5:02 pm
saudi saudi-led coalition launched new strikes in yemen. leaflets have been dropped to warn residents to evacuate before new bombing gets under way. >> during talks of the u.s. secretary of state in paris. >> the cease-fire will begin this tuesday may 12th, and will last for five days. >> there will be no bombing no shooting, no movement of their troops or maneuvering to
5:03 pm
reposition their advantage. no movement of heavy weapons or others the cease-fire is conditioned on the houthis agreeing to live by these commitments. and it is a renewable commitment. in other words, if they live by it, if this holds it opens the door to possibility of extension and the possibility of longer period of time for the political process to help resolve these differences. >> mohammed vall is live for us from riyadh. how difficult will it be to for houthis to join this cease-fire. >> the fighting has intensified across yemen today in several areas there and also in response to leaflets that were dropped today by coalition in
5:04 pm
the north of yemen particularly the area of sadaa the stronghold of the houthis. the coalition asked them to leave that area because it is now going to be intensely targeted by the airstrikes the response under houthi channel was that the civilians have refused to leave and instead of leaving or fleeing they said they would go, according again they say they will fight the saudis on their own soil. reports that the houthis have blocked roads and have refused and denied civilians with the possibility or access to leave the city. this--all of this is an indication of the houthis are not responding. they have not officially also commented since yesterday on the initial offer by saudi arabia to give that five-day truce nor did
5:05 pm
they comment on today's statements. the date of the truce has been decided. instead, in saudi arabia, two incidents that we would like to mention, here in riyadh a police commander has been killed by unknown gunmen. they were attacks and killed the police commander. the authorities here have seized 30 kilograms of military-grade explosives and bomb material coming from behind, and they are now opening an investigation. in coordination with the authorities behind to look after this and know who the perpetrators are behind this. there is a sizable pro-iran shia community like--that is the state of alert in saudi arabia.
5:06 pm
instead of an air of peace which the saudis would like to see taking place we have alerts and we have a situation of war. we have on the border the saudis amazing their troops continuing to prepare for any eventually attack by the houthis. >> mohammed vall live for us in riyadh. thanks mohammed. >> i asked just how difficult it will be to evacuate civilians before sadaa is attacked. >> we aren't sure of the number of civilians are there. of especially those who have not been able to have the means of transportation.
5:07 pm
this is an extremely concerning situation and for us the concern is not only the high number of casualties that may result in the bombing on civilians and even structures like hospitals but also situation can create, and the huge humanitarian catastrophe. >> you have five people currently working in the hospital. will they say even if there are renewed bombing campaigns in sadaa? >> yes, of course, they are
5:08 pm
5:09 pm
>> a long time before recovered from these crisis. >> meanwhile, thousands have taken to the streets of tehran to protest against the saudi attract in yemen. they waved placards as they showed their solidarity with the yemeni people. they're seen as the main supporters in yemen and have repeatedly called for halts in saudi airstrikes. now the pundits thought that the british politicians would be arguing over a new coalition government, but david cameron's conservatives have pulled off a surprise victory and improved their share of the votes. the leaders of the other main parties were forced to resign, but with cameron is facing years
5:10 pm
of battle to deliver his campaign promises. laurence lee continues. >> david cameron still in downing street and still prime minister. his conservative party confounded every similar one of the polls and what a small majority. that allows him to tell the queen he can now form a government. an election that was supposed to involve weeks of negotiations ended up over by lunchtime. as i said in the small hours of this morning we will governor as a party of one nation, one united kingdom. that means insuring this recovery reaches all parts of our country from north to south from east to west. >> it was primarily a disaster for the main labor opposition. failure to gain english seats from the near wipe out in scotland. the labour party now faces
5:11 pm
another search for a new identity and a new leader, too. >> britain needs a strong labour party. britain needs a labour party that can rebuild after this defeat. and now it's time for someone else to take forward the leadership of this party. >> the liberal democrats wounded by their presence in coalition governments. it's leader, he too resigned as leader. the u.k. independent party would break through. they got a lot of photos but only one seat. >> i know they're used to party leaders making endless promises that they don't actually keep. but i'm a man of my word, so i should writing to the.
5:12 pm
>> they have effect lively neutralized all their political threats in parliament. >> the only bit of this the prediction of scotland. the scottish nationalists swept before them winning all but three seats ripping the heart out of labor's stronghold. all the talk at westminster is that the prize willing full control over their finances as conservatives try to stop another push for independence from the u.k. so the british political map has new political fault lines. new lines are replacing old
5:13 pm
ones. cameron said he would like to forge one nation, but with england's right wing politics and scotland the opposite,. >> outside of the houses of parliament barbara cameron no longer has to worry about pleasing co-his partners but how tough is the road likely to be before him? >> well, you know, felicity the great irony is that he had a much stronger coalition, a much stronger majority because he had many more seats than the 326 needed. right now he has 330. actually it does not take that many vinture toss change their mind or decide not to back him. for him to lose that majority, that is certainly that they'll have to bear in mind. there is no talk for conservatives forming any or
5:14 pm
formal coalitions with any of the other smaller parties but on a case by case basis they may have to form alliances. that's certainly something that people will keep an eye out on for the next few years because it really is a waver thin majority when you compare to tony blair when he came in 1997 where he had the majority of more than 170 seats. even then when he won the election of 2001 he had a majority of 160. the handful of mps that form david cameron's majority do perhaps seem a bit of a worry. >> and everyone thought the issues of scottish independence from the united kingdom, they thought that was settled last year with the referendum that the u.k. held, but that is not the case. >> well certainly the whole scottish issue has been fascinating. it is one thing that the continue polls got absolutely right as we're hearing in the
5:15 pm
reports. 56 out of 59 seats for the scottish and national party. now it's quite interesting it's not going to be so much about another referendum. but when they said that they will make sure that now that they're the biggest party make sure that the u.k. keeps its promises that were made to scotland when of course it tried to convince the scots not to vote for separation when they had the referendum a few months ago. an additional problem is the referendum that david cameron promised about the e.u. to stay in or come out of the e.u. whereas in england there may be more skeptics. scotland has been very pro e.u. you might have the slightly odd situation where the u.k. might vote to come out of the e.u. but scotland would want to stay.
5:16 pm
let's put it this way felicity, this election or perhaps the results have not been as exciting or complicating as many of us thought it would be. over the next months and years might make up for that. >> thank you. >> the relationship between cameron's conservatives and the european yearn has been tortured for many years. and that promise to hold out an referendum is set to cause more tension. he promised that the vote would happen by 2017 saying he wants to negotiate a better deal for the u.k. in europe and put that to the british people. so what exactly does he want to achieve? well immigration was key election. cameron wants european migrants to work for four years in the u.k. before they get access to certain welfare benefits. he wants to be able to deport any migrant who habit found work in the u.k. after six months.
5:17 pm
>> critics say that infringes freedom of movement, something that is guaranteed by the treaty. changing this would immediate all 28 countries to agree. so is cameron's ambitious timetable workable? on monday they conceded that change is possible but there are limits to europe's good will. >> britain is not in a situation to impose its agenda to all the other members of europe this is basic principle of the european union laid down in the treaties so the british kindly invited to present us a list of their request we'll take this under examine and we bring attention and then we'll.
5:18 pm
>> see. >> more implications for europe with that u.k. referendum we're joined by glen zimmerman. he joins us from frank further. thank you for your time. can i ask you broadly how can the rest of europe feel about the possibility that the u.k. could end up leaving the european union? >> yes i think we have a certain fear that the u.k. might leave the european union because it is a vital part of the european union and it is important to us in germany that we have our friends in the u.k. balancing out other relations with other european countries. i can only speak from the german perspective, and we have a certain fear of that referendum because as we've seen in
5:19 pm
scotland it's unpredictable the outcome of the referendum. >> well, david cameron is hoping to renegotiate parts of the u.k. treaty with the e.u. because he believes also that that will help him convince the british public to stay within europe. but will concessions be made and how far will the e.u. go? >> a treaty change is not on the table. but most important the most important thing as was said cameron has to say what he really wants to negotiate on. we have that issue of the referendum for many, many months on the table. but david cameron never really said to the european partners what he wants to negotiate. that would be the first step. nevertheless, i can't imagine there will be a treaty change
5:20 pm
with all the 28 member states. >> i mean, we know broadly what he's talking about when he's talking about renegotiating with europe. he said that he wants european migrants to work for four years in the u.k. before getting access to certain welfare benefits here. he wants to be able to deport migrants who have found work within six months. is there a possibility that europe would be prepared to look at that, or will that be too much of a change. >> europe will look on it, but we also have a case of the european court on these issues, which is pending. so we will look into everything, but in the end i mean, there needs to be a certain commitment from the british side as well, and now the elections are over, and i think we need to talk open and i think the time is
5:21 pm
over to gamble and in the end the u.k. has to make a decision, if it will stay with the european union or not. >> what do you foresee in the year or 18 months add before before 2017? how do you see the debate going? there will an huge debate held in the u.k. because let's be clear, david cameron despite some members of his conservative party, david cameron doesn't want to leave europe. he just wants a better deal for europe. what are the debates going to be like, for example of germany will be unlikely to give concessions. >> we have certain principles within the european union and many of my colleagues are very
5:22 pm
reluctant to start over again and again and again to renegotiate with the u.k. on these principles because the are impression in germany as germany being part of the european union, and for example, we have right now--we're talking about immigration. germany is by far the largest country giving shelter to refugees from from the near east and the u.k. didn't helping on that issue at all. it is a difficult discussion in germany because the people in germany don't really understand. >> good to get your point of view. thank you so much for joining us on al jazeera. >> thank you. >> still to come on the program ambassadors from norway and the

hundreds of people trapped inside. the italian navy has released these images. it won't release the footage of the many dead but all crucial in the investigation in what happened on april 18th. >> we have found many bodies. it's impossible to say how many. the majority are inside the bottom part of the boat, but it does add up to what the survivors have told us, that there were around 800 people on the boat. >> only 28 people survived the accident. two of them are in custody. a tunisian man is alleged to be the captain and a syrian who is believed to have helped him. a boatthe boat collided with the vessel that came to rescue them and in panic capsized. >> some of the navy ships involved in that search are now return to go port. investigators are scrutinizing that wreck. one of the key questions is whether some of the migrants

egypt in the last 30 years this is no surprise at all. >> he has not been arrested. >> it's very interesting and because of his status they can't do that at the moment. they're testing the waters. if enemy don't react and for example, there are going to be demonstrations already. they're testing the waters and if the reaction is not a loud they will follow up with an arrest. but we understand that they'll try the case in court and then they'll try to put more action on it. but right now they're not going to put in an arrest or anything because it would push it back and there would be outrage on the streets.
