8:00 am
>> don't try this at home. >> "techknow" where technology meets humanity. monday, 5:30 eastern. only on al jazeera america. >> announcer: this is al jazeera. you're watching the al jazeera newshour with me david foster, good to have your company. this is some of what we are looking at in the course of the next 60 minutes. yemen's deposed president managed to leave the capital after being held by houthi rebels for weeks. >> we are beginning to be co-authors of our destiny and reforms that we want to implement, we we are going to dictate. >> greece gets concessions on
8:01 am
the eurozone deal but will stick with the bailout to now behind me is 30,000 refugees and crossed from myanmar to china, and beside me soldiers trying to stop us feeling and the boxing match made in heaven is none floyd mayweather and mani yemen's former president abd-rabbu mansour hadi left the capital sanaa after being held for weeks under house arrest by houthi rebels. they are report toed have ransacked his home. he is -- reported to have rann tacked his home. he is in aden where he has a strong sunni base. the importance of him going to
8:02 am
aden, hashem ahelbarra, is because he has a power base. we are waiting for what happened next. >> exactly, he was born and served at a top military commander in the south for years. and then the president of yemen in 2012. if he says he's still the legitimate president of yemen, he'll have support in that part of yemen. two military unit in the south in aden are very loyal to the president. >> does that mean the houthi rebels backed by the former former president saleh and those in the south who may support the president who have gone down there are set for a confrontation over the future of the country. >> definitely you are talking
8:03 am
about the loyalists of former president saleh and the houthis moving to areas where you have sunni communities, in those areas. you can easily see clashes in the near future that the crisis continues. and how is aden politically significant. let's look geographically. he's the first president in the unification of north and south. these are the strong holds we saw them on the north and west. sadr is up in the north on the saudi border. if we look at the rest of the country, sunni majority areas are down there, rallying behind abd-rabbu mansour hadi. and on the south coast. if we talk about the area to the west of that which looks as though it is a sunni majority
8:04 am
area, it's the wealthy part in terms of mineral wealth. will we see a battle including al qaeda, moving that way as well. >> there are thousands of houthi fighters massed near the province. at the same time sunni tribes gathered and said we are waiting for orders to start the fight against the houthis. it is significant, that's where most of the oil and gas installations are. the only problem is in areas you have al qaeda, which is very active, and also they are moving north. it is significant for yemen. if he is the legitimate leader you'll see the realignment of political forces. other countries will move with abd-rabbu mansour hadi. northern part of the country
8:05 am
will move with the houthis. >> militarily who would have the upper hand in the face-off. >> well you know the houthis are well organised, managing to seize massive weaponry from the government when it took over in september. for them to move from their stronghold towards sunni areas, they need logistics and convoys to have all the military with them. the south is going to be almost impossible for the houthis. >> crucial days thank you now, moving to greece - it has struck a deal with other eurozone members over the financial bailout. it will not last forever, but both sides seem to be happy. greece will be signed on to the
8:06 am
existing bailout for another four months this is what the new greek government said it would never do. in return athens said it was free of commitment and would be allowed to pick how it reforms its economy on issues such as tax collection and pensions. the greece finance minister will work tirelessly to have reforms ready. now, a greece eurozone has been avoided. if the eurozone does not like the plan the crisis begins or it's not over. john has been following developments and send us this from athens. >> this was the greek and european nightmare. a devalued currency raised from the dead. destabilizing the eurozone and make greece poorer. if it hold the bank notes are likely to be the imagination of
8:07 am
a graphic nation. it depends on the greek side spelling out reforms it intends to undertake. >> the first step is that we have agreed and the greek authorities have agreed to present a first list of their reform ambitions, reform measures based on the counter arrangements, but also using the flexibility that is in the programmes. >> supporters of the left wing government in athens gathered before parliament to cheer lead the side to victory. careful not to disappoint them the government said it had delivered. >> we combined two things that are imagined to be contradictory. we combined logic and ideology in the way that we bargained. we combined respect for the rules and respect from democracy the greeks scored important
8:08 am
successors staving off austerity terms and won time to renegotiate the existing ones. crucially they get to discuss the repayment schedule that greece cannot meet. they did not get a truce with no strings. the germans forced them to pick up the programme where the previous government left off, meaning they have to meet austerity targets. >> perhaps the statement's main achievement is to call off the warfare that greece and germany have been digging into for months both claim to have included language securing core positions. it's a small step. it's in a new direction. he has to prove that change of direction was worth the change of government. and a journalist that runs precariouseurope.com documenting experiences and perspectives of young people in
8:09 am
europe. he is in athens. it was said in the last 20 minutes, that this means austerity is over for greece is alexis tsipras right in any way? >> he is right in a sense because he already approved the deal that greece had before. this is a positive step. it's not a capitulation back to the austerity memorandum as a lot of commentators are putting it. it's a new direction as the greek side puts it. it is something. it's definitely what i have been getting from voters in the street. people were happy that the government was listening, and didn't believe that alexis tsipras would come in. >> look he's telling this to the greek people to people like you who believe that he's a good thing to the country.
8:10 am
he has to come back with plans that apiece the people that lent the money. if he doesn't say he'll cut here and continue with this the deal is off. >> so now it's whether the greek government has the opportunity to dictate some of its own terms. the target is there. the way you get to the target is not there. it's not imposed by europe. greece can come with its own measures in they'll be announced on monday. it's important to see what the measures will be before we make a judgment further than what we are seeing right now. the possibility yes are there, but it's not - it's not an entirely new page. it's something less. it's something in the middle and it's open to interpretation. there's a lot of shades of grey rather than black or what. or depending on how you look at it and sell it to the people.
8:11 am
details will be vital from those that voted in what is the important thing to con sign to the past. what is the most important thing for those people who voted for alexis tsipras and syria. what is the important thing to put away to forget now? >> the important part is social justice. the most important part is to do away with the old structure that is keeping the greek economy from taking off. it's not about the debt foreign policy in the end. it's about making a difference inside greece. that is where the government will be judged. if they succeed in changing greece from the inside out, changing what is coming from the outside will be easier. they'll be able to sell it much more effectively to partners in europe and elsewhere. >> the delve is in the details,
8:12 am
we don't have those yet. thank you indeed. >> thank you despite a ceasefire signed last week in belarus, pro-russian rebels seized the eastern rail hub of debaltseve from ukranian government. paul brennan has the latest and is inside debaltseve. >> it's not difficult to appreciate the importance of debaltseve when you come now. the traffic of the separatist fighters is moving down the main road. donetsk is that direction, luhansk that direction. the ukranian soldiers retreated that way, to the north. the debris of battle is everywhere. burnt out boots left goodnight, and the signs of a struggle are everywhere. separatist fighters are in
8:13 am
control. the residents, civilians are emerging from their base. they are bewildered unsure of what will happen next. as the fighters move on to the next battle it's not just the civilians asking what is happening next but the monitors asking where the next fight will be. doesn't seem that debaltseve is the limit of fighters ambitions. >> paul mentioned diplomats, those of united states and britain talked about new sanctions, accusing moscow of breaching the ceasefire. >> we are talking about additional sanctions and efforts. i'm confident that over the course of the next days people are determined to make it clear that we are not going to play the game. we are not going to sit and be part of this kind of
8:14 am
extraordinarily craven behaviour at the expense of the sovereignty and integrity of a nation. this is behaviour that is counter to everything that the global community worked to achieve and put in place. >> we are going to take the opportunity to talk about the challenge we face in ukraine from russia's continued aggression, the unacceptable way in which the ceasefire agreement signed just 10 days ago has been systematically breached. we are going to talk about how to maintain european union unity and u.s.-european alignment in response to the breaches of that agreement. >> okay let's go to moscow talk to rory challands and get the russian point of view. does russia accept those people
8:15 am
the russian separatists, do they accept that they have broken the ceasefire. >> no, of course not. they have been saying all along that it's essentially the ukranian army creating the situations that the separatists in the east are responding to. and it's - the government in kiev essentially is creating the war. so when we here from people like john kerry saying there'll possibly be a winding up of sanctions is that what we hear from the kremlin is sanctions would be counterproductive, exacerbate tensions and promote the kremlin to come up with a suitable response. the west has a dilemma, it is not prepared to consider a military force in eastern you
8:16 am
cray other than the supplying of ukranian army with defensive weapons. the sanctions that it is applying don't seem to have noticed anything. we are in a position where per talking about doing another turn of the screw. not to say that sanctions had zero effect. they had significant effect. and that is to antagonise and annoy a hot of russians. and that is something that has been played on successfully at the moment. today in moscow we had thousands of people turning out on to the streets for an anti-maiduguri rally saying that what went on in ukraine a year ago was a bloody disaster and that nothing of the sort will happen here in russia. that is the kind of sentiments that you hear again and again at
8:17 am
the moment on the streets of moscow. >> thank you, in russia. coming up on the newshour. the fire that engulfed one of the tallest towers in dubai. hundreds had to be evacuated. now this... ..controversial bill causes a feweror in the turkish parliament and in sport, an unwanted record for pakistan at the cribb world cup, andy here with that story and the rest of the sport in about 30 minutes. there has been more shelling near the border between myanmar and china, fighting between myanmar's army and government who want greater autonomy for ethnic chinese began two weeks
8:18 am
ago. 30,000 refugees across the border to seek safety. we have this report from china's unan province. >> several times we heard the distant thud of artillery. the fighting on the other side of the border tends to ebb and flow. here on the chinese side things are relatively calm what we don't know of course is how many civilians have been killed caught in the crossfire. a chinese journalist i spoke to who was able to get to a town 10km away from here said that he saw the bodies of many men and women lying in one street. we can't verify it. have been hearing stories of our own from refugees that escape the. >> the new trade and exhibition center is a sign of economic hopes for the region. it's transferred today into a ref gee camp overflowing with those that fled the fighting
8:19 am
escaping with a handful of possessions. like the ethnic chinese, and with count of brutality by myanmar's army. >> the soldiers hit me again and again like this on my own head. >> reporter: this farmer arrived nine days ago. >> they took most of our cattle. i have a few left. there's a big mess there. too dangerous to go back. we are afraid they may kill us. >> elsewhere families squad in a row of partially built shops, fending for themselves. the military is in charge. humanitarian operation. a soldier shouts at the refugees to go inside. he doesn't want us filming them. sometimes the soldiers succeed. behind me is 30,000 refugees crossing into china, and beside
8:20 am
me the chinese soldiers trying to prevent us filming, it's a sensitive issue. they are providing food and shelter and water. this is a tricky situation for china. tricky because the refugees want china to support the campaign for autonomy. bg insist it doesn't interfere with policies of other countries. it was quiet, the border normally it's quiet, but there is fighting in an town visible in the distance. for some this is as close as they get to home. you don't get to choose neighbours, china has 14 and the one causing it angst is myanmar, a country that is a
8:21 am
friend and ally it is strained by what is happening across the border the united nations is considering naming those involved in committing war crimes in syria. human rights violations are getting worse. the syrian government says the report is bias. james bays, diplomatic editor reports from new york. >> reporter: the four commissioners have worked on documenting human rights and war crimes in syria for 4.5 years. the new report goes further than the previous eight ones. after meeting with the security council they told reporters they have a confidential list of the perpetrator of war crime, and may make it public. >> can i ask about a list of perpetrators, what impact if you decide to public could it have.
8:22 am
>> we have prepared four lifts submitted to the u.n. high commission for safe keeping in the safe. we are considering today, this month and next month, the pros and cons of whether or not to release the list. >> it's clear the commission will gain more support from the security council divided. as they left the commissioner thought the microphone was off when she said this: the syrian government was quick to give a reaction, the ambassador describing the commission as biased. are you worried key officials of your government, of the military, and bashar al-assad may be on the list? >> all this propaganda aims at destabilizing the syrian government and misleading public opinion. they did it in the past and will
8:23 am
do it in the future. >> the commission asked for the situation in syria to be referred to the international criminal court. that will not happen russia will use a veto in the security council. now, for the first time it is asking for the urgent consideration of the idea of setting up an ad hoc tribunal. in other word a social court for syria. syrian refugees bracing for more miserable weather. the cold snap continuing across the region. in the last few weeks snow storms hit the calamoun mountains, where 500 families are trapped. >> reporter: it's freezing cold in the mountains, the children are trying desperately to get warm. without wood and food they can't. >> translation: it's very cold we don't have enough clothes or oil for heating. >> reporter: 500 families are
8:24 am
living in flimsy tents. the mountains are close to lebanon, there's not a single aid session aworking here because the lebanese government classifies the area as a war zone and banned visitors coming here. >> we are suffering terribly in the cold weather, especially the children. the tent can't withstand the heavy snow fall or storms. we cannot afford to protect ourselves or afford blankets of covers. the heating fuel we had lasted for a week. >> reporter: these are some of the 7 million people inside syria who are displaced, forced from their homes because of nonstop fighting. as the snow falls, the refugees in the mountains are trying to survive the weather and the long brutal war in their country. >> reporter: a bill that seeks to boost police powers in turkey is proving controversial to say
8:25 am
the least. there's always someone with a camera phone, this time to catch one of two brawls in parliament about the issue. it's a bill giving police more power to conduct searches and increase searches for anyone carrying petrol bombs, slipping shots or fireworks. the ruling party is trying to create a press state. the measures are aimed at preventing violence. we'll hear from a column us from the daily news who believes it will get worse as they go through. >> turkey is polarized at levels not seen for a long time. opponents of imtiaz tyab and genders, that's the dividing line. we have a vicious rhetoric in the social media. finally it came to this fight in
8:26 am
the parliament. this is very bad, and comes in the midst of a new law where the government forces tried to raise the police authority to use live bullets. people including me worry that this will escalate the tension more. ultimately, if the government wants to pass a bill it has enough seats to pass the bill. only different voices can lead them to rethink this. one of them was former president who called upon his own party comrades to rethink the bill and the system fire has cut the top of one of the world's tallest apartment buildings in dubai. hundreds were evacuated from the metal railing down on the marina
8:27 am
distribute. we have this report. >> reporter: the building is called "the torch." many were in it at the time. no one was seriously hurt. they came around pounding on the door. and telling us to get out. that's our cue to leave. people nearby say it was scary, glass and pap else fell on to the streets, into buildings. with 86 floors the torch is a trophy of wealth that dots the dazzling futuristic disi line it's in the marina distribute. popular with expatriots and tourist. this is the image it is famous for, a playground for the rich and those that want to be rich. it has the world's tallest building and the luxury property
8:28 am
development in the shape of the world. dubai's leaders are protective of the image and would have us believe nothing news worthy happens here. when a skyscraper catches fire with people in it it goes viral. when news of the fire broke, social media lit up with interest. the city likes what it's known for, but will hope the record does not include having the highest residential fire. talking there about the wind fanning the flames in dubai, it's all over this part of the world, isn't it? >> it is. the fire came at the worst times, coinciding with the strongest wind. 45 kph. at this height, it would have been double that in terms of the gust. we look at the pressure pattern we have around the region. we have the area of low pressure, which has been pushing through.
8:29 am
you see a line of clouds. it's a classic cold front. it encourages the wind to develop. brisk, cool north-westerly ahead of it a couple of local winds, the coast and sehayley. here in qatar, 31. this afternoon 10 degrees lower than that. the winds are strong across the region. those are mean speeds. in the past 40 kpr, plenty of dust around the region as we get into sunday it willees off for a time. later in the day it will pick up. the area of cloud could give thunder storms over the u.a.e. region. winds will strengthen, and cool weather will stay with us. still ahead on the newshour mexico's government forced to slash the budget by billions of
8:30 am
dollars. we'll tell you why that happened. >> i'm phil lavelle in los angeles. forget ildownloads, hollywood's industry is facing a threat. it costs money, yet executives are reluctant to take to court.

8:33 am
>> translation: the consequence of bombings took place. the first and subsequented targeted the police station, and a third explosion half an hour later targeted civilians close to a police takes near the gas station leading to casualties. >> the largest number of casualties were at the petrol station, where there was a long coup. this is the home town of the speaker of the parliament in of the u.n. recognised government. he said the bombing was likely in retaliation for air strikes in the nearby town a claim that was denied. egypt carried out air strikes in response to the beheading of 21 coptic christians actions welcome by the un-recognised government in tobruk and condemned by the court-appointed
8:34 am
one in tripoli. the air strikes further destabilized the country and had an impact on 1 million egyptians who work in libya. this is the first batch that left the country. >> i am so happy that i'm safe. the issue is bigger than us. all of a sudden we were targeted. we lost our jobs and many things happened. >> the vast majority of people would not tell us the story on camera, saying since egypt carried out the air strikes, the situation of the egyptian workers is vulnerable. >> if the egyptian people and the egyptian leadership see 21 coptic christians being - seeing their throats cut, under the most brutal and horrible circumstances, that there is a rehabilitation of some kind. i would say we have to keep our
8:35 am
heads cool and make sure that we react but that we realise the risk of this country going up in flames. >> reporter: it comes at a time when the u.n. western powers favour the political tract, rather than lift an arms embargo as requested. >> those that choose not to participate are excluding themselves from discussions critical to combatting terrorism and peace, stability in libya. the best way to counter the terrorists is to have lib yaps build the consensus that they need to fight the groups not each other. >> a meeting among factions is scheduled for morocco. the hope is it will bring about a government. expected to counsel i.s.i.l. and its afailiates security forces in the philippines have been fighting
8:36 am
two of the longest running conflicts anywhere battling separatists on one front. communists on the other. as part of our series on mental health, we meet survivors from the conflicts who have to cope with more than the physical wounds. >> reporter: this is ward 25. rarely seen often whispered about. it's where soldiers go to be evaluated for psychiatric treatment. the stigma of needing mental or emotional health is no less when moved into rooms without bars. this corporal has been here for six months, since the unit came under fire from the southern philippines. >> it felt like new year's leave. they didn't know where the explosions were coming from. since then i haven't been able to sleep, maybe from thinking too much. >> reporter: the military has been fighting two long-running
8:37 am
conflict. 90% of troops see active combat. it's not just the fighting that triggers disorders, there's loneliness from being away from families boredom and financial problems. >> there are 120,000 then and women in the armed forces. this is the only psychiatric clinic dedicated to their needs. beds are full and there are not enough doctors. >> the psychiatrists say that there are fewer patients than before, and put it down to having institutionalized prevented methods. >> this stigmatizing is through education, we do lectures providing knowledge, anxiety, depression. >> the second lieutenant is grateful for his stay here. he's been able to process what happened to him and is
8:38 am
recovering. >> i thought my men would harm them. it was in my head. most of the patients want to return to service. for some, it's out of a sense of duty. others feel it's an only option. all know that stress and danger come with the job. and they'll have to learn how to cope so they don't end up back in ward 25. north korean state tv released photos of leader kim jong un expecting military drills. the test firing - images were released ahead of u.s. and south korean military exercises which pyongyang says are a rehearsal for an invasion. >> we'll take is further up into the sky. 400km, in fact this is the outside of the international

8:40 am
the help of the united states. >> these are allegations that we have seen from the nicolas maduro government. like all previous allegations, are ludicrous. the venezuela government should stop blaming the united states for events inside venezuela, and they need to deal with the grave situation it faces. united states is not prohm oating unrest nor undermining their economy or government mexico have been counting on energy reforms ending the monopoly of the state-run oil giant. the slum in oil polices threatens to undermine the plans to boost production and bring in more money. the national budget is likely to be cut. adam raney reports. >> reporter: oil is the lifeblood of mexico's economy. oil paying for a third of

8:42 am

8:43 am
>> the government acknowledges it has to cut back on oil dependency, i don't see the proper steps to implement the cut with that depend si. >> mexico relies on oil to carry it through good and bad time. estimates pointing to reserve of 100 billion. old habits could be hard to break. protesters took to the streets off haiti's capital port-au-prince over the deaths of people during the carnival last week. a float hit electrical cables dozens were died or were hurt. demonstrators damaged a shrine where the stampede took place, and protesters want those responsible for the stampede to be punished two men accused of trying to kill the bolivian president in

8:45 am
but fas have increased. i'll be lucky to remain after rent expires. >> he's not alone. many are homeless after not affording the increases. maiduguri is a city struggling with a large number of displaced perps, making it difficult to find a place to live. rent has gone up. owners are trying to cash in by putting up new buildings. the landscape is exchanging thousands are displaced by the attacks. they are trying to avoid refugee camps and are pushing rent up and home owners are not complaining. many came in from the up to s and villages when there's a rise in demand you expect rents to go up. everything is expensive around here. home owners have their preference displaced persons who have the money to pay.
