record floyd mayweather wins the richest fight in boxing history. developments in yemen to tell you about sources in the port city of aden told al jazeera that arab special forces are there assisting fighters loyal to adou rabbo mansour hadi. these are exclusive pictures are what is said to be those ground troops. pro hadi officials say fort special forces have landed, calling it a reconnaissance mission. however, saudi arabia has denied that its troops entered aden and now a spokesman for yemen's southern popular resistance said fighters battling houthis around aden airport are all yemenese and are not arab special forces. >> i assure you if troops were brought into aden from the sea we would have confirmed it through the daily briefing as was the practice during the

operation resolve storm. all operations are open. the coalition will not spare effort backing the resistance and achieve positive outcomes on the ground. i reiterate today no troop landings were made into yemen. >> that was a saudi spokesman speaking there. al jazeera arabic correspondent is on the ground in aden and he's managed to send in this exclusive report. >> we are now close to aden international airport where fighting is raging between the popular resistance and the houthi forces. we can see smoke which seems to be the result of an air strike by the coalition forces. there are popular resistance fighters who are shelling the facility every now and then as the houthis are stationed

inside. it is a decisive battle and will have significant outcome. there again smoke as a result of shelling the positions of the houthi militia and forces loyal to the ousted president saleh inside the airport. it is a crucial battle and the victorious side will shape the future of fighting in the coming days. >> other correspondent in riyadh talk me through the language that the saudis have used. you were telling us it's quite specific in what is happening now as to what possibly could be coming. >> if we take his words the spokesman of the coalition if we take his words to mean what they mean, he basically said no, saudi arabia hasn't sent, the

coalition hasn't sent troops to the ground, but reading between the lines and looking at some of the expressions he used during the conversation with al jazeera earlier on, he said that i can confirm that today we haven't landed any troops in aden and he used that word today a couple of times during the interview. he also said in the interview that we don't reveal information about an operation that is going on or an operation that is going to happen. these two expressions caught my attention and it is as if the coalition doesn't want to reveal something else that there is probably something going on but they don't want to talk about it. it might be an extensive ground operation that is going to continue until it reaches the goals of expelling the houthis from where they are and depending on that also and because of that, saudi arabia and its coalition allies don't want to be seen as going there and probably leaving before achieving that goal, so if we

read between the lines it could be something very limited if it is really true, it could be something very limited and for the sake of helping the resistance there the forces loyal to president hadi, at least expel the houthis and saleh loyalists from aden. >> is inevitable that troops would go in, muhammed, just when you think how long the battle's been going on already the type we have already seen, is ground troops the next logical step? >> well, i can confirm that from all indications we noticed that saudi arabia and coalition allies didn't want, don't want and tried to avoid sending troops to yemen and they also never engaged never really have given that promise. they said women do it when it is necessary. also from the interviews of yemeni officials and also the saudi officials they seemed sure that the airstrikes would

basically achieve the goal of destroying the houthi military and defense exhibits and also forcing them to either leave the areas they occupied or come to the negotiation table for a resolution. however, after more than a month of airstrikes, we can see that the houthis are basically still practically still aware. they are and they haven't left the cities and they haven't come to the negotiation tail. they haven't complied to the u.n. resolutions and now the coalition is probably looking into alternatives, but it's not -- it's clear from the words of the military spokesman that they don't want right now to engage into an open and extensive ground operation. what's going on in aden if really there are forces there it is limited number for a specific goal and they don't want to seem to have launched the ground invasion without achieving the goals or being later forced to retreat and that

would look like a retreat. >> with us in the studio, lecturer at the department of kings college enlondon. we're going to roll pictures and show them to our viewers, as well here of these troops, exclusive pictures that have come in from al jazeera of these troops. it could be anything. we've slowed the pictures down to look at the weapons. it looks like pretty sophisticated stuff to me. what do you think? >> it's typically anti tank weapon probably a traveling type so typical of light infantry. if we are talk about number, we are talk about 20 troops on the ground special operation forces that's the kind of weapons that these kind of forces would definitely use. >> ok. let me pick up on a point about the in evidentability of troops or otherwise coming in.

>> right. >> in your opinion, is it inevitable or is this a different sort of battle, that sort of power struggle with the different groups on the ground in there? >> i think the whole thing is about tipping the balance of power on the ground, and i think we shouldn't expect a major ground offensive because that would require a lot of troops and would be costly. what we are witnessing right now is probably as we've witnessed in the last 20 years in every conflict is the deployment of special troops and forces, troops specifically trained to deal with that kind of environment, so they could be years with people on the ground, they could help them to do some attack or they do recon and intelligence. >> if we've learned anything from recent middle east conflict, if you go in on the ground anywhere, there's got to be a plan to deal with separatism with the aftermath all these sorts of things,

because that is arguably more important in the end. >> that is why the grand offensive would not be the-wisest strategy, because you alienate the people on the ground. what we are looking at is creating a situation where you degrade the exhibits of houthis so that at one point they set up a compromise and we can open peace talks and find a solution. because at the end of the day that's what you want. you just want a political solution. >> good to talk to you again thank you. >> the united nation said the syrian government must stop bombing and shelling the yarmouk refugee camp of palestinians. the camp was bombed overnight on friday. thousands were forced to leave the camp after armed groups entered it a month ago. we have this report. >> the united nations wants this to stop. the syrian government has been bombarding the yarmouk camp as part of an ongoing military operation. the camp is home to thousands of

palestinians. since 2012, they've been under siege by government forces, but in recent weeks, they have been under attack. >> i am a resident of yarmouk. we are sitting in our homes with our children with missiles, barrel bombs landed around us. look around you. they hit civilians and children. we are paying the price. there are no armed fighters here. where is the united nations? >> the camp turned into an urban battleground when fighters belonging to the islamic state of iraq and the levant entered yarmouk a few weeks ago. most of them have withdrawn after fierce fighting with other rebel groups. despite this, the syrian army hasn't stopped its military operation. the united nations is worried about the safety of the civilians inside. the secretary general in a statement issued by his spokesperson said that thousands of civilians in the camp are besieged by terrorists and armed groups on the inside and the

government forces on the outside. he called on the syrian government to immediately end any military operation that could endanger the lives of civilians and urged all parties to stop the violence so as to grant secure and sustained humanitarian access to civilians inside the camp. the people have relied on handouts over the past years to survive. many have died from malnutrition. since the fighting, the united nations say the situation and hardship have worsened. the united nations security council demanded all parties allow humanitarian aid to reach without obstruction and the palestinian liberation organization the p.l.o. is sending a delegation to damascus. the organization wants to find alternatives to a military solution to relieve the suffering of syrian's palestinians. the damascus government wanted some palestinian armed groups to

conduct operations with its forces to expel opposition groups from yarmouk. the p.l.o. doesn't want to be drawn into the conflict. the government is unlikely to stop its offensive. yarmouk is at the door steps of the center of the government's seat of power. al jazeera. june at least 13 people have been killed in two explosions in the iraqi capitol baghdad. those bombs went off just minutes apart in a popular commercial area. the first was a suicide car bomb that designated near cafes. the second bomb struck in the same neighborhood. baghdad has witnessed a spike in bombing in the past week. >> in nepal a 100-year-old man has been pulled alive from the rubble. the only international airport has stopped accepting large jets because of a backlog of aid flights. there is growing concern that badly needed supplies is not

reaching the in terrier of the country. 1,417,000 people are known to have died and more than 14,000 injured. >> coming up on al jazeera asylum seekers in south africa refuse to leave their camp despite assurances of safety from the police.

identities of hundreds of women are unknown. there are babies born if the forest where they were found. the government isn't that releasing much information about the rescue. ato say cities will be documented. the world really started to pay attention to this part of northeast nigeria a year ago. that's when boko haram kidnapped more than 200 school girls but the group could have kidnapped 10 times that number of women in the last year alone. this group was freed this week. >> in their present state it would be unfair to put too much pressure or demand on them to get such information. >> many are still too

traumatized to speak. they aren't saying if they are the 200 kidnapped girls. other soldiers say some women were armed and shot at their rescuers and that others were killed in the battle. for campaigners the lack of information from one of the largest armies in africa is astonishing. >> who are those people? we didn't even though they were abducted. it shouldn't be the case, because every nigerian should have a name, right now, they are nameless and faceless. the government and military, they can do more than we just heard on twitter. >> families in the northeast raise the alarm many times in the past, young girls have been going missing not just for months but for years. boko haram had an area larger than belgium under siege. this region is fertile
