and twenty. but first yemen's internationally recognized government has announced that it's now fighting with the ousted president ali abdullah saleh against the who the rebels now this marks a major shift in allegiance in the more than two and a half year war the prime minister says president of a drubbing a month or hardy will work with sally to fight the rainy unbacked his is this comes after sally's alliance with the his fell apart after days of infighting in the capital sanaa shallot the. five days of combat between former allies former president ali abdullah saleh and the who think he's dozens have been killed. in alliance with the who think he's after a popular uprising ended his thirty three years rule in twenty twelve together they

took control of sana now they're tearing the city apart. snipers are on rooftops and residential areas while tanks replace commuters on city streets the u.n. says fighting is so severe medical teams cannot get to the injured and people cannot leave their homes this report see a way in is trying to evacuate at least one hundred forty aid workers but fighting has cut off the a port road they have also being coalition is strikes on sana airport. the coalition bolstered by the new support of the former presidents have doubled down on the iranian backed who thinks the iranian embassy was hit by a rocket on saturday and then who think controlled territory in yemen's north the coalition air strike killed at least a dozen people. they targeted my house while there were eighteen to twenty guests

my whole family was inside as well as all our cattle everything is gone there's nothing left. tehran has told salai to rejoin the who the alliance against the coalition says he just wants a quick game to the conflict which is a volved into the world's largest humanitarian crisis charlotte ballasts al jazeera . so yemen is in the capital so now are now being sheltering from what is a twin threat of saudi led airstrikes as well as fighting between former rebel allies the international committee of the red cross is describing the situation as intolerable in a tweet the i.c.r.c. says the violent clashes and airstrikes continue in sanaa thousands are stuck in their homes with little food or water too scared to go out for fear of getting shot pregnant women can't get to hospital the situation is dire we repeat civilians are not part of the fight we can now speak to so meyer who is the son of

a spokeswoman for the international committee of the red cross she joins us on skype from sanaa. thank you very much indeed for talking to is the situation you've described in your tweet is one of after horror. indeed and actually yesterday night was the fire's one in terms of violence since. since the beginning of this week and it was really heavy on all on all of us be it yemenis as you said stock in their houses or also in many areas who are having the same fate where you cannot move and we are stuck in our houses and hoping for things to slow down and our people are aware of what we're describing now as a major shift in terms of the allegiances in this ongoing conflict in yemen are

people conscious of what exactly is going on to my knowledge and from the phone calls that i received myself or my colleagues here in the ground is that the population is much more now feeling about the all lives and does it was described in your report. people everyday about their own life and to gritty they don't have food they don't have access to hospitals and this is i think the most important things right now we are receiving calls this prickly from population because they are a lot of are stuck in the areas where the fighting is still very active and moving from street to street and this is what the i.c.r.c. is calling all parties in order to let aid in to also leave civilians and spare them because they are not part of this fight and the only thing really that will improve conditions for the people asuna in particular would be

a cessation of hostilities and then to the fighting. this is for sure because otherwise nobody actually is able to move for instance we received disparate calls from two main hospitals are eligible and that's our hospitals who are actually treating almost more than fifty percent of the girl to is reported and they are in need of medication medical supplies and our medical warehouses the building that the i.c.r.c. has is in the middle of and this is off limits in that fighting and we cannot access it and we cannot therefore provide the needed supplies to the hospitals and this is really important and are you aware of any kind of opinion among the people of sanaa dollar sally suggested that the people of sun are work becoming fed up with the way the hisses were running the city are you aware of that kind of sentiment. well i'm xander yemeni population but if

i'm sure about something from talking either to my colleagues or to many of the people that i managed to need to during my on my almost one year presence in yemen is that they are desperately looking for peace because they believe will bring something positive to yemen not only to this generation but also to the young and other generations and generations to come and the further years they just. ok thank you very much indeed so my of the i.c.r.c. talking to us live from santa giving us an idea of exactly how appalling conditions are for the people of yemen's capital city we're here on set with me is no. she's a visiting fellow at brookings doha center thank you very much for coming on set with me today give us an idea of how significant this shift of allegiance is and we

know it's a very intricate web of alliances but this seems to represent a very major change in who is fighting whom in yemen today. scuse me yes absolutely i mean i think it's very plausible now to for see a return of the saleh era in a way whereby he will be pulling the most of the strings in the country politically and militarily you know we know that saleh previously was a very strong ally of the saudis and a very strong enemy of the hoof these. and so what we see now is him positioning himself as the viable leader of the enemies that will be able to bring the country back up on its feet can then in a strictly military military sense can the yemeni army which is loyal to president hardy along with the forces of the loyal to the ousted president ali abdullah saleh can they combined defeat the rebels. it's difficult to say but i think that you know over the last couple of years there with these have gained

quite a bit of ground and you know they they know the landscape very well i think that it will become a lot more bloody before it gets better and you know had he is effectively has been effectively become a lame duck sort of president and so i really do think that we will be seeing more and more of more of solid leading the way and what about him. stretching his hand to the south is saying that it is time for us to stop the fighting and also appealing to the iranians to go see some sort of station of hostilities i mean all these all these going to amount to anything in terms of reduction or if not a complete stopping of the fighting right as well as you know said let's turn the page and turning the page worked out very well for him six years ago in the transition agreement that was signed in riyadh that allowed him to step down while you know enjoying immunity from prosecution it's all very tactical on solid support

he's you know this is not the first time he drastically shifts his alliances and you know i mean he may be the necessary evil in a sense to bring the violence to an end if you ask you know what starving yemeni that who has lost every single member of their family if if they would accept you know an end to the word through solid they they would probably say yes and of course in the short term maybe that would work but in the long term this will be detrimental for yemen's future indeed it takes yemen back almost six years than that exactly back to where this whole conflict began exactly exactly and so we will probably see a return you know yemen turning back in time and what's ironic is that what started all of this was the massive uprising against saleh all right would love to chew bit more this is a fascinating moment isn't it in this ongoing terrible war in yemen that for now thank you very much indeed know her. the hard thing. you very much. right now the number of refugees are trying to get into europe via the greek city of pak trust

has grown at least four fold ever since borders were close following a deal between the e.u. and turkey last january our correspondent jonah how has an exclusive report on the desperate reality for many refugees and their attempts to pursue a better future. the game begins when the trucks arrive on the outer perimeter police patrols inside the fence the harbor guard. the goal for hundreds of young men playing cat and mouse like this every day is to find a secure hiding place aboard a truck in the hope of being driven on to one of the ferries bound for italy. some imagined better life lies beyond across borders now closed where once refugees were welcomed in their hundreds of thousands. it must be a life better than this surviving between bouts on the harbor for caught in old

warehouses on the sea front. little is left of what normal life once was this is a picture of everyday life for the dozens of men perhaps hundreds more in deserted warehouses close to report wake up eat pray and then run for the trucks and then repeat and repeat again and again. mostly single men from pakistan and afghanistan they fight nightly battles with moroccans and algerians in another warehouse nearby all have the same relentless ambition after sham from lahore has tried twenty times to board the trucks sixteen year old amir sawhill also from lahore twenty four times and counting in a few hours they will try again. outside a medical charity that tends to the sick and injured the majority of the injuries these guys get. when they're on the fences trying to run away from the police hands

on the one gentleman this morning is talking about a military individual and smash his hand pretty well he's going to some of the hospital pressures broken. spotters on the roof send word that trucks are arriving for the next ferry sailing and so the game begins again. like a human time they search and then recede journal al-jazeera at the port of greece now for the first time since the blockade of catarrh began that was in june goal for foreign ministers a meeting in kuwait that's ahead of the crucial gathering by the regional heads of state now catherine foreign minister says the emir of shaikh tamim been hammered will go to the g.c.c. summit which starts on tuesday the g.c.c. is in the midst of its worst political and diplomatic crisis for decades saudi arabia u.a.e.

and bahrain along with egypt cuts diplomatic ties with katter that was as i said in june they're accusing cassar of supporting and funding terrorism a charge that doha strongly denies the blockade has divided the g.c.c. which was established in nine hundred eighty one the closer economic trade and security partnership kuwait which is hosting the summit has been acting as a mediator in the crisis but it's not yet clear if all of the heads of state will actually attend let's go live now to our correspondent. he's there at the start of the summit in kuwait city give us an idea of how how events are likely to unfold we know the foreign ministers a jew to meet first in a couple of hours from now. well it's a pretty strange situation we find ourselves in martin because usually these summits for the g.c.c. and even the arab league are one of monotonous kind of gatherings of world leaders where people know exactly what's going to happen they could probably write the

conclusion statements and just copy paste what was declared the year before about this time around we find ourselves in a position where we don't even know who exactly is going to attend and what exactly will be discussed and that is precisely because of the crisis that you gave an overview about a crisis that has really struck to the core of the g.c.c. an organization as you said that was set up to increase corporation from both from trade and security is something that abolished the borders between the countries in the sense that it gave free movements for d.c.c. citizens and even residents to a certain extent as well as a fact so allowing for free trade and setting up the unified gulf shield or the security apparatus that has been used in several occasions the latest being during the unrest simba when in two thousand and eleven but now that the hostiles those member cities states the herion united arab emirates and saudi arabia have essentially imposed an embargo or blockade the siege on qatar it has prevented food

and medicine and other things from reaching cutout except through other means and prevents a company citizens from traveling and so forth that's really brought into question this institution because not only has this crisis gone on for six months but throughout the six months we haven't heard a word from the g.c.c. as an institution and secretary general because he's the young has not spoken a single word about the crisis has not tried to find a solution to it and in fact the onus is being placed on kuwait's which is now the host of this summit to try and find a way out of this and so far it's failed but the fact that it's managed to bring about the foreign ministers here that in and of itself will be seen as some sort of a success in what's been a very difficult and trying time for the organization on the region over the past few months and says the foreign ministers are expected to meet today in a short while do we know exactly what is on the table what exactly is on the agenda for this very important meeting. well i think because of the sensitivity of this meeting and the fact that a lot of the g.c.c.

as media outlets are not bipartisan in the sense of they've actually been used as tools in what has been also a war of propaganda so the media center and the journalists are kept away from the actual meeting when one building in those meetings are actually taking place at the beyond palace that is their news palace a few kilometers away story in terms of actually finding out what is being said is very difficult because a lot of these discussions are taking place behind closed doors but from our sources and from what we understand there is still a discussion between the leaders and between the countries so as to whether even to mention or to bring about the crisis itself possibly an attempt by kuwait to say well you know one has to strike a deal with the countries to ensure that they come was to say what we want discuss the g.c.c. crisis we'll keep that on the power and all tracks through kuwaiti mediation through the united states and other countries and that's the g.c.c. continue to convene to discuss other pressing matters including trade agreements including the big. plans of setting up

a railway system that connected all the countries the idea of having a single currency obviously in light of the crisis any discussion on that's would really be taken seriously because it's on the g.c.c. hasn't been able to fulfill the basic commitments it was meant to agree to which was allowing for the free movement and passage of both people and commodities but whether that's the like i say whether the qatar prices will be put on the agenda or not we're still waiting to find out as well as the fact that we're trying to figure out exactly who will represent saudi arabia the united arab emirates and the train in this summit which will be a clear indication as to how seriously they are taking the attempts by kuwait to find a way out of this crisis jim our al-shehri in kuwait city thank you. well here with me in the studio is luciano's who is an assistant professor of politics at katter university thank you very much indeed for joining us how at this particular moment how critical would you say is this current dispute between g.c.c.

members to the very existence of the organization well i think it's very critical i think now we are deciding whether they will use or not in the future a lot of people were thinking or sco see that in that maybe qatar would be expelled from the g.c.c. i don't think this is the case the fact that this invited on the other heads of states will be attending the meeting means that this is not the moment in which. he would be. eliminated or deleted however i don't concede that now that situation will be in the future as it was before the crisis now with most conferences where the heads of state are due to attend as we understand it qatar is due to attend the agenda is already worked out the foreign ministers will have done the work the sherpas of the conference will have worked out exactly what the end result of the conference will be do you think that they have already established what is going to

be the outcome of this g.c.c. summit i hope they had something in the discuss in advance otherwise it would be a waste of time i mean the fact that the meeting is taking place for me is a good progress i think it's a good news that they decided to sit together have all states the point is if they don't have nothing decided in advance it will be an embarrassment for the whole for the whole have to assume that they have something they discuss the sidelines or on the table my possible solution at least not for all the problems by the police something very minimal and what you're reading then of the movement that is evident in the region and indeed beyond what's your reading of the current situation as this important. under way. my reason is that if we don't see in in this meeting a positive development i think we will face this is stalemate continue long term it seems that both qatar and saudi arabia are satisfied with this edition they don't

face too many problems of economic level so i wonder if there is no any other solution or any other conversation that is happening. behind the scenes. i think this edition will continue and this shows that there. actually is not having that much use in the future of us as a form of discussion and. the mechanism by which this summit will be will be judged as being. a matter of whether. the main parties can agree. the six principles or some sort of face saving mechanism between them. that this is the third option the face saving mechanism that should be implemented in order to both states should make some concessions and nobody seems to be interested in making those concessions with saudi been satisfied with the current events in yemen right now and with qatar not

facing that many problems of economic or political level. all right luciano's a carter thank you very much indeed. now the palestinian authority is calling for emergency talks over the possibility that the u.s. embassy in israel could be moved from television to jerusalem the arab league and the organization of islamic cooperation being asked to host the meeting u.s. president donald trump is expected to make a decision as early as this week palestinians and arab states say moving the embassy would jeopardize the peace process because it would mean the u.s. recognizes jerusalem as israel's capital palestinians want east jerusalem to be a capital of their future state. we've got a lot more to come on this al-jazeera news hour including we go inside a place described as no man's land where a range of refugees are stuck between me and i'm bangladesh.

you know. it's been a closely guarded state secret for fifty three years weeks well of the size of china's nuclear arsenal and the england cricket is there in trouble in the ashes series against australia jay will have the latest details coming up in sports. so the u.s. defense secretary james mattis is in pakistan he's meeting leaders in the capital islamabad is expected to give the government a hard time on the issue of groups like the taliban let's go live to our correspondent who's there in islamabad. this is been the pattern hasn't it of u.s. pakistan relations forever almost and that is the issue of how far pakistan cracks down as far as the u.s.

is concerned on those groups that it considers undesirable. absolutely for the past sixteen years to be precise that's how long the americans have been fighting along with the international coalition against the afghan taliban the new policy that the americans are proposing after defeat the taliban and the battlefield. on the other hand saying that there is no military solution and as far as the infiltration across the border an american allegations about sanctuary. they've already done far too marked and that there should be no more demonstrative from pakistan their world needs to do more because the country has gone. very large thousands of people in the ongoing conflict that has been consuming not just afghanistan but having its have a good effect on pakistan so there will be a lot of attempts by the americans to persuade the pakistanis the pakistanis on the

other hand will be telling them about their deep reservations because pakistan alleges that the sanctuaries inside afghanistan are now being used to do stabilize pakistan including that deadly attacks against on friday guest of your days ago show differences of opinion and it will be important to see what happens in that meeting which is already underway the pakistani prime minister child called ghana bochy the military to come or bodrog all present at that meeting and kemal it wasn't that long ago i was at the pakistan are kind of basking in the approval of the united states after the rescue of that kidnapped us canadian family when when pakistan was being praised by the u.s. authorities and president trump in fact said that now pakistan was respecting america again. well as far as

people there are concerned they don't trust president drumm he of course has already contradicted himself on many occasions so the pakistanis are very happy with a new south asia policy as well which they say explored a bug attorneys can order for take on the afghan taliban that being the opinion here because they say that if the americans and the coalition of forces allied to the americans have not been able to beat the afghan taliban pakistan can do literally it can however tried to influence the afghan taliban to come to the negotiating table but even on that count bugger stana said that there has to be afghan led of one on if it is going to be realistic so there's a lot of drugging to do and while this is happening the u.s. secretary of defense perhaps a bit soft trying to say he'll persuade pakistan's did cia director mike bomb fail had a different warning saying that of pakistan didn't do anything against those legit

sanctuaries then the americans would do everything possible to destroy them all right now come out thank you come out hyder live in islamabad. now listen a week after north korea tested a missile it says is capable of reaching the entire united states south korea and the u.s. have put on a show of force and held joint military drills involving two hundred thirty five jets and twelve hundred personnel is a clear message to north korea which the white house has labeled the greatest threat to the world. the judges in spain of denied bail to the former catalan vice president as well as two activists but have ordered the release of six ex cabinet members at the same time in belgium former castle and regional president carla spoilage demand is waiting for the result of a court case there he's in exile in brussels along with four cabinet ministers spain has issued a european arrest warrant against the group they organized this is session vote on

october the first which was banned by spain before declaring independence. let's go live now to karl penhall who's in barcelona some granted bail others not by the court in madrid. that's correct martin that ruling has come down within the last hour and a half or so six of the pro independence catalan politicians will be allowed out on bail as long as they post around one hundred fifteen thousand dollars bail surrender their passports agree not to leave the country and also report weekly but the judge decided that for the most senior politicians in jail right now must remain there because he felt that the chances of them continuing to agitate for catalonia to break away from spain were simply too high at the same time as well right now we understand that the lawyers for the former leader of the catalan

government colace pushed him on and four other senior catalan politicians who went into self exile in belgium that court hearing is now going ahead we don't expect there to be any ruling on the extradition hearing today but of course the relevance of all this is that tonight at midnight begins official campaigning for a new regional elections to be held on the twenty first of december in the middle of the whole catalan crisis back in october the spanish central government stepped in and took back devolved powers from catalonia suspending the government suspending the parliament because it declared that the independence referendum that had been held was illegal and so all these politicians both in court in belgium and in spain and in madrid and now facing serious charges of rebellion incitement to rebellion and misuse of public funds if they are convicted they could face thirty

years behind bars but certainly those who will be walking out of jail today will be free to continue to campaign ahead of. the regional elections on the twenty first of december marty. all right karl karl penhall live in barcelona. now the british prime minister to resign may is on her way to brussels for very important talks on the u.k.'s departure from the european union she is hoping to move the bracks it negotiations on to the next stage by reaching a deal on crucial sticking points and those include a financial settlement with the e.u. as well as conditions on the irish border let's speak to our correspondent on the fillets now who's in london and barnaby i'm just seeing that donald tusk has canceled a trip to the middle east because he's describing this moment as being critical in the brics it thought so when we say they're very important that's almost an understatement. it does seem that things are coming to

a head that's right martin today's deadline has been set by the donald to skate by the european side if you like not by the british side the context is this that on december the fourteenth and fifteenth ten days from now there is a meeting of the european council that all the european e.u. heads of states will assemble including to reason may and the british are desperately hoping that at that meeting the european side will agree that quote sufficient progress has been made on these three very thorny issues that you were talking about the rights of citizens rights that is europeans living in the u.k. british citizens living in europe after bracks it what's the privileges legal rights they'll have the size of the bracks it bill that britain has to pay to leave the e.u. and then that issue of the irish border and now the british are hoping that there will be sufficient progress that europeans will say sufficient progress has been made and then they can move on to what the british really want to talk about which

is trade talks and the future relationship between britain and the e.u. twenty seven and the europeans are saying ok we need your final deal today december the fourth it order to make up our minds on december the fourteenth whether you have made sufficient progress barnaby it's being described as the most expensive lunch ever so what is to reason may have to do at this lunchtime meeting with. me she basically has to say how much she's prepared to give in order for britain to leave the e.u. . in some ways yes and i think there are many people in britain who would say she already has given a lot you'll recall that at the beginning of this process for example specifically on the money issue a lot of people who voted for bret's it were very dismissive of the idea that britain should be paying anything at all a few weeks ago it seemed that the british were prepared to pay something like

twenty billion euros well guess what it seems that they're now prepared to pay something like fifty billion euros likewise on the rights of european citizens in britain after brits at the british have given away what seems to be particularly sensitive at the moment is the irish border the irish government of course part of the e.u. twenty seven wanting assurances that that border with northern ireland the northern part of the island which is part of your part of the united kingdom i'm sorry should remain absolutely open absolutely frictionless despite the fact that not only is britain leaving the e.u. but also it's leaving the customs union it says as well and that is a huge complication and remember to reason they can make concessions in europe but she's got to worry about domestic politics here hardline brought to tears firing a gun this weekend if you like in saying don't go too far to resign don't allow for example the european court of justice to have any jurisdiction over britain after

twenty nineteen and also remember that she doesn't have a majority in parliament she's propped up by a small northern irish unionist party which is watching these talks on the irish border very very closely and that makes her room for maneuver significantly smaller than to be phillips live in london thank you in just a couple of minutes we'll have the weather with steph and also coming up here on the al-jazeera news carry proof to heart for the heat that's coming up with in full . by the springtime flowers of a mountain lake. to smoke on a winter's day. hello there let's have an update on our storm this is the system that worked its way across sri lanka and brought flooding to the southern parts of india and it's now here just to the west of india and it's slowly working its way

towards the north now it is moving quite slowly only at around eleven kilometers per hour and it's also weakening a fraction as well that's certainly good news if you're living anywhere along that western coast so this is staying winds currently are one hundred thirty kilometers per hour of course gusts of wind meter with stronger than that but the reason is the reason that it's weakening is because it's just pulled in a little bit of dry air and that's killing it flows and as it runs its way northward it is going to pull in yet more dry air and it's also going to see the winds high up in the atmosphere here they will feed them very very strong and it will essentially push over the system and disrupted a bit so it looks like it's not going to get any stronger it's going to get significantly weaker by the time it makes landfall on like coast now that's certainly good news as far as the winds are concerned because it means the winds won't cause too many problems however it's still got all the moisture that it sucked up from the sea with it and it's got to drop somewhere so all the way along this western coast you go to watch out for

a very heavy rain but the most likely place of seeing for flooding maharastra and also in gujarat and part of the desert so it does look like here things could turn out to be quite severe. the weather sponsored by qatar. in syria citizens are collecting evidence. that bill has a lot of crimes committed against civilians moved out of syria now about six hundred thousand pages of material so that one day they can bring the outside regime to justice it puts a she will face on the charges it's a dead human face but it's a human face syria witnesses for the prosecution at this time on al-jazeera.

families are coping. when my son was a begum is sick and so is her eighteen month old baby yasser. they fled the military crackdown on the hinge in myanmar three months ago the to move refugee camp on a small stretch of land sandwiched on the border between bangladesh and myanmar is where they live now when refugees here want medicine they have no choice but to cross the river into bangladesh to get it. well. it gets down i'm cold at night that's why we got sick and have breathing problems the water is all sweaty contaminated in the camp the smell is terrible we're really suffering here we can go to man mark can we go along. the bangladeshi army says aid workers can't go inside the camp because it is beyond their military jurisdiction. the army also stops people moving into other refugee camps further back from the

border. on the other side of the border fence m e m r soldiers sits in the bush is only a few meters away from the camp of the troops patrol the border fence the ranger we spoke to here say they feel trapped under froid. the bangladeshi myanmar border fence is about one hundred meters behind me across the stream inside this camp which is in no man's land there around six thousand ranger living now the fact that the bangladeshi military will not allow aid workers inside that camp shows just how vulnerable these people are the u.n. says it's working with the bangladesh government on a plan to move the refugees in no man's land to camps where humanitarian aid is more readily available you and i sat at the gates for all ranking officials in bangladesh to be a committed within refugee community especially for those in difficulty reach areas

where so far you and i see it has a plan to accommodate sixteen thousand and those areas have to be accommodated in the extension of could have been can based on their discussion with the government that the priority now is for talks on the death ten thousand of those refugees and the extension of could have a long camp at least six hundred twenty five thousand ranger who fled the recent military crackdown in myanmar bangladesh has been praised by the international community for giving shelter to an ethnic group that has suffered decades of persecution in myanmar. the bangladeshis are struggling to cope the government has approved a two hundred eighty million dollar plan to move tens of thousands of ranger refugees to temporary shelters on an island on the coast but it's vulnerable to cyclons a natural disaster. bangladeshi generosity is being tested. and this means that hundreds of thousands of refugees remain vulnerable and scared

especially those forced to shelter in no man's land stratford al-jazeera bangladesh. now an international human rights group is accusing the government of democratic republic of congo of record recruiting former rebels from neighboring countries to crackdown on protesters human rights watch says president joseph kabila is government recruited over two hundred former members of the rebel group the m twenty three to quell protests last year at least sixty two people died demonstrations began after the president refused to step down at the end of his term because things are sawyer now his central africa director of human rights watch he joins us live from brussels thank you for talking to us and explain first of all what is the significance of this m twenty three group and what who are they and why has president kabila decided to use them to crackdown on his own people. so the m twenty three used to be congress enemy number one was an armed group that
