journalist thank you for coming in that news broke in the last hour or so yes, of course, as soon as the announcement has been made, everybody turns into social media to express i managed to call the family, and basically they were dancing and crying out of joy i think any sort of -- any sort of referendum at the moment or crease fair, something that everybody is looking for would bit fair to say that most yemen tonight whatever their political affiliation, is pleased that the bombing is to stop. >> yes you can say that it's been really horrible for the entire country what has been happening, yemen has been

basically away from everyone. it was with no flag, no electricity, no water bombing no food supply so people were reallying suffering now they have said that they have stopped but at the same time, they said that there might re might >> night not be a cease fire, this has confused the public, because that's what they are looking for is a cease fire and stopping the bombing at the same time, there's still street fights in adan, and so as well -- how are these going to stop, and whatever was said tonight, or few hours ago was vague, so peep want to know what are the steps that are going to be taken especially with the whole few hope campaign. this is ba we are looking forward to the speech, which supposedly is going to be in an hour or maybe less, and we

will see what he has to say and how they will start building or start with the hope campaign and the damage that has already been been done inside the country. >> >> we have a lot of family over there, and it's been very hard. they've been trapped inside their houses. no electricity no water. very hard to get food. whoever tries to flee, they were on boats, they have to pay huge sums of money as bribery to get into boats and flee. others cannot really afford even to pay $100 to $150 just to get on a boat.

it's been very difficult. now the saudi cease-fire may not be great news in aden who are suffering from street battles with the houthis. this is very confusing at the moment and we really seek answers. they need help with their families we have not heard from the houthi side. are they going to stop? was there a deal between saudis and houthis ali abdullah saleh. no answers have been given to the public, and they want to know what it means. >> they've called it operation

hope. how do you get humanitarian humanitarian help to those who need it, yet the saudis don't particularly want to put boots on the ground. they certainly have no intention of launching a ground invasion. >> they have to look at the the ties. doctors, humanitarian organizations, think find it very hard. even though they've gotten aid into the country they've found it hard to transport around. of course, if they stop the cease-fire, if the cease-fire continues, that will be good. they have an opportunity to move around but you can never tell the other side, what's going to

happen on the ground. at the moment the houthis are on the ground. ali abdullah saleh the ex-president, his allies are on the ground, and it's difficult to know if it will go smoothly. >> all along there it has been said there needs to be a diplomatic solution. he has been appointed by president baha, and he's far more popular among a broad range of people in yemen. >> there are many people who are actually hoping for this and saying that it's time to step down. but at the same time the cards

have been burned so it's difficult. is baha going to step up and take the presidency and work with the very fragile. are they going to find the political alliances? he is very popular and liked by many groups. not like hady. hadi had very few supporters, really on the ground, sort of speaking because of the difficult situation within the few years that he was in control. >> it's been very interesting talking with you. thank you for come together studio. can you describe what it's like inside sanaa the capital

tonight? >> well surprisingly it's been calm over the last two hours. a lot of people are associating this with the spokesperson announcing the end of the operation. people have not been listening to the details. there is not going to be a cease-fire they'll still continue. the war in the south will still continue. over the next few hours people will understand that reality and become very skeptical. >> they don't believe the whole operation is over. and, indeed, the saudi-led coalition spokesman said that they would still reserve f you like the right to target the movement of the houthis. do you think its likely that the houthis main capability that military capability the scud

missiles, do you think those have actually been taken out by the saudi-led airstrikes or not? >> we took a major hit however the houthis were quick to go in to the next 20 minutes to announce their victory. a lot of people don't believe they'll call for t but the houthis will try to capitalize on what they said, and use it as some sort of victory. which is not really a good sign. because this means that the houthis will never back down. they're still going push south in other locations which again means that the coalition in return will strike the movements of the houthis across the south which means a continuation of

the war. it is just another phase of the war. it is certainly not the cease-fire. >> so no real cause of celebration. >> not really. that's what i said earlier. a lot of people celebrated the moment they said there was the end of the decisive storm. restoring hope. so they didn't pay much of the details that, in fact, there is cease-fire. now when they come back to the news channels they realize there is in cease-fire. when they see celebration with the victory over saudis, and when they continue pushing south people will realize that this war basically just moved into its second phase. >> the saudis were very keen to stress that the reason they stopped the bombing campaign was at the request of president hadi. do people feel they are not hearing from their president.

what are they expecting to heal from their president? >> well, since the on set of the coalition a lot of people wanted to take to the podium. not some coalition spokesperson. since this coalition operation was at the request of the rethen any government. people were yearning for yemeni space to come and address his people. he did it. right now they had lost a lot of credibility. people aredowning for him to go to the podium, basically pass power to somebody else, not him. he lost a lot of credibility and coming back to leave yemen is going to lead to much bigger disasters because he is seen as weak. he's seen as one who cannot take initiative or control with yemen. to be honest with you the chatter is basically we're expecting hadi to now resign in

this coming speech to, pass to another government that could probably be much stronger, be more decisive be more forceful and lead yemen out of this abyss. >> how important is it that that government be led--in that government there is that houthi representation. >> it is very important. they tried to anile light the houthis, which is not possible. it is not realistic. they are a faction of the nation. they are part of the fabric of this nation. you cannot eliminate or margin marginalize them. we've had six wars and each time they come back stronger and with deeper grievances. if we do it again now we're just

asking for another war down the road. we need to address the grievance grievances. we cannot forget the south in this equation. all of those need to be brought to the table. >> really appreciate your time this evening. joining us there from the yemeni capital of san in a. thank you for your time. of course, the saudi have representatives at the u.n. any reaction at the u.n. james? >> no direct reaction that has been announceed by saudi arabia in the last couple of hours.

and some of those that were speaking spoke with the situation in yemen. among those are the jordanian foreign minute. he's been presiding over some of the debate taking place in the security council. he was speaking about yemen briefly. and i asked him about yemen when he came to speak to reporters. he made it clear that it's quite an important moment in the timeline of diplomacy of yemen. that's because last week the u.n. security council went without resolution. they voted in favor of that resolution 22-16 now in that resolution which demanded that the houthis pull back from all the territory that they have taken, including the capital of sanaa, it's said that every ten days there needs to be an update from the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon.

it will probably happen on monday and they will call an update meeting with the u.n. security council on an update of completion. remember, ban ki-moon no longer than an adviser on yemen. he had resigned from his job. certainly been can i moon won't be able to condemn saudi bombardment at that time, but i think he'll still be condemning the outies and their ongoing occupation of large parts of the country. >> just coming in to us on the

wire services. the news that iran welcomes an end to the airstrikes in yemen. of course, no direct involvement in the chaos in. >> iran seen as a supporter of the houthis. worth pointing out. you have that iranian reaction to what has been announced to saudi arabia. worth pointing out before the saudi announcement that there had been comments coming from the deputy foreign minister in iran to expect a cease-fire in yemen. that's not what the saudis have announced, what has been suggested to me, there is no proof of this, but it suggests to me there had been some

coordination behind the scenes. one theory in the past couple of hours perhaps there are pieces being put in place where new dealershippic initiatives and exactly who will be leading that that. >> the fact that they're welcoming this, and the fact that iranians predicted something perhaps there is nor coordination behind the scenes, and a more diplomat be effort to bring everyone around the table. >> james i know you'll continue to keep monitoring the reaction from the united nations. thank you very much indeed. let's briefly move on to other news.

troops say they're now in control of the ramadi children's hospital which was captured by isis. at least 11 people have been killed by the car bomb in somali's capital and several others have been seriously injure: a vehicle is ran into a busy mogadishu area. 20 people were killed in that attack. somali armed groups have brought further attacks in kenya. killing 148 people at garissa university earlier this month. we have more from this town.

>> on patrol between kenya and somalia. part of an international effort to build somalia from the grassroots up. they're on the lookout for groups of smugglers and armed groups that cross back and forth between kenya and somalia undetected. >> the border is long. it's 700 kilometers long. we cannot control it on foot. we lack vehicles. we try our best to cover all the smuggling routes. >> over the years the group lost control of the town. this men say they're trying to shun the image of their town being a route for for

al-shabab. >> i was arrested while buying food. i was in charge of logistics. i also used to conduct role calls for the fighting of uniforms. i was recruited into al-shabab by a relative. once in i had no way of backing out as anyone who tried to escape was killed. the camp is under the command of 9 man kenya said backed garissa in which al-shabab gunmen killed 148 people. >> it's a huge camp. there are about 300 fighters. almost all of the activities of the camp are geared towards carrying out attacks in yes and no. >> realso met two youth arrested while on their way to join al-shabab.

>> we had run out of phones and decided to go on fight once we he entered somalia. >> now the troops have modest gains. they say they will need more support to effecttively patrol the border and protect its territory from lawless somalia. >> one of the last surviving men who worked at the auschwitz concentration camp said that he feels guilt about his past.

from berlin dominic kane reports. >> he entered the courtroom a frail old man with a dark past. in his youth oscar worked as a clerk for the ss death camp. on tuesday that past caught up with him. he was accused of being accessory to the murders of 300,000 people between the spring and summer of 1944. he acknowledged his moral guilt but said it was for the judges to decide whether he should be convicted. auschwitz was the thought 1,100,000 people, the vast majority jews but also others, were exterminated at the camp during the four and a half years

of its existence. oscar was at the camp between 1942 and 1944. his role was to deal with the collection and sourcing of the belongings of those who were murdered. he had particular responsibility for the foreign currencies that were found among the possessions. one of the jewish children who survived being experimented on by ss doctors at auschwitz was in court to hear oscar. ava's parents and elder sisters died at auschwitz. ava spoke about what seeing grening on trial meant for her. >> it did a lot of mentally and emotionally. i think in one respect the man who was functioning at that

level, he's doing very best. it's a very long day. >> in previous interviews ten years ago he chose to speak about his time in auschwitz and opposed who said that the exterminations never happened. now at his trial he accepts his own moral guilt. dominic kane al jazeera. berlin. >> in argentina they have thrown out the case against president kitchener. kishner. the court ruled that no crime had been committed. in buenos aires with more on what this court decision means. >> this is the third time that the accusations that the

government that christina kishner was trying to cover iranian involvement in the bomb attack in buenos aires. they said there is no case to answer. there was no crime involved in this although i think this is the end of the case legally it's still not the end of the case politically. argentina is still very much split down the middle, those who believe there was a case, and those supporters of the government who believe it was all a plot to try to destabilize and besmirch the government's name. there is still a case outstanding that is how mr. nisman died. he was due to testify a by in front of a hearing. there are knows who believe he

committed suicide in general. and there are those who believe that somebody loyal to the government had him killed so he could not continue with that testimony. this is an election year in argentina. one part of his case has now been put to rest legally. politically it's still alive. the country is split down the middle. >> now engineers in japan have broken the speed record for the second time in a week. they did it with a high speed train that floats in the air. >> japan's sprain, 603 kilometers an hour. >> this train is set up the same way as will be used specially. the high speed has been proved be and this should lead to a stable use in the future. the. >> test is part an ambitious

plan to build a $700 billion high speed line. if completed as planned the 280 kilometers could be traveled in 40 minutes. >> when they travel as 500 kilometers an hour they do make a lot of noise. so by having them underground we're talking 14 meters underground. once you're underground you don't have to worry about navigating around corners because you can effectively draw a track point to point almost in a straight line. >> when you play with magnates you know that opposite poles detract and attract and same poles repel. there is little freak and this will make for a smooth ride and potentially very fast. japan is having to sell its

high-speed train technology to the u.s. it's is an attempt to recover research and development cost and in response to china's efforts to sell high train speed technology which originally came from japan. >> they may be slidely in the lead on that technology and maybe slightly superior. i think this is where japan thinks this could be pushing forward and have an advantage over other countries. >> but many believe its expensive, power intensive and potentially unsafe. it could be knocked off its lines and at a high speed it could have a damagic effect. but japanese say that an early warning system would deal with

this and improve the efficiency of the new generation of trains. >> joining me for more news in a couple of minutes.

>> saudi arabia said that it's campaign against yemen houthi are over because their military objective have been achieved. >> now they've launched a new price. you're watching al jazeera live from london. also coming up up the tap tan of a capsized trip in which 800 migrants died is arrested on his arrival in italy. egypt's
