the fields in this area so we are cautious and yemen's new army has not deployed all its units left. >> reporter: a year after rebels took over the capitol sanaa the leader remains defiant. >> translator: we are confident we will ultimately prevail, our people have defeated invaders in the past and we will do the same thing again, we will continue the fight until we liberate each and every inch of our country. >> reporter: the houthi leader seems to be willing to compromise, his group has freed three saudi hose adju hostages two americans with the help of oman and a senior houthi official and a close aid to former president saleh and he is trying to mediate a political settlement between yemen's warring factions but a peace deal may be a long way.

the saudi-led coalition is pounding areas with another houthi stronghold and yemen's internationally recognized government says it will only join talks if houthis hand over weapons and withdraw from cities they have captured. al jazeera. al jazeera has been speaking to people living in yemen's capitol sanaa. here is one doctor story in his own words. >> translator: i used to lead a normal life, go to my work and private business. i'm a government employee and used to own a pharmaceutical company with my partner but with turmoil and war raging in the country most companies suffered great losses and my business went bankrupt and i'm not alone and this is the situation of most yemen and even the wealthy started to suffer and people wonder how we survive. my wife and i are lucky. we are government employees and have some income.

others have nothing. our people have become victims and suffer from the humanitarian crisis and now we are trying to help our currenty because most people are not equipped to face this war. this lady for example has become like a dear mother to me. she and her family were forced to flee from thai as a result of the fierce fighting and heavy shelling adjust face hardship and have no money and have not been able to pay the rent for the last three months but we and the generous people here in sanaa are trying to give this dear mother a helping hand with her rent. i really feel for my people and my family who once had flourishing business and enough money and friends and overnight everything started fading away. greece's prime minister alexis tsipras has been handed a second mandate by voters and initially elected to oppose

austerity measures but now they have required deals to keep greece in the ur euro zone and with the democracy party and more with greece's second city, the commercial hub of the country. >> reporter: opinion polls predicted that alexis tsipras and his party would come out with victory from the election but with a very limb margin and not such a clearcut majority but however the voters turn out is an important number in this election and the lowest since 1974 and probably has to do with the fact that many greeks say they are tired and they are disappointed and they say this is not the first election, not the last election and any way this time the mandate of whoever would win is quite clear. they need to get on with these austerity measures and reforms

that need to be voted in parliament before the end of the year, some of the local reports here are saying that more than 120 reforms and bills need to be passed through parliament and certainly a lot of work ahead. every sector of this society is going to be touched by it with tough decisions to take with social security and pensions and when it comes to privatization for example of the reports, a long, long list that alexis tsipras has agreed upon when he signed the memorandum of understanding and now he needs to march on with it before the end of the year, for the third bailout to come true. at least 32 civilians are reported have been killed in syria in a government air strike in aleppo. the strike targeted a neighborhood market that is popular with locals, first responders are still working to

talking to their opposite numbers in russia at the same time as putin and netanyahu are sitting down to try and workout this really vexing question of how can they avoid accidental exchange with the growing number of russian troops on the ground with the rush sun -- russian defense systems to threaten israeli jets and there is no indication that jerusalem thinks that russian is deliberately supplying arms to hezbollah but what they are saying is the situation is just so chaotic in syria that there could be a dangerous leakage of these cutting edge weapons and could end up with hezbollah and hezbollah has two russian types of missiles that are deployed in hezbollah positions and there is a worry that as these build up of arms continues that other groups could access the weapons

that are coming in. >> what are relations like between israel and russia, are they fairly cordial and is it possible to strike a deal to avoid the kind of confusion they are talking about? >> i think they will. they will be talking professionally now between the armed forces representatives. i mean the netanyahu frequently calls putin and they have a decent relationship. israel does not see russia as a threat to the state of israel but it's obviously concerned about this considerably enhanced build up that president putin seems to have authorized in this proceeding with. >> peter many thanks and peter sharp live in moscow. iran is in compliance with the u.n. investigation into its nuclear program, that is according to the iaea's director general who is just ended a
