighters we spoke to at this checkpoint had little faith in this latest peace effort. >> we have already seen peace talks and i don't trust them anymore. when we offer them peace talks the ukrainian army uses the chance to enforce their positions. >> reporter: in town hundreds of people mainly the old and infirm queued for food handouts. this has become a daily scene in the recent weeks, in the self

proclaimed donetsk people's republic. >> all social benefits, pensions for invalids are not being paid anymore. we are not considered human. we are being eliminated. >> reporter: the shelling has become more indiscriminate lately. more than five people were killed when a shell landed close to this hospital. just as controlled by ukrainian army it is the civilians that are suffering the most. charles stratford, al jazeera donetsk. >> previously serveed as the moscow bureau chief. the minsk accords didn't lead to a real end in the fighting. >> right. we're seeing a real uptick in

the fighting right now and it is a very crucial moment. there is this diplomatic empt and i thinkeffort.and vladimir putin, it seems like it would be a good time for him to talk of peace but we're not seeing that from putin or any of the parties involved really. >> you mention the russian economy, taking a beating between plunging ruble prices and the fight being what do you think will compel putin to end direct support of the rebellion? >> right. we've seen vladimir putin in power for 15 years and he's not aguy who blinks. so it may not happen. he may be willing to bite the bullet othis. on this. in crimea, no shots were fired he's paying a much heavier price

in eastern ukraine because of the are opposition he's facing. there are these mounting reasons that would seem to encourage him if he made orational calculation that the cost here is very high but again we are not seeing him backing off. >> and if anything, it seems like separatists have gained a lot of ground in recent days. they have gotten donetsk airport, gained two separate cities in the past week. why would they negotiate? >> right, they seem to be on the offensive and they are getting a lot of support from russia. clearly they are getting physical support. nato says, nato and the entire west really, says there are hundreds of russian soldiers there, helping in many ways, certainly supplying weapons providing air defense support and other forms of assistance. so they're on the move and that may discourage them from talking right now. >> so assuming that a ceasefire is agreed upon and there's word

that that might happen this weekend negotiations are continuing what concessions is kiev willing to offer? >> it is clear the ukrainians would be willing to offer something for separatists in the area. it's not all black and white the separatists could say get a little more anonymity. there is a clear path that could be negotiated and every side could claim they've won something. but again we're seeing more fighting right now not less. >> meanwhile the national security advisor susan rice says the u.s. is considering more military aid for ukraine. there's been some pressure on

the obama administration to deliver lethal aid in the form of anti-tank missiles for example. why doesn't europe seem to be on board with this idea? >> i think that's just their fundamental approach throughout this conflict, has been there is no military solution. let's sit down and negotiate. that hasn't been very effective. president obama has taken largely the same position. and he still seems to be very hesitant about military aid. u.s. is giving nonlethal aid we are hearing some calls from some quarters to provide some weaponry but that's not clear that that's coming just yet. >> greg myrie npr international editor, thank you for your time. the intelligence community broke the law when it looked at electronic records collected by the u.s.'s nsa surveillance itself violated european human

rights laws. rights groups challenged the british government after nsa leaker edward snowden's revelations. >> improve their policies, improve the safeguards they've put out some of 1.which we've which we have been able to find out about after the courts forced them. we're still not happy with the state of play and that's why we're going to continue to appeal parts of this to the courts of human rights. >> responded by saying today's ipt ruling reaffirms that the processes and safeguards within the intelligence sharing regime were fully adequate at all times. it is about the amount of detail and processes and safeguards that need to be in the public domain. >> well, there are new allegations in the scandal surrounding the death of an

argentinian prosecutor aler alberto nisman. >> this is scene every day outside the courthouse in buenos aires where the judge must decide whether the prosecutor alberto nisman committed suicide or was murdered. his body was found in the bath of his well guarded apartment nearly three weeks ago a pistol in his hand. every day brings new revelations, new accusations. >> this is an earthquake for law in argentina. we had already a fragile democracy but this is the first time we have such a high-profile figure being killed in the context of a country that is in an electoral process in ten months we have a presidential

election. >> mr. nisman was investigating accusations that president kirchner and her foreign minister were involved in covering up alleged participation of a jewish cultural center in buenos aires. 20 years on no one has been convicted of that crime. many suspect the same fate awaits the nisman case. >> however they lack the resources, the capacity to solve these kind of complicated cases. so i don't think we're going to know. >> in a dramatic move the government has lifted restrictions to allow former spy chief antonio stelso to testify. but with his failure to solve the 1994 bomb attack and its alleged involvement in the death of mr. nisman, argentina's

conspiratorial intelligence service is being reformed. >> translator: we've made many extra suggestions to the project proposed by the government. it's not enough to dismantle intelligence agency and build a new one with all the problems and vices it suffers from today. >> reporter: argentines are talking about little else, divided between those who support president kirchner and those who believe the government's account of events and those who don't. many here doubt we'll find out who killed alberto nisman or those responsible for the bombing of the jewish center will ever be charged. most notably the intelligence agency argentina is now challenged with putting those right. daniel schwindler, al jazeera buenos aires. >> the form he spy chief has not

shoandshown up for questioning. he has not been found. >> 61 rotting bodies were found at a facility after neighbors complained about the smell. while some of the bodies appeared to be there for a long time investigators say others may have been placed there recently. many were covered with sheets and doused with quick lime in the apparent effort to hide the odor of decaying flesh. >> doctors in canada may be able to helping dying accident to end their lives. the canadian government has a year to draft new legislation on assisted suicides. until then the ban on assisted suicides remain in place. at least four u.s. states allow euthanasia or assisted suicide for terminally ill patients.

>> there is news on the plane crash in taiwan this week. >> why the pilots panicked and turned off the wrong engine. >> turning to global investors north to get the business up and running at home. running at home.

>> some scare corey moments for passengers on board a flight in colombia this week. an engine catching fire on the plane forcing it to make an emergency landing and a passenger records the incident from his window seat. the flight was forced to return to bogota, no reports of injuries and the plane touched down without incident. investigators are trying ofigure out why a transasia plane crashed into a river. for third day rescuers are recovering bodies from the

river, one of the plane's engines went idle before the accident. they're looking at whether the pilots turned off the wrong engine. >> the pilot actually did discuss reduce the power on number 1. but right now we can only stick from the data, we -- the data indicate the engine b cut off but we do not know why or who did it. >> the plane cart wheeled hitting a highway and then crashing into a river leaving at least 35 people dead. 15 people were rescued after the accident. well, chinese officials are reacting angrily by an appearance at the dalai lama at a annual prayer breakfast. >> as brown report from beijing chinese accuse the white house from interfering in international affairs.

>> chinese officials are not happy when president obama and the dalai lama are in the same room at the same time. but because the two didn't shake hands or hold a formal meeting the response has been quite measured quite restrained. if the two men had shook hands and had a meeting the responsiveness may have been altogether different. the dalai lama and barack obama have met on three previous occasions. on all of those occasions the meetings were held in private. but china's official spokesman still said his government was unhappy with what had taken place. >> translator: we oppose to foreign countries receiving the dalai lama. dalai is trying the to to get other countries to forward his political goal. this cannot be succeed. >> the chinese government accuse the dalai lama as a separatist,

by ourselves. >> small and medium size businesses make up 97% of all thai companies. >> translator: most small and medium business loans are commercial banks more than governmental banks. this is a common practice in everywhere country. >> reporter: but thai commercial banks favor traditional banks not startups like wash box 24. when he asked them for a loan they told him no. so he looked abroad, for seed money that took him to finland and switzerland. a few select companies control the real estate in the area. everything from small shops all the way up to luxury malls. because of its market reach wash box 24 has recently started working with central but some believe these huge companies are part of the reason thailand startups are struggling.

>> the economy is being controlled basically by about 10 families. we need to empower the 65 million people and not just the 10 families. >> reporter: so until that happens, most looking to get their startups off the ground will have to look further than this shrine in bangkok. a traditional spot for entrepreneurs to come and pray for good business. most likely they'll seek their seed money outside the country. scott heidler, al jazeera bangkok. >> more than 90% of companies in bangkok are small and mead size businesses which leads to fears competition. >> about 60 cars discovered in france. >> rare classic beauties waking up. >> and why jamaicans are loving
