with more sanctions. we have won the battle but not the war. greece's prime minister warns of tough negotiations ahead with the eurozone. ♪ >> the coup in yemen was illegal. all appointments since then were against the law. >> that's the message from the man who says he is still yemen's president. in a statement obtained exclusively by al jazeera, he calls for international assistance to protect the country's political process. he insists he remains committed for a unified yemen. he also calls for the withdrawal of all armed militia and for the prime minister as well as other political figures to be released from house arrest. mohammed vall has more from the southern port city of adin.

>> the president was expected initially to give a speech on the local area but he decided today give a written statement. >> written statement was obtained by al jazeera. it included quite a few points. one of them is that every decision, every appointment, every change that took place since september 21st, the date when the houthis stormed sanaa should be an you willed and it should be considered nulled. those were taken by a militia that has occupied the capital of yemen. he demanded the international community to continue to support the solutions, the solutions after the downfall of the former president. those include the gulf initiative, the terms of the gulf initiative and, also the

terms of the yemeni national dialogue. he says he still abides by those conditions, those terms and resolutions and that the international community should help. he also demanded the immediate release of all of the ministers and higher-ranking officials who are under house arrest or who have been abducted by the houthis and he demanded that the partners to the national dialogue the peace talks that have been taking place the last few weeks should move here to adin so that everybody can contribute and participate in the search for solutions for yemen. >> mohammed vall with the latest from adin. the houthi is by no means the first challenge yemen has had to face. face. he has had to deal with tribunal infighting and the weak military as richard martin now explains. >> reporter: adrabu was a career

soldier born in 1945 in the province of abian in southern yemen. he graduated from military school in 1964 and went on to receive more training in the u.k. egypt, and russia. he rose through the military ranks in the people's democratic republic of yemen and became an aide to the chief of staff. in 1990, the north andth south united to form today's republic of yemen. after a brief war between north and south in 1994, he was appointed defense minister then vice president. but hadi lived in the shadow of his president who ruled yemen for 33 years. hadi was a secretary general of the ruling party under the general people's congress but his unfortunated changed in 2011 when widespread protests forced sala to quit. sala left office in 2012 and hadi became a compromised president under a u.n. gulf

plan. >> same year hadi ran unopposed and was elected president. he started to restructure the military and tried to rebuild a state, but he faced tribal sensitivities, political infighting and a weak and divided military. he struggled to win the influence of the deposed president who installed loyalists in top positions. critics saw him weak and indecisive. he hit back saying he inherited a semi functioning state. yemen's transition was not smooth. in september last year shia houthi rebels stormed sanaa and went on to control military basis and other provinces largely unopposed. now, with two apparent centers of power the president's new base in adin the political landscape appears to have changed yet again. richard martin al jazeera. for more on the situation in yemen, joining us is mohammed

juma a yemeni writer. we were just hearing of the many challenges that hadi has faced in the past. he is facing another crucial one now. what do you think his next steps are going to be? >> i think as he said in his statement, the next step will be to call for a national government. he called the committee to supervise and observe the outcomes of the national dialogue after the members of this committee together he didn't mention one named adin to be committed to help that. one of the next steps will be to form a government there is no government now. >> he accident for the prime ministers to be taken out of house arrest and many other political figures the world placed under house arrest. >>

exactly. he could call for the house arrest from the prime minister, the former prime minister all could name a different prime minister to form the government. >> when we look at many of the things that he requested, he also said that he is calling for the international community to protect the political process in yemen. i mean what do you think exactly he is asking for? the international community, i mean many haven't referred to it as a coup necessarily. so what do you think he is calling for? >> i think there are three main resolutions by the security -- national security united nations, which mentioned and named hadi as the legal and institutional president of yemen. so, there is already a support.

ban kee moon named him and he called for the left of the house arrest, but i think hadi, from his experience dealing with the international

country yeah is more split sue. >> to start from the last national dialogue and to know how to implement the outcomes of this dialogue national dialogue, then there might be a chance to get a way out of this you know, in yemen. but if the houthi is still going

to continue to take the country over by force, by power, and they didn't listen and they don't listen to the different parties and to the demonstrations every day in sanaa and adin i think we were going to some sort of like, you know civil war. >> 340e78d, juva. thank you so much. to nigeria where the army says it has retaken a keyboarder town from boko haram fighters t near chad and kamaroon. boko haram seized the town in what was called the worse massacre. these satellite pictures were released by amnesty international, and shethey show the scale of destruction. at the time, nigeria's government said 150 people had been killed but locals put the

actual number of dead as high as 2000. more now from nigh year i can't's capital. >> reporter: the recab tour of baga is a huge victory for the nigerian army because it really has been the thorn in the side of the fight against the group over the last six years, two very controversial events have taken place earlier in january. there were reports that at least 2000 people were killed by boko haram and the military were basically accused of turning a blind eye to this. in 2013, similar accusations, though smaller number, at least 200 people were allegedly killed by boko haram and dumped in a mass grave. the authorities were accused of not responding to sos calls from residents in the area. so it was hugely important for the nigerian military to get this town back from boko haram. now, what they are telling us is

that many boko haram fighters were killed in the violence that took place that they were able to get weapons that the group were holding, anti-aircraft weapons, folks vehicles and that what they are hoping now that the town is under the control of the nigerian armies we will see many thousands of people who sfled to neighboring countries like niger republic return. >> a researcher at the school of orientation and africa studies, thank you for being with us here on al jazeera. unsurprisingly, the nigerian army is he can static that baga has been recaptured. does this spell a long-term victory considering how troubled their fight has been? >> i think it's the beginning of things to come. there ought to be a series of more of these vict occurring so we can see a real game-changer. >> it's interesting. who actually won? because what we have seen is a sorts of unification of

coordination of various regional armies in the fight against boko haram becoming ever stronger. do we have a clear idea of who exactly won baga? >> well we know that the nigerian troops have actually won back baga. we know there was a coordination of airstrikes from the other part of this and not saying who did what but at least we know on the ground they had some support from the air and nigerian troops were on the ground to reclaim baga. >> the timing i guess, is good for the government. he elections due in a few weeks. >> yes. >> do you think they will be able to go ahead? >> realistically, i think that they may have to -- there is a higher possibility the elections will be postponed on the 28th of march. i say this because even when there are more victories to defeat boko haram, there is a certain level of occupation just to keep boko haram away.

the reason for extending the election date is actually because you want troops to disengage from the northeast to cover the 155,000 units. for that same reason the troops need to be there for a lot longer and cannot be disengaged by march the 28th. so there is a very high possibility it will be postponed. now, the electoral commission can postpone election until the 30th of april, by which time the man data would have finished. anything subsequent would have to be done by the president, himself, and so we can see why goodluck jonathan had the press conference to distance himself from the decision to postpone the election. he said, i was not consulted. it's basically the game forward to give a chance if he needs to do that in the future. >> it will be interesting to see if they do. from the school of african and orientation studnies london thank you. >> thank you. >> well, the nigerian january city

of madaguri has become a refuge for tennessee of thousands come out caught up between the army and boko haram but for many the challenge is trying to find an affordable home. >> reporter: jani has been looking for a new house for his growing family. a third child arrived only two days ago and he thought they deserved a better place to live in. now, he's given up on moving out. >> i used to pay a fraction of my income as rent. now, i am asked to pay three times the amount. i have searched for an alternative, but it seems there is an increase everywhere. i will be lucky to remain here after my rent expires. >> many are homeless because they can't afford the increases. but homeowners are eager to meet the riding demand for housing. madiguri is struggle with displaced persons. it has made it difficult to find a place to live.

some owners are trying to cash in by putting up new buildings. >> the landscape of the city is changing. thousands of people sglaidz by the attacks by boko haram fighters are trying to avoid the harsh life of refugee camps and pushing rents up and homeowners aren't complaining. >> many have come in from the towns and vimingz. ever there is a rise in demand and supply is short, you expect rents to go up. everything is expensive around here. >> homeowners have their preference: displaced persons who have got the money to pay. this has put some original residents at a disadvantage. the military offensive against boko haram underway, more people will be forced out of their homes and with maiduguri considered a ref eugenia for the displaced, the rent situation is only expected to grow worse. mohammed edrisi northeast nigeria. >> still to come in this news

hour, we are in a remote corner of china with thousands of refugees who have fled fighting in myanmar. find out if barcelona could move top of la liga. the details coming up in sports. the u.s. secretary of state, john kerry says he and washingtonts allies are considering more sanctions against russia. he said they are being left with little option because moscow continues to undermine the cease-fire in ukraine. kerry made the comments in london where he has been meeting his british counterparts. >> we are talking about additional sanctions, additional efforts. i am confident that over the course of the next days, people are determined to make it clear we are not going to play this game. we are 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. >> joining us in our london studio is rosalind jordan traveling with the secretary of state. it's great to have you in london. first of all, >> it's being conducted and in fact a couple of hours ago, we had a press conference with secretary kerry where he said we actually have more sanctions that could do even more damage. we have been trying to avoid hurting the russian people because our fight is not with the russian people.

however, we do have more types of sanctions that can be imposed and inevitable -- that's a quote -- john kerry said they are looking seriously at imposing some in the next several days because they are very concerned that russia essentially is ignoring this latest ceasefire that was agreed to last week for minsk. >> it really does sound like then the secretary of state is reluctant to impose these new sanctions, which as he mention did will hurt the russian people. are they going to try to negotiate with russia or giving a time when these safrmsz would be? >> it seems to be urgency. it seems as if before the end of the coming week there may be a new rounds of sanctions being announced, probably first by the united states because it takes more work to get the eu countries to actually agree on a course of action but john kerry seemed very determined on saturday that something has to be done because this ceasefire is not being agreed to as russia

said it would abide by. >> rosalind, another key topic secretary kerry spoke about was iran's nuclear program. let's take a look at what he said? >> our governments remain in lockstep with our international partners on the importance of cutting off iran's pathways to the potential of a nuclear weapon. i will travel to geneva tomorrow to meet with foreign minister zarif to see if we can make progress in these talks. a unified p5+ 1 put on the table ideas to achieve our objective. now, we will find out whether or not iran is able to match its words about it's willingness to show that this program is fully peaceful. >> rosalind the trip continues to geneva on sunday morning to discuss iran. did we hear anything new from the secretary of state on this issue? >> we did hear something very

new. there have been questions about whether the obama administration -- and by extension, the other members of the p 5+ 1 or e3+ 3. this has been the second extension of these discussions with the iranian government. president barack obama has hinted in wrooenthz he is really not inclined to extend these talks anymore. on saturday evening, john kerry was very clear, the president would be willing to basically wash his hands of all of this because there would be in the u.s.'s view a sign that iran really is not committed to being honest about its intentions regarding its nuclear program. it's a very very significant statement going in to the last five weeks of talks before they try to get a political framework on a deal. >> you are traveling with the secretary of state to geneva tomorrow. of course, you will tell us all about those talks. for the moment it is great to have you in the studio. rosalind jordan thank you. >> activists say 10 children were among at least the 48

people killed north of alleppo earlier this week. they said government forces killed five alleged rebels on tuesday and in northeast damascus activists say five people were killed in the rebel-helbed town of dumah after government warplanes launched several attacks. 20 others were injured. the u.s.-led coalition continued its assault on isil targets in syria and iraq. the combined joint task force said it launched six airstrikes over the past 241 hours, destroying two isil positions near kobani in syria. five strikes are said to have destroyed an isil-fighting position as well as buildings and vehicles. >> in egypt, one of ousted president's hos president's hossni barack has been found innocent.

he was accused of exporting oil to israel for prices lower than market rates. >> had allegedly cost egypt billions of dollars in revenue. he had been sentenced to 15 years in prison at the original trial back in 2012. >> a bill that seems to boost police powers against protesters is causing controversy in turkey. there have been two fights in parliament this week over the issue. the security bill gives police more power to conduct searches and increases penalty did for anyone carry petrol bombs, sling shots or fire workers. they are accusing the ruling act party of trying to create a police state. the government says the measures are aimed at curbing violence. >> the daily news thinks tensions will evening late if

the bill is passed. >> these days probably turksey polarized at a level that hasn't been seen for a long time and the opponents of the erdawan and the defendants, that's the dividing line and you have a very vicious political rethetoric in the media, in the social media and finally it came to this fight in the parliament. this is unfortunately very bad and this comes in the midst of this new law where the government, of course, is trying to raise the police authority to use live bullets, for example, in the face of public protests and people including me have to worry that this will only escalate the tension more at a time when we need to just decrease the tension. 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. and one of them was president,

former president who called upon his own party comrades yesterday to rethink this bill and the system that erdowan is promoting these days. after almost two weeks of fighting, the government of myam myanmar says it is winning,. it forced 3078 people to flee into china. adrienne brown reports now from china's hunan province where people are crowding for shelter. >> reporter: several times today, we have heard the distant thud of artillery, the fighting on the other side of the border does tend 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. one chinese journalist i spoke to who was is able to get to the town of lokang about 10 kilometers 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. >> a new trade and exhibition center is the symbol of the economic hopes china has for this remote region. today, it has 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 chinaedes, and with the counts of brew mortality by myanmar's army >> translator: the solids k5u9 me and hit me again and again like this, just like this on my own head. >> reporter: this farmer arrived nine days ago. >> translator: they took most of our cattle. i only have a few left. there is a big mess there. it's too dangerous to go back. we are afraid they 3450i9 kill us.

>> reporter: pels where they squat in shops fending for themselves as best thing. the military is in charge of this humanitarian operation. a soldier shouts at the refugees to go inside. he doesn't want us filming them. sometimes, the soldiers succeed. >> behind here are some of the 30,000 refugees who have crossed over from myamnar. 3w50id me are chinaedes soldiers trying to present united states filming. it is a sensitive issue from china. they are providing food and shelter and water for these refugees, but this is a tricky situation for china. >> tricky because some of these refugees want china to support their campaign for autonomy. beijing insists it doesn't interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. the border between china and m myanmar was errily quiet.

normally, it's one of the busiest crossing points between the two countries. some fighting is going on lokang, just individualsible in the distance. and for some of those who fled this is now as close as they can get to home. >> you don't get to choose your neighbors t china has 14 of them, and the one causing it the most angst at the moment is of course myanmara country it considers a friend and an ally but that is being strained by what's happening just across this border. much more still to come on the program, including russia's rubal recovers slightly, but we will tell you why the rough r50id isn't over just yet for the ailing currency. plus. >> i am daniel schweimler in a factory that may be an example for others in economic hardship. >> in sport, the fight that is said to be the most lucrative in boxing history.

we are following here on al jazeera. why i amen's hadi has labeled the recent coup in the country illegal and says et cetera still president. hadi has left the capital, sanaa where he was in the custody of houthi reynolds. the the nigerian army says it regained full control after an offensive with bokoram. it was described as the worst massacre of the group's six-year insurgency. u.s. secretary of state yon kerr ry said more saringsz could be on the table for russia with monko's undermining of the cease ceasefire by giving support to the separatists. the eastern ukrainian town of debelseve was captured four days after the ceasefire was supposed to have stopped the town. a report from the signagepsychological

scars of the civilians. >> reporter: the big battle is scattered with the debray of war, the black ended evidence of intense close-quarters combat. it's four days since the ukrainian troops fled from here. the shell-shocked civilians are dazed and dalagavia is one of hundreds left homeless by the fighting? >> i wanted and tried so hard to maintain the house and make it comfortable so i could leave an inheritance to my granddaughter. now, it's unrepairable no ceiling, no roof. only the walls remain. >> inside her house is uninhabitable. it's so horrible she says. galena has to sleep in the seller under a nearby grocery store. >> 15 people are living there because their houses have been completely destroyed.

>> are they receiving any help any assistance? are you getting any humanitarian aid? >> nothing. i haven't received anything. no humanitarian aid. nothing. >> the residents' emotions swing between bitter resentment and tearful sdpai. many have not had water supplies for months. the man in the middle of this crowd is not distributing humanitarian aid. he is appealing for calm. there is a humanitarian crisis here in devbaltseve, the donetsk peoples repuck are not able to address. >> the man promises help is on its way. >> we will accept help from whoever can provide it. yesterday, eight planes landed during the night in a humanitarian convoy arrived in donetsk. 10 trucks with 110 tons of food stuff especially for the people of debaltseve.

>> reporter: a fact finding group from doctors without borders has arrived. they haven't yet set up a medical facility. >> not yet. not yet. >> residents who fled to the sell arizona to effect ape shelling have no where to go back home to. when the conflict erupted last year 18-year-old lisa gajenko was hoping to finish college. now, she has no hope at all. >> there is a war going on. brothers killing brother. how many innocent people have been killed? how many children have died? it's impossible to feel that without -- see all of that without weeping. only those who experience these things can know how i feel. there is nothing more terrifying in the whole world than this war. and people need to find a way to survive. >> an effective ceasefire in east ukraine would be only the

first small step in restoring a degree of normality. conflict has caused mental and psychological pain just as deep as the physical hurt paul brennan, debaltseve. greece is under pressure to finalize reform proposals that will keep its lifeline open after last-ditch talks with the euro zone. the hard left government has until saturday to secure a 4-month bail-out extension. >> reporter: yesterday, we won a battle but not war. the difficulties real difficult is not only those related to the negotiation and our relationship with our partners are ahead. the negotiation is now entering a new, more substantive stage from a final agreement of transition from the bail-out deal of austerity measures to policies of development, employment and social cohesion. >> one of the big challenges for

tsipras's government is deciding where the government will come from to pay back their creditors. taxes have risen sharply but so has the number of people not paying them. as john siropolas reports, the country is in more debt than ever. >> reporter: these are the children of the parents who lost ability to care for them in the crisis. they are among 300 live nag foster carty of sos children's villages. not only does it not seek state subsidies. it paid $130,000 in taxes each year almost five times what it paid before the crisis. with that money, it says it could care for another 25 children. >> we have a lot of important charities and institutions in greece. they could increase the work but they cannot not because they are lacking of any governmental subsidies or support but because the government by taxation is taking

the money of private donor or company that gives to the charities for making and doing what the state should do. >> reporter: taxes have risen sharply during the greek crisis partly to repay creditors for a quarter of a million dollars in arrears. >> the governmentts plan is to collect a large upfront sum to show them that grease is serious about revenue. it's inviting people to come forward with a down payment

against their tax arrears. it will match that with a discount of equal size. >> we will do our best. we didn't know before all of the figures we know now. our policy from now on needs to focus on putting a stop to the increase of uncollected taxes which grew by an enormous 1.1 billion euros in january. the next step will be to help people who can not pay. >> austerity government did manage to increase tax revenue from easy targets like the sal everyday middle class but experts believe this isn't sustainable. adding to this problem, a social justice agenda. it has promised abolish a roundly hate property tax and restore a tax exemption to the middle class. to provide social spending while cutting taxes, it has to bring growth and pay back. greece's creditors don't believe that it can. al jazeera, athens. >> earlier, we were joined by vicky price, an economist and

former head of the u.k.'s government economic service. now that it seems likely that greece will rake in the euro, i began by asking her what she thought this meant for other countries in within the euro zone. >> assuming everything goes wells for the time being. what will that means, of course there is a lot less pressure on the other countries as there would have been. a greek exit would have been terrible. it's about how you deal with other countries which have gone through an austerity program, too. remember, that all of the others with the exception of cyprus have exited the detailout agreement. ireland and port 2k3w58 which means although they are still under -- they still have obey those rules and so on like every other country in the eurozone, they are no longer under the direct supervision of what they do. they can set their own policies. what greece wants is to get in the position where it can do exactly that. it doesn't make very much

difference in that respect. what it does do though is it still leaves open the question of what to do with the greek debt overall and, therefore, what may happen to the other countries. greek debt, of course 175% of gdp needs to be restructures. it needs longer maturities maybe lower interest rates and write off at the end. the others too, because ireland and portugal have between 120s and 130% ratios. they are unsustainable. if europe doesn't get back to serious growth then those countries are going to have to come back again and ask for some rethink about their own debt. >> on a final note briefly, a lot has been written about the personalities, the greek preissing and wolfgang, the german finance minister not two men who would normally see eye to eye. do you think that dimension matters, the personalities at play when it comes to these nit nitty gritty negotiations?

>> i am not certain the greeks have gone it absolutely the right way in terms of negotiations but remember it was difficult before with new democracy. we have no no, no. and in the end, the germans did what they had to do for the euro eurozone when chancellor merkel played a softer person in these negotiations. personalities matter but they weren't the crucial aspect of this decision. >> we will see how it develops vicky pryce, thank you. a second credit agency has downgraded russia's credit status to junk. mood moody's sites the falling rubal and low oil prices as the reasons behind the re-assessment. the agent see expects the russian economy to go into deep recession and contract by up to 5%. standard & poorz downgraded russia's stat under the circumstances to junk last month.

the moody's downgrade could put further pressure on russia's currency. this has been the big picture. the rubal has been on a downward trajectory because of western sanctions and low oil prices. last december it plunge today an all-time low, 80 rublz to the u.s. dollar. the ceasefire in eastern ukraine and the rides in the price of oil has seen it recover some ground this week but analysts say that that's likely to be short-lived. joining us now is international economist korneil, the center for global energy studies, thank you for joining us here on al jazeera. just about 10 minutes ago, i think it was speaking to corresponds event about the possibility of further sanctions against russia over the ukraine crisis. so, i guess it really is short-lived, the sort of slight boost. what do you think? >> it is short-lived. you know, really the structural i am bam answers, what i find particularly change reserves in

september, russia had $450,000,000,000 ofphon exchange reserves. now they only have 320 billion. we see capital outflows. arusnief will have to pay $20 million of debt back. these are ever dwindling for an exchange reserve. yes, that's not good for the ruble. it's not good for the russian economy. >> it's interesting that moody's and standard & poors gave the same reasons. how do you think this is playing in russia? western agencies? is there anything that putin's government can do about the current situation? >> there is very little that they can do, and, yes, the russians will see this as western agencies but these agencies are not political. these are a bunch of economists crunching numbers. this is just a statement of fact. the economy is in a slump and

putin has missed add trick when oil prices were high and the going was good. he should have diversified the economy more because 70% of exports arefo from oil and gas. 50% of revenue are from oil and gas. so really, he should have put the economy on a broader base with more manufacturing and other things. >> obviously this is will all be music to the ears of western leaders who have been imposing those sanctions to put the squeeze on russia over what they perceive to be actions in ukraine. how much pressure do you think russia is under now and economically. >> under a lot of pressure but what they see, they have $320,000,000,000 of foreign exchange reserves. >> that's quite a bit. and they also have a stabilization fund of about $80,000,000,000, which they can use to even out the budget. and then they have a wealth fund of another billion dollars so otherwise, they have money but,

you know, if you go through your save savings, at some state, you've gone through your savings. >> corneliameyer, independent energy expert and economist thank you for sharing with us. >> thank you. >> in 2002, argentina was thrown into it economist chaos when it failed to pay about $100 million100 about$100 about billion dollars of foreign debt. thousands lost their jobs. some workers decided to take control of failing companies and turn them around. daniel schweimler reports from bone buenas air easy. >> machinery working at full capacity, producing thousands of bottles per day. it's not the same working for yourself as working for others. we have different responsibilities. we are all responsible out of necessity. >> the soft drink on the out

skirt was one of the victims of the economist collapse in 2001, 2002, machinery sold, absent owners no hope until the workers early in 2002 took control. >> we believe in what we are doing or we wouldn't be able to do it. it's a question of faith for us to take the company forward. little by little, we are moving forward. >> schwin employs more than 50 workers and is run by 20 associates. >> all of the workers here have a stake in this enterprise. this is their machinery, their produce, their future. a success story from the ashes of argentina's last economic crisis. when argentina n 2002, defaulted on $100,000,000,000 of foreign debt, thousands of businesses closed. tens of thousands lost their jobs. workers found the factory gates locked. the owners often sold everything

and fled with the money. the workers had little choice but to start from the scratch. now they were in charge. >> we think the human condition is universal. we all have the same needs, the same aspirations. >> when a company closes the workers have the capacity technical and manual to take the enter prides forward. >> there are now 350 cooperative companies or fabricas across argentina, everything from hospitals and schools to newspapers printing works, hotels and factories. 97% of those set up have survived and thrived. what makes a successful cooperative? >> the unity of the workers is that they work together in harmony to achieve all that they have to make the effort to fight against the ego, individualism. there is no place for person a.m. ambition.
