it is interesting progress. at the beginning, didn't have loyalty of one military brigade. now, the report suggests he has almost tep loyal to him. there is a big problem to him because hadi doesn't have a defense minister an army chief of staff on the ground. there is no centralized leadership for this group. ebb if the whole army of yemen is loyal to him, they need a central command. we have to wait and see how he is going to make use of this progress. >> there has been the issue of what al-qaeda in the arabian peninsula has been up to. they were in control of it seemed an air base in the area. tell us about the sig i was inniv cancer and how they fit in to the issue of the conflict then. >> al-qaeda is there, but al-qaeda doesn't have a contiguous territory in the area. they have this hit-and-run situation. they are being chased even by
