the ceo abdalla abdalla. ashraf ghani has one ask the troop draw down, the american troop levels now at 10,000 as recently they were at 130,000. he wants that 10,000 to stay as it is through 2016 that advise, train and equip role with the countertrornl aspect to it as counterterrorism aspect as well. john kerry the secretary of state was alongside ashraf ghani and here is what he had to say about ghani's request. >> president obama and president ghani have had regular discussions about the transition that's happening in afghanistan.

protesters. united nations envoy has told al jazeera that the leaders have agreed to meet in qatar. as charlie angela reports, the embattled leader is asking for military intervention in gulf countries. >> this is a country on the brink of civil war but the residents of ta'izz are not going quietly as thousands protest. in return they are fired on and tear gassed. their city, yemen's third largest was taken on sunday, with government buildings and its international airport now under houthi control. yemen is increasingly divided between a north controlled by the houthis allegedly backed by iran and a south dominated by support of president abd rabbu mansour hadi. now the country's foreign minister is appealing for help from the gulf cooperation

council to hold back the houthi advance. >> translator: nobody wants to be pulled into direct military action on the ground. the majority of us consider it a final option. however if we felt compelled and the ministers felt it necessary we would without question go ahead with the proposed plan. >> this is what a gcc force could look like. originally set up to respond to member states bahrain qatar saudi arabia and the yawb yawr united arab emirates. adding more might to the fight could force yemen into sectarian war with for powers back opposite sides. peeking in repeekingspeekingspeaking

in re riyadh,. >> we hope the conflict can be resolved peacefully and we are ready to respond to the president's request. >> caught in the middle. each day of fighting deepens the suffering in this country. charlie angela, al jazeera. >> still cooperating on security matters even though u.s. has withdrawn even the special forces that remain. >> true that that coordination would be more effective if there were u.s. personnel in the country. doesn't mean that this coordination has been eliminated but it would be more effective if u.s. personnel were allowed to remain in that country. >> also today the white house dended president obama's statement that yemen is a model for fighting terrorism even

though country appears to be spiraling towards a civil war. the white house said yemen served as a kind of template the u.s. has used and would use to fight al qaeda. let's bring in jim walsh who joins us from watertown massachusetts. jim good to see you. first the u.n. special advisor on yemen warned yemen has been pushed to the edge of civil war. i hate to say it but isn't he overly positive? isn't this already a civil war? >> (laughing) for a while it seemed like yemen was the little engine that could. it hadn't turned into iraq, hadn't turned into syria. in the last six months, year, the thing has really gone in the bad direction. especially with the fighting at the airport and aden and the

other things going on, saudi arabia threatening osend troops i must say doesn't sound good. >> we just got word the united nations is going to hold an emergency meeting on yemen. with the forces the u.s. left there to counter al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, which as you know is the most dangerous arm of al qaeda what does this mean to the u.s. special forces? >> it means we got nothing. the president can say way back when that the u.s. role in yemen was a model. it was a model of counterterrorism which is a very narrow bit of policy. but if you ignore the greater political situation, and your ally is ousted from office and the country descends into

terrorism, then at the end of the day, i would for all these policies, it is the locals to take responsibility for their own behavior. i think the houthis showed restraint but then i think they got tempted. you know everyone likes power and i think that -- >> if we are claiming it was a success -- >> yes. >> it feels like the gang that can't shoot straight. >> i think they got the counterterrorism piece straight but i agree with you that by ignoring or not putting as much emphasis on trying to hold the country together politically we lost all that. my own guess is in saudi arabia, in washington, in iran, all those folks are saying we should have done more than we did. they might not have been successful, they might have dlifn offdrivenhavedriven had off the cliff. but at this point. >> the capability of going after

aqap, how bad can this get? the houthis with iranian support, borders on saudi arabia the saudi arabian foreign ministers have accused iran of an act of aggression, if president hadi calls for them to help that they would help. could we see the saudis getting into a proxy war or maybe not even a proxy war a real war with saudi soldiers in yemen? >> yes, i think we could. there are different ways in which this would be a bad thing. first of all it means another country in addition to libya, in addition to syria, in addition to all these countries that now soon would become civil wars and failed states. instability is bad. it's bad for the u.s., it's bad for region. but you put your finger on something that's even broader. does this now become a pawn in a broader rivalry between not only

saudi arabia and iran generally who have been fighting proxy wars for dploo for years now after the fall of saddam hussein, pitting sunni against shia in the greater middle east? this could be a bad news of feeding this broader regional conflict which no one wants to see. >> jim walsh from mit security studies program thanks. >> days before a deadline agreement for framework for iran nuclear talks, more than 360 machining from both parties, signed a letter to president obama highlighting what they consider grave concerns. days after they sent an open letter to iran's leaders. talk on iran's nuclear program are expected to resume

wednesday. >> president obama comments in the run up to last week's elections netanyahu warned that airbus were flooding to the polls. he was trying to motivate his right wing supporters. the remark was seen as offensive and racist. >> translator: i know my comments last week oned some israeli citizens. this was never my intent. i apologize for this. my actions as prime minister including the significant investment made within our minority communities proves exactly the opposite. >> there would never be a palestinian state while he was prime minister. he remains open to a two state solution. the white house said his his apology was appropriate.

>> angela merkel greeted alexis tsipras today in germ germany. whether anymore any should pay more to greece for nazi atrocity atrocities threatens to bail out talks. >> it's an ethical issue. it's not just with greece. it's to the greek and german people who spilled a lot of blood in order to deal with naziism during that period of time. >> we want greece to be a strong country economically. we want them to have growth. we also want grease greece to come out of this high unemployment. >> merkel said a final agreement circulate not be expected from these talks. >> the way forward for afghanistan. >> as the country's president visits the u.s. a look at the challenges he faces back home. >> meanwhile protests continue over the mob beating death of a mentally ill woman in kabul as police arrest the suspects in

double digit gdp growth. >> but it plummeted to 13% to 3%. the afghan national budgets is estimated at $7 billion a year 40% of the operating budget is funded 50 international community. >> part of afghanistan's economic problems stem from a culture of corruption. last year afghanistan was ranked third worst in the world for corruption. >> earlier today i spoke to mohamed khomi president of san jose state university. >> in the last 14 years the u.s. has made as well as the western countries have made a tremendous investment on afghanistan. but there's still a major development deficit in

afghanistan. i think given all of the sacrifices the young member and women of our military have been as well as the financial contributions that have happened to no country i think it's quite important that we stay the course and keep the focus for not only afghanistan but for the west as a whole. >> there is corruption in the government but there's also corruption in the country. and i know president england is ghani is trying to tackle that there but can he make a big enough impact there? >> i think he can. the last three decades of turmoil and the civil war and the soviet invasions and the taliban era he also recognizes that there is a lot that needs to be done for the country but he surely has the courage of

commitment and trying to hold everybody accountable. >> president ghani wrote in a washington post interview how far off is it that afghanistan is not reliant for u.s. aid? >> i think he is working very diligently and we have to look at countries that have gone through such changes, it takes a long time. but the first element and one of the core is how can he really build the human capital of the country. that's where education specifically higher education is going to be so important. and building human capital that we can give get -- get the economy moving. i think rite now it's very crucial that the u.s. and the west as a whole continue that support. because that support is going to be quite important given all of the investment we have done for afghanistan. >> especially, when you talk

abouting agricultural production, i want to ask you personal question. you were college roommates with president ghani he wasn't president then but at the american university of beirut what do you think is the weakness and strength of the president? circulate i've known him for 47 years. one of the things i've been impressed with him is from an early age he had passion and this consistency of commitment has been at least five decades that i have known. that makes him the strong leernd leader and the right leader in afghanistan. that's why he can move the country forward, he believes in accountability, transparent government, tough pined but fair. he is certainly not sentimental but he has the interest of the

country and the region in his heart and his mind and that's how he's working based on those principles is that have guided him for at least the last five decades that i have known him. >> and his greatest weakness? >> well i think all of us as human beings have weakness but what i would like to do is concentrate on all the strengths that he has and the strengths that he has is how he can really move the country forward as quickly as possible. i think that basically is where he's trying to see how the country moved forward in a short period of time. i think that has been his strength and also you can look at that as a way the country can move forward. despite reports of political division quaomi says, he is work with abdalla abdalla, secretary of state john kerry brokered a deal which makes abdalla chief

executive. 1989 after a decade of occupation. >> more than a dozen men have been arrested following public beating and murder of a female student in kabul. these men are accused of playing a role in the fatal assault of a woman, deb farkunda, she was accused of setting fire to the koran. the accusations against her are completely invalid. he claims she was religious and did not burn the koran. the mob burns of fakunda set off protesters for women's right. more than a dozen police officers who stood by while she was killed have been suspended. >> new hope warring factions in libya could agree on a unity government this week. >> bus mistrust is proving to be a tough obstacle to peace. >> across two countries the

city in central libya is not only powerful within its own borders, its influence extends far beyond. misrata is located to the cease of tripoli, relies on the libyan dawn military lobbies to stay in power. the political power of that alliance sees seized the capital last year. misrata, acquired massive quantities of weapons during the revolution in 2011. ever since misrata just like all of libya's armed forces didn't disarm nor did they unite with other forces. but recently violence has escalated and there seems to be a growing misrepresentation that there is no military solution to this conflict. >> there were some voices who i

considered as extremist to a degree. fortunately there are a lot of people in misrata who recognize that the only way to make peace in libya and to move towards democracy is to have dialogue with all sides. >> reporter: but they also have a red line. the libyan dawn alliance is at war with general haftar's forces who backed the government in the east of the country. misrata and its allies have long accused him of being a terrorist. so far they haven't succeed. >> haftar only makes statements. he said the same thing about benghazi but he hasn't been able to take it. we tell him take benghazi first

>> when ebola was at its worse last year, julius proud was trying to save those he could. and that's whether he caught the disease. >> fortunately i survive it. but working down the community people pointing finger at me, oh he is the one who came down with the virus he is the one who people see die and least the one, i mean, it becomes somehow discouraging and worrisome. >> even colleagues who showed notice symptoms were made to feel isolated. despite the stigma proud is back at work. he's beat the virus and says it's now time to beat the misinformation about the disease. that's what liberia's government wants to do as well. in a few weeks the world health organization had hoped to declare the nation ebola free.

that is not going to happen because of a new case discovered days ago. it's left people worried. >> very, very discouraged our children for the time of delay about their education and to hear that as a new outbreak of ebola is very very discouraging. and i'm feeling very bad about that. >> ebola has spread at an aggressive pace, crippling daily life. all schools were closed for six months. and in one year the disease has crisscrossed borders killing more than 10,000 people across west africa. experts have traced the source here in guinea, this is the place where it is believed bats infected a toddler. the countries infected hope the

200 demonstrators marched to the mexican consulate in los angeles to raise awareness about the students' disappearance. though in the convoy are hoping to draw support from mexican americans. hopefully to blame for the violence in mexico. >> we believe that the u.s. government is responsible in part responsible for the situation of violence in mexico because of the support and all the weapons that the government has sent over to mexico. but those weapons have been sent to police officers and the army. and those are the weapons that the police officers and the army used to kill people in mexico. >> some people in which care van feel they will be putting their lives at risk by speaking out against the government but it is
