fighting with the houthis continues on the outskirts. >> translator: there are [ inaudible ]. we will definitely by the help of god clear up this area in the next few days and feel victory. >> reporter: president hadi says aden will be the first in a series of victories. but the houthis still control the capitol of sana'a. they have prove tone be a resilient foe despite months of air strikes from a saudi-lead coalition. this analyst said if this strategy can be duplicated it can have the same effect elsewhere. >> the next step will be to see other areas where there is a resistance on the ground. and sana'a will probably happen down the road.

>> reporter: in sana'a people went to the market to buy goats to celebrate ramadan, and filled mosques for friday prayers. sources say they saw military yets in the skies above, but there were no air strikes. >> translator: we are so desperate from the conflict on the ground. we call on god to give us a sign of relief. >> reporter: the humanitarian truce was intended to give yemenese some relief until the end of ramadan, now yemenese must prepare themselves for whatever comes next. a triple attack in northeastern nigeria has killed at least 13 people. the attack targeted muslim worshippers gathering on friday morning. >> reporter: we know that the it happened near a mosque and that paper rently according to people

we have spoken to on the ground two female suicide bombers were behind the explosion. they app -- apparently arrived on a commercial device and the other attack was a male suicide bomber who's vehicle blew up. so far there has been no official response to the nature or the verasty of these attacks from the military or the police and neither has the military spoken about it. the president did come to power promising to defeat boko haram. he has done a lot politically to try to show the nigerian people that he is doing his best to try to defeat the group. he moved the command to the northeast, he earmarked over $20 million to support soldiers who were fighting boko haram.

he wentg-7 summit the african union summit meeting in south africa to talk about boko haram and seek help from other countries and met with the leaders of chad and niger who have been affected. on sunday he will travel to the united states to meet president barack obama next week and it is thought the whole insecurity in the northeast will be at the top of the agenda. he'll be seeking help from the united states with military equipment and intelligence gathering. but even though there seems to be a lot of political effort there is a feeling that much of what has been done is not being felt on the ground because it's evident that boko haram is still a force to be reckoned with. german mp's have backed a new bailout for growth. chancellor angela merkel said it was the last chance to resolve the crisis.

she told parliament it would responsible to refuse to help greece. let's go to berlin now, dominic kane there s there for us. how did it go? >> reporter: a resounding majority in favor of it. but if you look into the figures, the grand coalition of christian democrats and social democrats has 504 members, so 65 membersover the government failed to vote yes. chimes with the prognostications suggesting around 48 members of her own party were going to vote no. so it does send a signal that perhaps not everything in the garden is rosy. clearly angela merkel said in her speech that she understood that there were really serious concerns among -- in society,

among her own party, about the thought of yet more money for greece, but she said it was the only path that could be gone down, and the euro was more than a currency, it was something that united europe. but we also heard from the left-wing party, and its leader said that the finance minister the economy minister, and angela merkel were hoisting something on to the greeks. so clearly there were strong issues expressed on both sides, and it's recalling that opinion polls consistently for the last few weeks have suggested that very many germans are deeply distrustful of the current greek government in athens and that many feel that anymore money sent to athens will never come back so that is the backdrop to the vote that has taken place

today. >> all right. dominic thank you very much. in greece two separate wildfires are pouring more misery on top of the country's economic woes. strong winds and high temperatures caused the blaze to spread quickly, and smoke has blanketed part of athens. >> reporter: behind me the thick cloud of smoke caused by those brush fires very much still visible. we have seen planes helicopters trying to douse those planes the fear is that those blazes would re-kindl and we have seen fires that have been put out seemingly come back to life. at thens is not the only area in greece where there have been fires. there is a huge fire south of athens. a lot of concern as to whether these fires will spread. the prime minister has urged

people to remain calm but he is also asking for support from especially italy and france and other european countries to make sure these fires are continued. this is typically the season where wildfires occur in greece and while there has been no official confirmation as to what is the source, there have been two mayors who have come out and said they believe that arson is the cause of these fires. but no high senior government officials have come out and commented on that. now there is a lot of concern right now as to the residents that live on that hillside where those brush fires are. because we have heard reports that some of the fires are getting within 100 meters possibly less to homes there. so the residents where the blaze is getting closer they have been urged to evacuate but as i said officials asking the people of greece to remain calm.
