already decided to meet in order to come together in some sort of unison. what makes them more complicated is the separatists that have been here a while that now that yemen is in turmoil the capital is in turmoil it is tune opportune for them to form separate city states. very difficult faiza. >> thank you jamal. moving on leaders from france and germany have held what they call substantive talks with the leader of russia. angela merkel and francois hollande met with vladimir putin in moscow, the ukrainian
