despite falling unemployment elsewhere. >> after weeks of bombing saudi arabia said that it will implement a five-day cease-fire on tuesday providing houthi fighters agree to top the fighting. in retaliation for rebel attacks on saudi villages the flips have dropped warning to evacuate before the bombing campaign gets under way. the cease-fire deadline was announced during talks during the second of state in paris. >> the cease-fire will begin this tuesday may 12th, and 11:00 p.m. and will last for five days and is suspect to renewal if it works out. the requirements are first and

foremost that there is a commitment by the houthis and their allies including ali abdullah saleh and those forces loyal to him to abide by the cease-fire. >> providing that the houthi agree that there will be no bombing, no shooting, no movement of their troops or maneuverings to pre-position for military advantage no movement of heavy weapons or others. that the cease-fire is continued on 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 has this update from the saudi capital of

riyadh. >> the fighting has intensified in aden, and several areas there, and also in response to the leaflets that were brought today by coalition in the north of. they have asked the civilians to leave that area because it is now going to be intensity targeted by the airstrikes. the response we got under houthi channel was that the civilians have refused to leave and instead of leaving or fleeing they said they would go according again to al jazeera. they would go to the saudi border to fight the saudis on their own soil. also reports there that the houthis have blocked roads and refused and denied the civilians the possibility of access to leave the city. all of this is an indication

that the houthis are not responding. they have not officially commented since yesterday on the initial offer by saudi arabia to give the five-day truce. nor did they comment on today's statements, that the truce--the date of the truce has been decided. >> meanwhile thousands have taken to the streets of tehran to protest against the saudi-led airstrikes in yemen. the protesters chanted slogans and waved placards as they showed their solidarity with the yemeni people. >> britain's politicians are spend the week arming the new

coalition governments. prime minister david cameron candidates have pulled off election and improveed their majority share. within the majority, cameron is facing years of hard-fought battles to deliver on his election promises. laurence lee reports. >> david cameron still in downing street and still prime minister. his conservative party confounding every single one of the polls and won a small majority that allowed him to tell the queen that he can now form a government. the election that was supposed to involve weeks of coalition negotiations ended up over by lunch time. >> 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. [applause] >> it was primarily a disaster for the main labor opposition and it's leader. failure to gain english streets and a near wipe out in scotland. the labour party now searches for a new identity and a new leader too. >> britain needs a strong labour party. britain needs a labour party that can stand up for working people again. now it's time for someone to take over the leadership of this party. >> theleaders resigned and the u.k. independent party break through. they got a lot of votes but only one seat. it's leader failed to get elected, and so he became the third party leader to go. >> i know that you in the media are used to party leaders making

endless promises but they don't actually keep. but i'm a man of my word. i don't break my word. so i shall be writeing to the u.k. ukip national party and i will be standing down as leader of ukip. >> not only do they have a mandate they have effectively neutralized all threats that means months if not years of regrouping and for the party they even have one mp and most people in the streets would not recognize him. >> the scottish nationalists swept all before them winning all but three streets ripping the heart out of labor's traditional stronghold. the talk at westminster is the

prize is full control over their finances as the conservatives try to stop another push for independence from the u.k. so the british political map has new fault lines. david cameron wants to forge one nation. laurence lee al jazeera, london. >> well, the relationship between cameron's conservatives and the europe piano union has been a tortured one for many years, a promise to hold that in the referendum is said to cause more tension. he has promised that vote will happen by 2017. they also negotiate a better deal for the u.k. in europe and put that to the british people. what exactly does he want to achieve? well immigration was a key theme. he worked for four years in the

u.k. before getting u.k. benefits. he wants to be able to deport any immigrant that doesn't find work withi six months. some criticize that this infringes freedom of movement, something guaranteed by the treaty. changing this would need all 28 countries to agree. is cameron's timetable work workable? some say there are limits to britain's good will. >> britain is not in a situation to impose its agenda on all the other member states of europe. i'm a strong believeer of freedom of movement of workers. this is important in the european union. the british are kindly invited

to bring a list of their requests. we'll give it attention and then we'll see. >> well, for more now the thorny issue that has plagued conservatives for many years because as we know there are more right-winged conservatives who think that the u.k. should come out of europe. how easy is this going to be for cameron to negotiate some sort of concessions that is going to satisfy all those people who are in the u.k. who actually don't believe that the u.k. should be part of the e.u.? it's going to a tough one. >> he's playing a tricky game. he's balancing two groups of people with different ideas. he's put himself in a position where he could potentially really disappoint people. they're going play very hard

ball with him. it will be difficult to change the treaties, and he'll get minor concessions that he'll portray as big concessions. but there is fear that ale disappoint the electorate and possibly sleep walking into a yes vote in the referendum. >> which is not something that he wants. i wonder if he would have been better off in a coalition with the liberal democrats where he argues i'm in a coalition the liberal democrats say they don't want a referendum. i'm joining a government with them, and therefore i can get out of this. but now this is a manifesto promise he has to go ahead with it. >> i think yes the dynamics of the next parliament are going to be very different because up to this point cameron has had to deal with the moderating liberals whereas for new on he'll have to deal with the right wing back benchers it will

be a different type of negotiation that he'll have to be balancing. >> how big of a shift has there been overnight where you look in scotland where majority of scotland is run by scottish nationalists mps. this was a party a couple of years ago. 0 years agos with considered to be a fringe party. now technically they'll have a say on what happens in the whole of the u.k. >> yes, it's a once in a generation shift really. and the other important thing is that they'll all be going through transitions and it may be the biggest threat to the government in terms of the rhetoric and in terms of the agenda in westminster. >> and it all again comes back to europe because scotland wants to be part of the e.u.

should in the next two years when we have this referendum, should the u.k. as a whole say we don't want to be part of the european union, and then they would say we want to stay within the european club. >> it's likely that scotland would have another republican referendum on that basis. one of the reasons that they moved to vote them back in was to preserve the status quo and stability. i think the campaign for potential exit from europe could be potentially very destabilizing, and to put on top of that, a possible second referendum on the future of the union. it's even doubly so. >> good to talk with you. thanks so much.
