talks to end nearly a year of civil war. houthi rebels took control of the capital sanaa, backed by former president ali abdullah saleh, they swept through other areas of yemen. then trigger was saudi arabia and its gulf allies to support president abd rabbu mansour hadi. at a massive human cost, the u.n. estimates almost 6,000 civilians have been killed since march. almost 2.3 million people have been forced from their homes. 80% of the citizens need assistance. zeina khodr reports. >> it is a show of force just before the warring sides talk peace. the yemen government and saudi

led coalition have defloyd forces close to the capital sanaa. troop deployments in mareb province appear to be an attempt to force concessions. but they are not hopeful they will give up powrt without powet afight. >> thaafight. >> that is unacceptable that is treason. >> the conflict is in its ninth month. fired side is winning and the humanitarian cost is high. 80% of its population, that is 21 million people, are on the brink of famine. >> translator: it's time to end the humanitarian cries.

what we secrisis. both sides are not willing to then war. >> yemen's internationally reason recognized government is backed by a saudi coalition. want the houthis to back down and withdraw. they are unlikely the do that. they have long demanded broader discussions which would involve a power-sharing deal. the u.n. will be hosting peace talks at a nrvetion undisclosedn in switzerland. the conditions for a political solution are now in place, what has become clear is that the international community is determined to stop groups like i.s.i.l. and al qaeda from exploiting the security vacuum in yemen. for now, neither side can

dictate the terms of a political settlement since the balance of power on the ground is not clear. the u.n. is hoping the talks can lead to confidence-building measures and at least ease the suffering of millions of yemenis, this could allow security and unfettered access to aid agencies. the last time the sides agreed to sit across from each other was in may but those talks ended before they began. >> translator: a promising appreciatpromisingpre prerequisite to the talks. >> if that holds at least while the delegations discuss peace it could be a sign of whether the imloidiplomatic process could

succeed. zeina khodr, al jazeera, geneva. >> joining us live via skype, in geneva for those talks. a warm welcome. what was the expectation from the ceasefire and these talks, is there optimism that things are more ripe and ready for progress? >> i think depends on the way you look at it. if you look at it from how the feeling is towards the climactic sort of assets that are going into these talks then yes, people are optimistic. there is a lot more preparation that have gone into these talks than in late may. there's a sequence of talks that have happened in aman. if you look at what's actually happening on the ground then it just makes it seem like these talks are hopeless.

both sides have advanced lots of civilians were killed, i think around 22 from a saudi air strike yesterday and then today you have two very important commanders that were killed by the houthis so it really looks at what lens you look at it. >> what were the big sticking points back in june? i'm getting some of those still exist but from the sign of what you're saying, there has been some progress. where are we on the sticking point issues? >> back in may the situation in yemen was not as bad as it is now. and the government on the saudi led coalition were advancing. they took aden, they deliberatelied aden and there was movement on the ground. now they've reached a stalemate. in the last couple of months, nothing has really changed. they have been battling for ta'izz but neither side has won.

both sides need to understand that a complete military vic is just not possible for both sides. the best way out is through diplomatic negotiations. >> i'm wondering if a further issue could potentially be is whatever is decided during these talks is that that will then have to translate onto the ground. so whatever is agreed here essentially will have to be translated and put into practice on the ground. and that sounds in itself to be a very difficult journey. >> absolutely. it's going to be a process. the thing is about these talks this time, last time they went in with the intention of imposing the u.n. resolution 2216, the government and the saudis were not willing to compromise on the u.n. resolution 2216. they are willing to use u.n. resolution 2216 as a starting point. already the u.n. envoy has said

we need to be flexible with regard to the u.n. resolution because they realize that thinking you know trying to set back time and to ask for houthis to go back to saada, after everything that has happened, is impossible because there will be a complete power vacuum. so i think the fact that they have changed the basis of where to start the talks means there could be progress this time round. >> let's hope so. nawal thank you very much for your analysis, thank you. >> thank you. >> president obama has warned i.s.i.l. leaders that the u.s. led coalition will hunt them down one by one. he made that comment after chairing a national security group. pathy culhane has the laidest. >> reporter: u.s. president barack obama announced he was immediately sending his he be

take back for example mosul, and you saw the situation in syria, other than that it is going to be very hard. because this is a long struggle. >> thank you very much everybody. >> the president asking for patience but in a political year, that is hard to come by. pathy culhane, al jazeera, washington. >> in damascus, air base located in the mostly opposition held suburb which has been held by rebels for three years. the capture is considered a victory for syrian troops and allies from the militant hezbollah group fighting under russian air cover in the area. foreign ministers are gathering in paris for high level talks seeking to increase diplomatic efforts to end syria's bloody civil war. the fighting has killed more than 250,000 people in the last

five years and injured more than a million, most civilians. more than half of the 22 million population has been displaced, 7.6 million internally and 3.9 million outside of the country. and the u.n. says that 12.2 million people inside syria still need humanitarian assistance. the u.n. humanitarian chief steven o'brien has been assessing the conflict results. bernard smiths has the story. >> reporter: winter has arrived in syria bringing with it a new set of challenges for people who have been displaced from their homes. >> translator: these heaters are dangerous to have in a tent. children can suffocate from the smoke. >> reporter: 35,000 syrians live in this camp on the northern outskirts of aleppo. while fighting in the area continues and is pra perhaps the

visit. >> this ways is unacceptable. a blot on our collective conscience. >> there are about 7.6 internally displaced civilians, 2 million children are out of school. bernard smith, al jazeera. >> well, al jazeera's dominic kane is live in paris for us. hi there dominic. they were hoping for some kind of consensus. do we know if any progress was made? >> reporter: well, julie the meeting here broke up some time ago. and there's been no communique or statement from the french government following meeting. but one line that appears to be emerging is that the u.s. secretary of state john kerry has had a phone conversation with the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov on which

both sides agreed on the need to set preconditions before any new meaningful talks to try resolve the syria crisis. that might be a reference to meetings that are scheduled to be held in the u.n. in new york on friday. it will it's important to point out that mr. kerry will be going to moscow for a meeting tomorrow morning with mr. lavrov but also vladimir putin, the russian president. the preconditions may be we certainly know that the russian government believes that president bashar al-assad still has a role to play in syria and needs to be part of a post-conflict solution for syria. we also know that up until now certainly western governments have said that that is not kay e-case and we know that the french government prior to the meeting that was held at quay definitely orsay could not be part of a solution. the french government wanted to salute the efforts of opposition groups who met in ryad oin

recent days to try to agree on a solution. so far from this meeting nothing concrete has emerged, julie. >> dominic kane joining me live from paris, dominic, thank you. coming up this news hour, we report from the central o centrn republic on the efforts of peace keepers. >> preventing the media getting anywhere near the court. >> scuffles in china as a prominent human rights lawyer is tried mocking the government. >> in sport why tokyo is forced to downsize its plans for 2020 olympics. aturkey has withdrawn about 1,000 troops stationed at a camp

in northern iraq. the deployment had led to a diplomatic spat between moscow and ankara. turkey's prime minister ahmed davutoglu said troops were pulled out because of necessity. >> turkish troops stationed in northern iraq are finally on their way out. from the peshmerga forces we know that more than a thousand troops according to these kurdish sources are on their way out. turkey says there were only 150 sent here. trucks carrying tanks and also heavy military equipment back to turkey. the movement of this equipment and large number of troops caused a row between the two governments. asking it to use its influence on turkey to try get these troops out of his territory.

turkey insists the insists these important for the protection of the stronghold of mosul approximately the pressure from the urch u.n, we now know that e troops are on the way out and turkey insisting these are a regular deployment of troops. peace clash with protester in the southern turkish city of dearbakur. predominantly kurdish city. the kurdistan workers party or pkk in morning iraq, ankara has imposed curfews in many areas of the city. a u.s. soldier has been ordered to force a military court.

sergeant bowe bergdahl, held captive by the taliban for five years before being released last year in exchange for five taliban leaders. al jazeera's rosiland jordan is live with more from washington, d.c. roz tell us more about this case. >> well, the charge that you mentioned endangering his fellow troops is the lesser of the two charges that sergeant bowe bergdahl will be tried on, as he goes through a courts-martial. he's also knowledge charged with desertion. this is not what was recommended after his preliminary hearing earlier this year. the recommendation was not that he go before the courts-martial but before a special courts-martial where the most

significant punishment he so have faced was one year in detention. bergdahl is 29 years old, a serious situation for him. it is being thought in some quarters that perhaps the commanding generalize of army forces command is trying to send a message to other members of the active military, that if they do what bergdahl is accused of doing which is walking away from his post in eastern afghanistan back in 2009 that there will be serious repercussions. again we don't know yet when sergeant bergdahl will go before the courts-martial but we expect it will be sometime in 2016. not surprising julie his lawyer is not happy with the turn of events. >> just wondering roz, is this case getting a lot of attention stateside? what do the american public think? >> it's only couple out in the past couple of hours so it's not

clear how much renewed attention is in the case, because we are in the middle of the presidential primary season and there's more discussion about that. however, when bergdahl was released in 2014 in exchange for those five former members of the taliban it was a very controversial swap here in the united states. while some were glad that he was able to be released after five years in taliban cab tift, there were many others in this country who were upset that the president released those five former members of the taliban without the proper notification to congress. and so there was this idea that basically, the president was willing to break the law, in order to get someone who himself is accused of breaking the law out of the hands of the taliban. so i would think that there's going to be more discussion about this, and that you may actually hear some people say well bowe bergdahl is simply

doing what is due to him. he is going to be held accountable for not only desserting his post but putting his soldiers at risk because there was a vigorous effort to try to find him after he disappeared. >> rosiland jordan joining me live from washington, d.c. thank you roz. on wednesday president jacob zuma sacked his finance minister, sending the rand into a dip. famida miller has more from johannesburg. >> it all began when president jacob zuma abruptly fired his finance minister. cost the country millions of dollars and was determined to curb government spending in

other areas as well. >> the second reason is also that former minister nene had expressed severe and sincere reservations about the nuclear deal that south africa is on the brink of signing with russia for nuclear energy to be provided to this country. >> president zuma said he roorveremoved nene in order foro be able to stand for office. van royan was also let go. the biggest casualty is an already struggling economy. >> much of the damage has been done. south africa's credit rating is likely to receive a down grade. the rand has fallen by over 10%. that is -- means that the inflation rate is going to rise by far more than people had anticipated.

in turn, that means that interest rates will have to increase. >> it's now up to gordon to restore economic credibility. >> we are really serious when we say good governance is nonnegotiatable. it is time that individuals or groups of individuals stop playing with agents, socs or other government components as if it was a personal toy. >> the local currency the rand has seen some gains overnight after the appointment. the ruling party the african national congress says it didn't push zuma to appoint the lathest finance minister. but that decision came after zuma met with the party subleadership over the weekend. insisting the appointment was over public concern. appointment of a third finance minister in less than a week
