to health. >> "the week ahead". sunday 8:30 eastern. only on al jazeera america. >> yemen's deposeed president leaves after being on house arrest for weeks. i'm david foster. also in the next 30 minutes as the u.s. warns of more sanctions on russia we report from inside debaltseve. the separatests in ukraine took over this week. >> the debris of battle is everywhere. boots left behind, casualties.

>> we're going to call for reforms that we'll implement. >> sessions on the eurozone has to stick with the current bailout for now. plus in an apartment block goes up in flames. yemen's president hadi leaves the capitol. he had been put under house arrest. this is a stronghold for hadi and his supporters. now the suggestion is that we may hear from him fairly soon, and he may spell out what he wants to do.

>> yes that's what we've been told here. we have been told that his resignation was not a real resignation because he was under house arrest and control of the houthies. every is waiting for president hadi to spell out the truth of what happened in the last few weeks, and more importantly if he maintains his resignation. there are many who hopes that he'll reverse his resignation. many want him to lead against

the houthies and also he's going to give a speech in the next few hours. we heard in sanaa the former president is trying to convene the parliament, which has the majority of loyal he's to ali abdullah saleh and there is an expectation that the parliament would anticipate hadi's speech, and say we will accept hadi, and there are fears on the part of hadi and on the part of houthies that aden will become the capitol, and those who want to see a new beginning against the

houthis in the north. >> propro-russian rebels inside debaltseve. >> it's not difficult to appreciate the importance of debaltseve when you come here because the traffic between the separatist fighters. the ukrainian soldiers, went over the bridge, under way to the north. the debris of battle is everywhere burned out boots left behind presumebly by casualties and the size of an absolutely desperate struggle are everywhere. the separatest fighters are in complete control of the crossroads now.

the residents and civilians who live in debaltseve town have started to emerge from their basements. but they're still bewildered, and they're unsure of what will happen next. as fighters move onto the next battle, it's not just the civilian who is are asking what is next, it's the diplomats and the international monitors who are wondering when the next fight is going to be. it doesn't seem as though debaltseve is the limit of the separatist fighters ambitions. >> while this is happening in the united states, britain is talking about new sanctions on russia saying that moscow has breached the week long cease-fire. >> we are talking about sanctions, additional efforts. i'm confident over the course of the next days people will be determined to make it clear we're not going to play this game. we're not going to sit there and be part of this kind of extraordinarily craven behavior

at the expense of the sovereignty and integrity of a nation. this is behavior that is completely counter to everything that the global community has worked to achieve to put in place. >> we're going to take the opportunity this morning to talk about the challenge we face in ukraine, from russia's continued aggression, the unacceptable way in which the cease-fire agreement just ten days ago has been so systematically breached. we're not going to talk about how we maintain european union unity, and u.s.-european alignment. >> in response to john kerry's remarks, any increase in sanctions would be counterproductive which would lead to exacerbations of tensions and coming up with an

appropriate response. the west is in a dilemma here because at the moment it does not seem to be minded to use any significant military force other than possibly considering the supplying of the ukrainian army with defensive weaponry. the sanctions already applied don't really seem to have changed the kremlin's behavior in any way. so we're in a position where we're talking about giving the sanctions another turn of the screw to see if it has any effect. now that's not to say that sanctions have no effect. they've had a very significant effect on russian public opinion, and they've annoyed a lot of ordinary russians that make anti-western sentiment much more pronounced there. that's been played on maximum effect. you've had thousands and thousands of people out on the streets of moscow of what is being called an anti-maidan rally. that is to say that the people what are on the streets in

moscow were saying what happens in ukraine a year ago was a bloody disaster, and nothing of the sort should be allowed to happen here in russia. >> greece has struck a deal with other eurozone members with the financial bailout. it won't last forever but all sides are pretty happy. it means that greece stays even zood on for another four months, which is what germany wanted and what the greek government said it would not do. in return they say it is free, it will be allowed to pick ute how it reforms its economy on things such as tax collections and pensions. greece's finance minister said that it will work tirelessly for the monday deadline. they have avoided greece leaving the eurozone, but if they don't like the plan then the crisis continues. we have this report from athens.

>> reporter: this was the greek and european nightmare. it would if a preliminary agreement reached in brussels holes, those bank notes are likely to remain the product of a graphic artist artist's imagination. still they're careful not to over sell the deal in the reforms it intends to undertake. >> the first step in this process is that we've agreed, and the greek sports have agreed to present a first list of their reform ambitions reform measures based i first of all on the current arrangements, but also using the flexibility that is in the programs. >> supporters of the left wing government cheerlead to victory.

>> we combine logic and ideology in the way that we bargained. >> you the greeks scored important successes. they've saved off staved off and they get to discuss ever repayment schedule, but they did not get a truce with no strength attached. they will pick up the program where the previous regime left off. >> calling off political warfare that they have been digging themselves into for months. both sides claim language that security both positions. they say it's a small step.

now they have to prove that the change of direction is worth the change of government. >> we have this coming up here in al jazeera. >> well, behind me is some of the 30,000 refugees who crossed over from myanmar into china and besides me chinese soldiers who are trying to prevent. >> many finding it hard finding it hard to find a home because of boko haram. >> monday. >> this is the place where 43 students were handed over to criminal organizations. >> a crime that shocked the world. >> the military is about a mile away. they say that they didn't hear anything. >> where are mexico's missing students? >> kidnappings keep going up human security is collapsing. >> "faultlines". al jazeera america's hard-hitting... >> today they will be arrested. >> ground-breaking... >> they're firing canisters of

>> global headlines. yemen's president hadi has left the capitol after being under house arrest for weeks. we understand that he may talk in the next hour or two. the eurozone has agreeed to greece's bail out and will spill out new reforms by monday of next week. secretary of state john kerry says washington is considering more sanctions against russia.

>> an apartment building in dubai. they evacuated away from the glass and metal raining down in the district. >> many people nobody was hurt during the fire. >> they pounded on the door. >> people nearby said it was scary, glass and metal panels fell on the streets below. 86 floors, it it's in the maureen in a district, a part of town popular with ex-patriots and tourists. and this is the image famous dubai is famous more.

it's the may grouped for the rich and those who want to be rich. it has the world's busiest airport, and the luxury development in the shape of the world. dubai's leaders are protective of this image and some how leads us to believe that nothing ever news worth happens in it. so when news of the fire broke overnight, social media let up with interest. the city likes what it is known for, but will be hoping that it's record does not include having the world's highest residential fire. al jazeera. >> the united nations says it may well name those people who they believe are guilty of war crimes in syria. syrians say that the reports are biased. >> the four commissioners having

with wonhavbeenhave been working on the war crime reports for years. of the meeting they told reporters they have a confidential list of the perpetrators of war crimes, and they may make it public. >> can i ask you about your lists of perpetrators. what sort of impact if you decide to publish could that have. >> to date we have prepared four lists, which have been submitted for safe keeping. we're also considering today this month and next month the pros and cons of whether or not to release the lists. >> it's clear the commissioners want more support from the security council which has been divided on syria as they left commissioner felt thought the

microphone was off when she said this to the ambassador. >> the syrian government was quick to give its reaction. it's ambassador. >> are you worried that your government even the name president assad might be on that list? >> all this propaganda aims at destabilizing the government and misleading the public opinion. they did it in the past, and they'll do it in the future. >> the commission has repeatedly asked for the situation in syria to be referred to the international criminal court. that's not going to happen because russia will use its veto here in the security council. now for the first time it's asking for the urging consideration of the idea of setting up an ad hoc tribunal. in other words, a special court in syria.

james bays, al jazeera. >> the details in that report. for some of them, well, this time of year bad weather and in the last few weeks heavy snow storms have hit the mountains where 500 families are trapped. >> it's freezing cold in the qalamoun mountains, and these children are trying to keep warm but without wood or fuel they can't. >> it's very cold, and we don't have enough clothes or oil for heating. >> 500 families are liveing in flimsy tents. there is not a single international aid agency working here. that's because the lebanese government classifies the area as a war zone and has banned visitors were coming here. >> we're suffering terribly in the cold weather especially the young children. the tents we're living in can't

with stand the heavy know fall or know storms. we cannot afford to protect ourselves. we cannot even afford the blanks or covers. the heating fuel lasts only a week. >> they were forced from their homes because of non-stop fighting. as the smoke continues snow continues to fall, they try to survive the weather and the long brutal war in their country. >> the conditions are not as bad as people who are living in the northeastern united states. they have not had it this cold apparently for more than 100 years, and it will continue. >> climate scientists have longed warned us to expect major weather events to multiply, and niagara falls is a symbol of the extreme weather developing in the eastern half of the united

states. washington, d.c. is just one of the cities where new lows have been set on friday morning the cold was enough to break a 120-year-old record low for the same date. new york pittsburgh, baltimore and miami have also surpassed previous lows. in philadelphia an ice palace was created after firefighters distinguished agiler. in lake michigan the extreme cold is part of a shift southwards called the polar vortex. researchers at rutgers university studying the effect of weather change say there may an everyone. >> you change the polar ice cap of a planet the planet behaves differently. this is deceptive because this is the sixth warmest winter in the u.s.

while the east digs out of the snow, the west are tracking the warmest februaries on record. >> the countries opposition leader wants people there to renight and resist government plans to crackdown on dissidents. and they say that the mayor of caracas must be released. accused of plotting a coup with the help of the u.s. >> these are allegations we've seen with the maduro government. the allegations are ludicrous. the venezuelan government should stop blaming the united states and others members of the international community, the united states is not promoting unrest in venezuela, nor are we

attempt to do so undermine venezuela's economy or it's government. >> two men accused of trying to kill the bolivian president six years ago say they're guilty. they are guilty to rebellion. >> there are been protests in hate less' haiti's capitol at a carnival. demonstrators here damaging a shrine put up where the stampede had taken place. >> north korean state tv has released more photos of its leader kim jong-un inspecting the military. it test fired rocket launchers and other weapons.

it takes place during exercises that pyongyang says is in case of an invasion. so march 30,000 myanmar refugees have crossed the border for safety in china. >> several times today we heard the distant thud of artillery the fighting on the other side of the border does tend to ebb and flow. but here on the chinese side things are relatively calm. what we don't know is how many civilians have within killed, caught in the cross fire. one chinese journalist i spoke to who is able to get to the town kilometers away from here said that he saw the bodies of

at least 20 men and women lying in one street. we can't verify that, but we've also been hearing stories of our own from refugees who escaped. >> the new trade and exhibition center is a symbol of the economic hopes china has for this remote region. but today it's been transformed into a refugee camp overflowing with those who fled the fighting. often escaping with just a handful of possessions. like those on this side of the border they are ethnic chinese. with accounts of brutality by myanmar's army. >> the soldiers caught me and hit me again and again like this. just like this on my own head. >> this father arrived nine days ago. >> you mean--they took most of our cattle. i only have a few left. it's too dangerous to go back. we are afraid they might kill

us. >> elsewhere families squat in a row of shops. fending for themselves the best they can. the military in charge of this operation a soldier shouts to the refugees to go inside. he doesn't want us filming them. sometimes the soldiers succeed. hyped me is some of the 30,000 refugees who crossed over from myanmar into china. and besides me are chinese soldiers who are trying to prevent us filming. they are providing food and shelter and water for these averages but this is a tricky situation for china. >> tricky because some of these refugees want china to support their campaign for autonomy. but beijing insist it is doesn't interfere. the boards were eerily quiet saturday. normally it's one of the busiest

crossing points between the two countries, but some of the fighting is going on in a town of looking loqang just visible in the distance, and for some this is as close as they get to get to home. >> you don't get to choose your neighbors, and china has four of them and the one that is causing the most angels at the moment is myanmar. and that friendship is being strained by what is happening across the board. >> maiduguri has seen increased violence. >> a third child arrived only two days ago. and he thought they deserved a better place to live. now he's giving up on moving out. >> i used to pay a fraction of

my income as rent. now i'm asked to pay three times the amount. i search for an alternative, but it is the same thing everywhere. >> 's not alone. many are homeless because they can't afford the increases. but homeowners are eager to meet the rising demand for housing. maiduguri is struggling to help displaced persons. it's difficult to find a place to live because rent has gone up. now owners are trying to cash in by putting up new buildings. >> the landscape is changing. thousands of people are displaced by the attacks while boko haram fighters are forcing displacement, and plane are pushing rent up. >> many have come in from the towns and villages. whenever there is a rise in demand and supply is short you expect rent to go up. everything is expensive around

here. >> homeowners have their preference. displaced persons who have the money to pay. this puts plane at a disadvantage. now with boko haram in the region under way many will be forced out of their manslaughter, and with maiduguri the place for displaced, the rent situation is only expected to get worse. al jazeera, northeast nigeria. >> canadian politician raised an eyebrow or two. pat martin represented winnipeg center, and he said to leave the chamber as his choice in underwear were causing problems. >> briefly i can blame it on a sale held at the hudson bay. it had men's underwear on at half price. i bought a bunch that was
