brotherhood were sentenced to life in prison just before reading the verdict, the judge accused -- and demonized the level hood. some say the case is a trial of the revolution which toppled mumbarak. >> these are not delivering what we are truly hoping for. no one should be above the law, but what is happening now is a form of a political revenge, and this will complicate the crisis even from further in egypt. now trials and death sentences were handed out to dozens that support the group. right groups the u.s. have condemned the sentence and have questioned the credibility, egypt's

only last week, isil fighters were here in the same place trying to stop people from leaving. but a three week assault forced isil out. air strikes from the u.s. led coalition, were an essential part of the battle plan. now therd cannish flag flies above. that makes them nervous. the west which is conducting arian bombings is unfortunately positioning terrorists members and p cank it is a separatist group that has fought a bat with the state. in northern syria but uniquely, that town is a majority arab.

however, they say it was once kurdish before they were forced out in the 1980's, and lo more recently by isil. the government and the group of 15 syrian antigovernment groups have accused the y. p.g. of displacing arabs from the area. base less, we don't fight isil alone, they fight with us on the front line, we didn't liberate because it is kurdish, we treat all syrian cities equally. in the north or south we invite all that like to come back anyone can come here to verify what i am saying. the loss is their most significant defeat since they swept through northern syria two years ago. the curds now control the road. the effective capitol in syria.

the only concern they say is that they want to ensure that yemen's army takes over, the moment they put out, because they say is we will not allow al quaida any chance to further expand in the areas that we control. but the international commute has to understand, that the houthis will control huge areas. should have bigger political representation. >> huge concern, of course internationally. they have plenty of things to lose if these talks aren't successful. >> thousands of people are killed or forced to leave their own areas thousands are stranded. they are saying now that there needs to be a

humanitarian truce implemented in the coming days before the month of ramadan so that the international aid can flow into yemen, it is talking about shortages in food, basic items. also drinking water electricity, and medicine, and the international community is very concerned about this situation. the aid workers say that they cannot go into the country unless there is a cease fire, and they guarantee that they can travel across the country. so this is the biggest concern of top priorities for the international community and they are hoping to come to some sort of agreement on a cease fire in the. cooing days. thank you. washington has been pursuing him for years for allegedly planning a number of attacks.

>> the meeting of al quaida leads was held last year in the open and during daylight hours. clearly mocking for those who have vowed to vanquish. the high value target for well over a decade has been eliminated but is the threat still alive. >> al quaida central has by and large been naturalized. al quaida has not. they stale remain probably the most significant threat to the west in terms of both capability and intent. during these attacks. qap has long been concerned the most active dangerous win of the network. formed in 2009 after the

since. the defense ministry killed dozens and wounded hundreds. carnage that had his fingerprints all over it. when a.q.a. p. appeared to be behind the attack, it reinforced to the west how political instability may embolden the group further. now, violence has con can assumed once more, and aqap is attempting to carve out more space. just over an hour after the group confirmed the death, it declares it's next leader. the message was clear they may have taken a hit but they are not diminished. al jazeera. >> the united nations peace keeping forces take too long to deploy and often have too few resources to make a difference. that is the conclusion of a panel that was affected the review the effectiveness of the peace keeping missions. they say there are chronic

to be known as the nica report, and then told a very moving story of a three-year-old in south sudan who had to make eight cross mine fields and front lines in order to get help from unicef. i think showing the problems that the u.n. has to deal with in so many different conflict zones around the word. one thing they want to do is come one a way between u.n. missions and perhaps with some forces set aside especially for this to have much faster deployment in the u.n. mission. i can tell you normally to get a u. n. peace keeping forin place when there's an emergency around the world the security council authorizes it, and the toes in place for six to nine months they want to reduce that.
