constitution. al houthi will head the transitional department and u.n. asked for them to immediately return to the negotiating table. >> the members of u.n. has expressed great concern. the members of the security council call in the strongest terms for all parties in particular the houthis the national dialogue conference outcomes and the peace and partnership agreements which provide for a yemeni led democratic transition. >> well, houthi takeover has staged major protests across

yemen. separatist demonstration in the city of taiz. now let's go now to jamal al shayal waiting for us in aden, in southern yemen. >> fawzfauzia there have been demonstrations in aden, fadada and in mareb and several other spots. leading up to this declaration there were several protests that took place even against the houthi forcible takeover. they often came under fire and people were killed and abducted in that protest. divided in terms of the popular

response in terms of local governance, mayors across the country said they will refuse to take any orders or decrease coming out of sanaa. a lot of opposition indeed fauzia. >> we know that yemen is already a very divided country. how do you see this playing out among so many divisions? >> those divisions could only increase unless some sort of negotiations or negotiation process is resurrected. even in a popular aspect, the people coming out to protest the houthis being a shia minority has essentially made this power grab. the tribes from mareb the central and northern portions of yemen say they are threatening

to cut off electricity supply unless houthis rescind their coup and give power back to the elected government. so that could even make things practically more divided. with these different governors coming out the governor from aden where we are you could have these small kind of semi as youautonomous areas. >> thank you jamal.

german chancellor angela merkel and french presidential francois hollande have visited moscow. rory challenge reports from moscow. >> five hours of discussions face to face between angela merkel, francois hollande and vladimir putin. all we know about that discussion from a spokesman would said the talks were constructive. document will be prepared that takes in all the suggestions and that will be forwarded on to the different parties in this conflict. the negotiations themselves will be picked up again on sunday in a phone call that is going to be conducted in the normandy format. that means that it will involve all the people that are here in

moscow this afternoon and it will also include prp petro petro poroshenko the ukrainian president. not necessarily fruit-bearing we know precious little about what was happening going into it know precious little coming out of it. things that were probably talked about were the demarcation line between the separatist areas and the rest of the ukraine. things also talked about would be the border between russia and ukraine and also how much autonomy could be granted for separatist areas themselves. so much more to talk about still of course that will happen on sunday. >> now this diplomatic push comes as washington considers arming ukraine in its efforts

against the rebels. prime minister yatsenyuk. >> i am convinced that no one in europe wants to see russian tanks on the border with the european union. >> the white house says it cannot confirm if an american woman held hostage by i.s.i.l. has been killed in a jordanian air strike in syria. on an online statement the islamic state of iraq and the levant said the 26-year-old aid worker was buried under rubble in an aid conducted on raqqa. she was captured when she was working with doctors without borders. >> case where officials both here in a.m.man and in u.s., is

that i.s.i.l. is trying to change the campaign. they don't know whether this woman is still alive or not and they are doing allot of work to try to determine if that is indeed the case. one of the factors they knew they would have to contend with once the air war started against i.s.i.l. back in august was the idea of trying to have as broad a coalition including is members of the arab community involved in the fight against i.s.i.l. certainly has been one of the leading participants in air strikes inside syria. none of the air strikes carried out by jordan or by four other arab nations have been taking place i should say inside iraq where i.s.i.l. also has a notable foothold. but it has made it a lot easier in a tragic way. because the u.s. doesn't have to worry so much now about being accused of trying to carry out some sort ever a military

campaign against -- sort of a military campaign against muslims in arab territory because they can say look, we have people this believe as we do that what i.s.i.l. represents is a fundamental threat to all of our security. so it does help the u.s.'s messaging in that sense. >> to iraq now where hundreds of sunni muslim fighters from mosul are preparing for an attack to take back their town from i.s.i.l. as zeina khodr reports who will control the area once i.s.i.l. has been forced out? >> reporter: they hide their faces because their families live under the rule of the islamic state of iraq and the levant. these men are being trained a few kilometers outside the city they want to recapture.

they call themselves the sons of mosul. some of them have never been in battle. christians yazidis kurds arab sunnies, they say they have come together to fight a force,. >> we're going to fight together. >> this general has served in saddam hussein's army. many like him found themselves without a place in iraq. commanders and fighters were birth about how they were treated after the fall of saddam. these men say the armed group doesn't represent them but neither does the shiez militia. the fight to push out i.s.i.l. from the city of mowlz may be a

while away. it's not just a question of being ready militarily. the battle for iraq's second largest city will require a political decision. these men may represent many communities but iraq's shia are not among them. there is still little reconciliation. sunnis want the authorities to speed up plans to create the national guard. the plan involves establishing an armed force made up of people from the area. >> the sons of the city know who are good and who are terrorist. they won't treat everyone badly like the way the army used to treat us in mosul. we were all terrorists or at least suspects. >> reporter: commanders say the national guard is important in areas where the mainly shiez army may not be trusted. defeating i.s.i.l. in the strategic and highly symbolic city of mosul may be the beginning of the end for armed

group but military progress without unity can be the start of yet another conflict in iraq. zeina khodr are al jazeera iraq. we'll tell you why the canadian supreme court has struck down a ban on doctor-assisted suicide. -assisted suicide. >> how can we learn from the past? and create a better future? an al jazeera america special report race in america all next week part of our special black history month coverage on al jazeera america

protesting in yemen after shia houthi rebels took over the government and dissolved parliament. the u.n. ask warning of further action if the houthis do not return to negotiations. french officials say talks on the conflict in eastern ukraine have been constructive and substantial. the german french and russian leaders have had talks in moscow. continuing on sunday with the aim to produce a joint document to bring an end to the fighting. and the white house cannot confirm the a female hostage has been killed. 26-year-old aid worker was buried under rubble after a raid on raqqa. >> u.s. president barack obama has unveiled his security strategy meant to cover the next two years. patty culhane has more.

>> reporter: when it comes to foreign policy, president barack obama's campaigners have said he is slow to respond. slow to respond with this national security policy, five years in the making. it should try to avoid acting on its own. national security advisor susan rice argued it's working. >> think for a minute where the world would be today without decisive american leadership. ebola would be spreading throughout west africa and likely to far corners of the world. without us russia would be suffering no cost for its action he in ukraine. without us there would be no military campaign or 60 countries countering i.s.i.l.'s advance. >> she went on to dial the national security priorities and

it's a long list. protecting the home land its people and the u.s. allies. preventing economic slow down. preventing the nuclear proliferation of weapons. >> strategy a way of saying x is more important than y so i'm going to focus my resources there and because of who we are at the united states or how our politics work we actually avoid those policies in our foreign policy a lot and those documents tend to jeff rather than cause foreign policy outcomes. >> despite the criticism president obama believes it will work and is unlikely to change it over the next two years. patty culhane washington.

and cleaning up the system. the common man party came to power in 2013 in a populace way. however he lost a lot of support when he stepped down after 49 days when his minority government couldn't pass promised anticorruption reforms. that lost him a lot of support in the middle class but he is still popular among the worker poor and the lower middle classes. karin babi, has a personal reputation of being tough on crime and cracking down on corruption and generally having a reputation of getting things done. bjp has been riding a wave of progress. a jewel in the crown and it

would also be a test of prime minister narendra modi and his promised economic reforms. a win would cement his approval, a loss would be a crack in the armor of support. the selection is also chance for the common man party to reinvigorateselves. having in the past only won a few seed and only one state. the dark horse cock the congress party. they led the last government at the center and several state governments in the past. now if they win enough seats they could keep anyone party from winning an outright majority and could be a king or queen maker. internet spice share with the u.s., a british legal hearing say the spy jaght agency gchq.
