2:06 pm
but, it would be interesting to see what comes out tomorrow. south africa, has obligation, to fulfill whatever obligation is arising from the treaty, and they said, they are concerned about the way, that it has been carrying out its business, and a lot of the people are african and the leader are clear that not the tribe and, i would watch closely to see whether they find some sort of creative solutions that allows him to sneak quietly back home or if indeed, the law is done, and he would be held to account, to answer to a lot of the charges that have been leveled against him including the crime against humanity. thank you.

2:10 pm
welcomed a new addition to the family, a grandson. the baby is a joy but always extra mouth to feed. more in yemen forces and their allies have seized the capital after desert, and it came hours before a houthi delegation left for geneva. joined by their allies, and the people's congress. talks and when the houthis refused to leave on saturday. discussions will be on monday and they can come soon enough for the people of yemen exhaustdies have kept up their airstrikes, and the humanitarian efforts continue to deterrate.
2:11 pm
the support for an end to the war in yemen he needs the support of the international community, and yemen's neighbors the u.n. was hoping to announce a cease fire before the talks but that seems unlikely- we still don't know that they will to create a climate conducive to moving forward. yemen is concerned that the consultations might drag on, exlead to more violence. in regards to the you want n. brokered talks, we hope that something positive will come out of the meeting between the parties because we want the war to be over. i believe the u.n. talks arwaste of time, because the u.n. was behind the unjust resolution, and they are behind a major failure in safeguarding
2:12 pm
the security in yemen. saudi arabia launched airstrikes, in march. the oil rich kingdom accuses them the de stabilizing the region, the u.n. resolution passed on april called a houthi fighters to withdraw from all yemen cities, and they insist that the campaign would end only if that happens. when they started, they are in it for the long-haul and however, achieving goals meaning more civilians and more casualties, and i think they see good results by the houthis and, i think they will jump on board. the province is where there could be more fighting if the peace talks collapse. they have gathered forces,
2:13 pm
an area rich in oil and gas. we know that the houthis are tending a major offensive and they won't be able to control the province. thousands have fled, and the lucky ones, escape to neighboring countries and many are strandedded and they only hope, is an end to the fighting. no one here expects a breakthrough but the u.n. hopes to get them to start a political process, it might take a long time but they say it's the only way to stop violence and, put an into the suffering of civilians. viewing these talks and she joins us now, what is your expectation for these talks in geneva. well there's a mixed reaction on the ground, and
2:14 pm
when they were delayed people started to become very skeptical about what the outcome would be. some had hoped that with the observation of rami dan coming, that there would be a cease fire which is now needed. but, in general yemen has very little hope. the general expectation is because leaders have failed them in the past, that they're going to fail them once again. tell me what is life like there at the moment. things are actually quite tense. airstrikes still occur on a daily basis and yemen are no longer strangers to injuries, and deaths, almost everyone i met, who has been troubled by the war and yet people still go out and they try as much as they can and, to get on with their lives to go shopping, and
2:15 pm
get basic supplies that they need. but, wherever they go out they go out, saying goodbye to their families not knowing if this is the last time they will see them. there's shortages of basics in the water and so on. on a daily basis how do you get it? the main electricity and water lines are no longer running, and they can go out for about a week. and the gas and water and pet trol lines extend for miles and, at first glance it looks like a traffic jam which is very easy to mistake, but once you will at the cars, there are people who have been cueing for days, for the petro just enough to get them by for three days. there are water lines, there are fuel lines and almost anything, that you deem a basic commodity
2:16 pm

interest. it has woken under and made contact with erred it touched down on the surface of 67p. and contact was lost, when the batteries ran down. but, as it moved closer to the sun it started to work again transmitting data for 85 seconds. it is healthy and it's operational and, we will work, in the coming days on getting communication slots, and then, get the instruments and get nor science. thanks for joining us, how surprised are you, this has woken up again. we weren't that surprised the we glad.
2:45 pm
as i said before, at the time when it landed on the surface it wasn't dead, it was just sleeping and, the problem was it wasn't getting enough sunlight, and the hope was, as it moved closer to the sun, they would have more access, and it would wake up. and that's what happened. it looks like it's been awake for awhile. when they got 85 seconds of data, it had been doing it job for awhile. program of science loaded into the hard drive and working through that, and it got a whole bunch of information there that we can get back now. how does that happen? what is the next contact? when it was sent down it was programmed so that no matter what happens it carries on and does its job it's always been searching for the signal and
2:46 pm
now, that row set take has been able to pick it up. several reasons it could be that it just had enough power. it could be that they only have just managed to find it a couple of weeks ago they sent out the first images. where it came to rest. so it might have been that they just found it, and only known where to look for the signal many. tell me why is this so significant? what are they trying to achieve with it? well, it is very much the cherry on the top. re set take is the orbiter that has gone around, ever since november, before that. so that has been studying the whole of the comet. it gets a up close and personal look at the surface and, we can take samples and, put it onto the on born, and analyze what it
2:47 pm
is made up of. what is brilliant about getting it back online, we might use its drill. it has a drill so right into the surface. and it can get a really pristine sample, one that hand been exposed to space and sunlight. so this sample, would be what the solar system is like. and that is going to tell us so much about water, and the state of the solar system when planets all first form he. you mentioned water there you exare expecting it to be water or in a different form? it will be ice water. and one of the big questions that row set take, has been trying to answer, where does water on earth come from. one of the big problems, is understanding the water because
2:48 pm
the way that we understand earth, there shouldn't have been any water and yet there is, so it must have been delivered. and first indications have shown that the water that was delivered wasn't by comets. because it would be found on 67p. doesn't match the water on the earth, and if you can drill down into the surface and things are different or it might be that we can find it. thank you so much for talking to us. still ahead, robin is here with sports, including a action packed, 24 hours of the sports most famous endurance races
