g.c.c. in areas like the missile defense, and maritime security, special operations, counter terrorism capacity, border security -- these are the types of capabilities that i think are directly relevant to the threats across the region. not just destabilizing activities but also terrorist groups like isil. >> let's go to allen fisher who is at the summit, in maryland, if one can measure any progress, any success by either side, measurements here, how would we do that. >> i think the g.c.c. have managed to get some of the things that they wanted, remember just a few days ago were saying they wanted something in writing on paper, from the americans almost a treaty that would come to the aid and that has been dismissed by the deputy national security advisor.

what they have come one a shopping list. busiest shipping lanes in the world, anti-terror operations working with the g.c.c. countries and also border security, all of these things are important all within the gift of the white house. but there will be increased cooperation, this is to try and soothe concerns that the g.c.c. has that america is getting much closer to iran, ben roads in a briefing just more than an hour ago essentially saying look, iran is important, we need to get the nuclear deal, but that said, it is not a grand plan,

it is just getting the nuclear program. >> in term of helping with the defense capability, we really are on your sign, and the white house saying yeah, we would consider giving our gulf allies nonmember nato status, which basically says we are watching your backs guys. >> it does open up all sorts of dip lo t maic and military. of the nations that described as nonaustralia is a non -- and get a great deal of cooperation, from the united states so this would widen

that scope. steal has a competitive advantage against those that would seek to do it harm. and dream would consider gulf countries among those that may be possible enemies. even though ironically, the question of a deal with iran, they share many concerns that israel has as well. it was a gamble to call this summit he knew that a few people might snub it . >> the end of the summit, razoo sign that the g.c.c. is moving more towards his point of view, when it comes to

dealing with iran. >> i think we are expecting to hear from the president in the next couple of hours and as allen was mentioning, about maritime security iranian boats have been involved in the stand off in the gulf, they reportedly fired warning shots over a singapore flag cargo in international waters there. and aided it into the port last month iran intercept add martial islands strait and forced it into iranian waters again firing shots across it's bow. >> yemen's government in saudi arabia, speaking to al jazeera yemen's foreign minister accused iran once again of backing the houthis rebels. >> we decided -- in order to have more communication with

but that means that the houthis have to surrender at least their heavy arms they have to allow the government to do it's job and to refrain from taking action against humanity. >> yemen's government is led by president and vice president bahar. they were forced out of power when the houthis took over the capitol. the government is hoping to return as soon as fighting comes to an end. they say the president should face trial. >> there has been systemic crimes against humanity, committed be i the houthis. and organized armed units intentionally targeted civilians in adan, refugees threing their homes and boats, it is a crime. >> reconciliation may be a long way weeks of fighting have deepens the divide between the factions. >> yemen's main political

factions are expected to meet here to form a new alliance, and forces loyal to former president. they hope to build new support that is likely to run the country in the near future. >> different rival factions in the central african country now fighting for control of different strategic sites around the capitol. at least one soldier has been kill sod far, we understand, all this a day after an army general said he had managed to overthrow the president. the armies divided between supporters of the president on one hand, and this man he
