nations envoy who said that during his recent visit to sanna, he saw aid trickling in and get to different areas but he's of the view and his colleagues that aid should reach most of yemen. he needs that ceasefire for that to be extended. the problem is that the saudi-led coalition and government are concerned that the truce could be used by the houthis to regroup and more reinforcements to taiz and said we are patient but our patience runs thin. we don't want to see the houthis further expanding south. i think the international community is going to negotiate with the houthis -- >> making his first public appearance after a coo attempt failed, the currently leader

judicial officers. i think the international community is going to do what it always does, say it's concerned and then may even say it condemnles what we saw today but that's simply not good enough. what we need for the international community is to look at human rights crisis. they are treating life very, very cheaply indeed. we don't need words we need actions. the international community is signing lucrative trade deals and arms deems with the egyptian authorities, sending a different message than in public statements. the truth is if the international community wants to do business with egypt it should wash its hands afterwards because it is going to have blood on them. >> mohamed morsi was convicted for taking part in a mass jail break. the u.s. state department said

power that the population who have been listening to and making up their minds about the situation. there have been threshes i go nations including the intelligence service here. in some ways, one would expect that this government was in a lot of trouble a lot of difficulties. as those phone conversations appear to reveal the extent to which this government and the party has managed to control the media and we don't know really just who you secure his position or insecure his position really is. >> i hope you can hear me, it's obviously very noise behind you there. but alongside this crisis are escalating tensions with the albanians, following that shootout of the weekend between ethnic albanians and the police. why is that suddenly a problem

as well? >> well, very quickly i think we should be very came to use the word tension because yes there is a substantial percentage of the population in macedonia and ail bain i can't about 25%. last weekend was a very serious incident in which people were killed at that terrorists, the government was describing them as. this took place in the albanian quarter and the government claimed they were albanian separatists. for the first time, we have albania flags raised alongside the albania flags the community saying we are not going to rise to provocation the opposition making the dramatic claim that this incident that took place

has to be sorted out back at source and laying the blame for this very much firmly at the doors of the myanmar government. >> more than 130 fisherman rescued in indonesia are being sent back to myanmar. they were trapped in slave labor on finishing boats. we talked with one man who already returned. >> even the simple things give him a sense of pleasure. he's finally home after three and a half years away, away from his loved ones, who he thought he'd never see again. >> when i was in indonesia, i was always thinking when will in able to go home to see my family. >> he returned to myanmar several days ago together with 124 others, and got this reception. they are some of the hundreds held captive and forced to work

pour infrastructure. protests in china are not uncommon, but not on this scale. the government allows protest acting as a safety valve allowing people to let off steam. the danger as we just appeared to see happen is occasionally they spiral out of control. >> two nuns have become the first palestinians in modern times to become roman catholic saints. >> hope francis cannonnized the women in the vatican. one died in 1878 and the other in 1927. their sainthood is seen as support for christians in the middle east, who face increased persecution. we have more from west jerusalem. >> the congress of praise in

experience of the houthis in politics is making them move very slowly and not using wisely the five days, as of now the five days has been useless and aid not reached. >> there are now talks going on in riyadh, involving political civilian and tribal parties from the region, but no houthis why is that and what will it mean for any agreement? >> the riyadh summit is the new alliance against the houthis very powerful today, you have hundred was top politicians representing many of the top parties in the country so very huge vote for the houthis. they are able to convince factions to ally with them. this also is because the group

without experience in politics. it's a very big blow and the conference will be the next alliance against the houthis when the talks begin in the next couple of weeks and we do expect that the houthis will not get their way because the people who attended and are now supporting the so you had push do not allow the majority of the political factions and this is basically a big blow to the houthis who are now in sanna to convince people that they were bombed by saudis and now convince to go in the first place but at the end road, they were there with the houthis and that's what counts. >> thank you for that update, speaking to us from sanna on skype there. >> there's been heavy fighting in the iraqi city rimadi. isil fighters captured most of the city, including a major government compound.

they believe they can win this fight, but the government was reluctant and now we hear from the provincial compound of anbar asking authorities to send the iranian backed shia militias to wage the fight in anbar and this is a decision that's going to in flame sectarian tensions. we've been speaking to people of anbar and they've been saying if the government uses these militias, it's not going to help. we don't want them here. we're afraid of them. in tikrit they were accused of human rights abuses and looting. right now the government is on the defensive in anbar. >> the president of ramallah is
