1:11 pm
scene of the explosion. then we are now in our neighborhood in aden province, the location where the governor of aden major general saad was targeted. this is the vehicle he was in with his aides. a car carrying explosives parked on the side of the road. when hez motor cade passed by, it was detonated. the governor was killed immediately. droid along with property in the area. the explosion was massive and the impacts caused cracks. security vie ladies and gentlemen of the jurilations and he isplosions. yemeni government and president hadi must take meztemperatures maintain security which is considered the proofitional capitol. >> a visiting fell a previous journalist in yemen. we join him in beirut.
1:12 pm
hadi went back to aden to establish his forces. those loyal to him and pushed out. other opposition fighters was wrong. wasn't he? >> there is a decent agree of i guess we can say symbolic relevance that hadi is in aden. the fwablt that remains that outside of his heavily security come pound, the city remains in a state, i guess you could say, disorder in the sense that there is no strong government presence sxweedz, a number of different and indeed competing malitias holding power on the ground so you can say in a physical sense, yes, hadi has returned to aden but when you move beyond that, has goverance, a government returned to governing aden? i think it's clear today which
1:13 pm
included a second evaluation, it's clear that the goverance has not yet returned. >> is it your sense, where a lot of people are saying hadded needs to establish security he is completely unable to do so? >> this it was his second return to aden. he previously returned roughly three months ago. we have seen a great degree of decrees, access, that has happened opinion a rhetorical level but there has been this great disconnect. an anti-terrorism force formed, talk of increasing security groups formed there is no
1:14 pm
changing seen on the ground. you see a great degree of outrage from a number of people in aden after today for many people, this is just, you know, we are coming here. >> we will get into that in just a moment. what i would like to ask you about now is something that i have talked about on this program before now. >> that's the fact that when he is fighting the houthis and the houthis are fighting him. this is giving free rein to other groups such as aqap, al-qaeda in the arabian peninsula and isil to expand areas of operation thereby increasing the instability in yemen. >> absolutely. i think in a lot of the media dpiksz, yemen is described as being this two-sided war but there are far more than one side. i mean you have al-qaeda which has certain a great degree of advantage, the port city has been ruled by al-qaeda since march effectively. then you have this increasing
1:15 pm
presence of this group calling itself the yemen's branch of the islamic state group. you have seen this continued power vacuum which griefz like this the opportunity to action up and down their presence. and when you look at not just the reputation of if but it's important to remember a year, two years ago, the united states government was describing aqap as the most dangerous terror group in the world. it raises questions of what not just long-term but even medium term consequences of this continued disorder in yemen will be. >> there has been a lot of talk in the last six weeks or so about the amount of money that isil is getting from the syrian iraqi oil fields. now, there is oil in yemen in the area that you talked about when aqap have stands a stronger foothold pretty close to yemen's oil field as well. how will it be possim to prevent either of these two groups taking control of those oil
1:16 pm
field it is and increasing their revenue stream? i mean it's an interesting question because i think to some sense, you have had aqap especially and to a lesser extent, is. there is this idea of they are trying to maintain a needsium profile in this term even if aqap has -- is effectively ruling mukulah. at the same time, they have established this sort of front that they have had to rule. so, the question is whether they will -- it's hard to imagine them taking such a step as seizing oil fields. but i think when you look at yemen at this point, it's very, you know, this could go any way at this point. when you see the continued i inability of there being any restoration of stability in the country, i wouldn say look forwardtion anything is
1:17 pm
possible. we have this story coming up about hundreds of soldiers who are trying to help those people stranded by india's flooding. the rare address from the oval office will be live in washington, d.c. as the u.s. president gets ready to talk to his nation about the california shooting. but i am at the world table tennis championships in france where europe is trying to loosen china's grip on the sport. within also last hour, israeli police say they have shot and killed a palestinian who they claim tried to stab somebody in jerusalem. three people were wounded in that attack and it brings the number of palestinians killed since october to 113. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his country is not heading toward a one state solution. assertions made by the u.s.
1:18 pm
secretary of state. john kerry has been warning israel about the dangers of a possible collapse of the palestinian authority. he said that would lead to a situation that would threaten the security of both sides. >> if there is a risk that the pa could collapse and it is in israeli interest for it to, in fact, survive, as the prime minister suggested, should more, therefore, not be done to help sustain it? the one state absolutelies is no solution at all for a secure jewish democratic israel living in peace. it is simply not a viable option. >>is rally will not be a bi national state. in order for there to be peace, the other side must decide it wants peace. this is not what we see incitement is continuing. it must stop. >> i am joined from ramallah by
1:19 pm
the deputy commission for the fata party. calling for palestine to be recognized as a state. i understand you think there were some interesting perhaps useful points of view put it forward by john kerry. what were they? >> it is interesting to always point out the fact that israel is objecting and blocking the two-state solution and that we are heading toward the one state realty where apartheid is the name of the game and where israel controls the entire land of palestine and siege as they do in gaza triking seg greggations and racism. we all know the diagnosis of the situation these comments even come frommisitioni comment ators. the question is about the u.s.,
1:20 pm
the policy and the consequences of not implementing the policy. we wanted to here from the secretary of state kerry more about what the is going to do, not what theusis is going to do. as long as they can keep the status quo and the theft of our resource and murder of kids praccally as they do every day with impunity as long as that is possible, they will continue. >> you think when kerry something like -- this is not the first time we have heard it when kerry says something like continuing to build settlement is an obstacle to peace, he is just saying it and expecting nothing to change? >> he is saying it. he believes they are a major obstacle but settlement are not just an obstacle to peace. they are illegal acts and should
1:21 pm
amount to sanctions by the international community. this brings the major question: is the u.s. capable to enforce possible and will in time -- time in and time out, the u.s. appears like somebody who is an observer, somebody who is lecturing. today, the u.s. provides israel with every means to continue being a super power in the region. the supremacy comes from the u.s. total impunity is provided by the u.s. to israel and, therefore, to come and lecture and talk about israel and the lack of adherence to international law to united states policy is meaningless. >> the u.s. we have heard a great deal of this before. i would like to talk to you about the particular circumstances we see at the moment with regard to kerry's assertion about the dangers of a collapse of the palestinian authority. it's been suggested that ma' mad
