a coup in the city of aden. not speer the government had been based for the last few years there are reports of several people being killed in fighting between pro-government forces and separatists. this mobile phone footage appears to show people arriving in the city thousands of protesters have been gathering against the internationally recognized and saudi backed government the demonstrators are backed by the united arab emirates which is supposed to be saudi arabia's ally in yemen. not necessarily in that situation. very important. but you know you're. in the region. and you really. know that you are its own you have your own. and more of. your country i think.

the conflict in today's yemen is complicated the country used to be divided would be north and south yemen until unification in one nine hundred ninety but the difference is never really went away since the fight with the hoodies began in two thousand and fifteen the secessionists have fought for control over here in seaports of aden last week seven forces led by the man appointed by president of the rebel months who are highly as the governor of aden announced to overthrow hardy's government and that major general rule is to be rejected the deployment of northern forces to the south there have been calls since last sunday so it's been about a week for people to go down to the streets to protest and. transitional council has been calling on had the head of government to dissolve and for a new government to be appointed and they are calling for independence as well as we've seen on the ground the clashes are continuing and the situation is. very

quickly now the future of president hadi is in question he has been based in saudi arabia along with this prime minister had been that other who struggled to control southern yemen despite support from saudi arabia. women's elected government was pushed out of the capital sanaa in the north and now it doesn't seem to have a place in the south as well as some of the jarvey the others there. ok to get a better understanding of the recent done us let's take a look at yemen's past for much of the latter part of the twentieth century the country was divided into north and south the north enjoyed support from saudi arabia while the south went from being a british colony to a marxist state backed by the former soviet union but in one thousand nine hundred ninety the two sides united with the president of the north. becoming the leader but after just four years the fragile union was torn apart by civil war sellers forces captured eight in defeating the south and forcing yemen back into

a unified state friction has continued between the two sides with the south often complaining about what it sees as unfair treatment by the north well the south is rich in resources it says the north gets more investment and attention that's led to the birth of a popular movement which wants independence for southern yemen al jazeera senior political analyst marwan bashara says the conflict in yemen is playing into the hands of the who the rebels. the southern part of yemen cannot get back together and clearly the saudis and the iraqis that are sponsoring the war in yemen in some sort some form or out of coalition have outsourced much of the fighting within the country and that's leading to some major friction among the southerners as we've seen whether it is the president and his prime minister on the one hand of the whole country that is a bit had the most so had the and and his prime minister and the separatists if you

will so all in all you know what the arab coalition is calling for what so many people who care for yemen are calling for you know basically let's wait until this whole thing settled the conflict with the whole seas and then we'll figure out what is it to be done in the south and yet the separatists are taking advantage of the fact that there is a war going on with the houses with the weak link being in the southern part of yemen taking some sort of a sponsorship from abu dhabi in the united arab emirates in order to separate so it's really quite sad you know for yemen as it were syria's observatory for human rights says turkish air strikes near a fiend have killed eight members of one family most of them children meanwhile turkey says it's taking control of a key mountain in northern syria as it steps up its offensive against kurdish fighters in the region it's accuse the kurdish group the y. p.g. of using the mountain to fire shells across the border into the turkish town of

killis from killis stephanie deca has more. on. the battle for bush saya mountain intensify don't. the constant roar of jets and artillery targeting this important high point along the turkish border. explosions echoed over the border town of killis drawing a crowd. a strange fascination watching the war unfold but for some it's a little too close to home. even though we are hearing killis we've become used to this war has happened before when i was on the other side of the border still moved to another area for safety. turkey's offensive against the y.p. the kurdish group it considers a terrorist organization is very visible here. is also stirred nationalist fervor. if she.

was. lowered. and this is what that operation looks like inside syria turkey is backing free syrian army fighters and at the moment the main focus is pushing back from the border was the kurdish fighters say turkey's offensive has caused a billion casualties turkey says it only targets y p g positions. but as is often the case in war facts can be hard to come to a turkey's leaders stress that this is only the beginning and they intend to clear the y. p.g. from its entire border area all the way to iraq but the y p g in that area further east is supported by the united states and there are american bases and military personnel on the ground their relations between ankara and washington are already tense and just another example of how complicated syria's war has become.

a. few here if any really think they'll be able to prevent one if putin winning and not a landslide election victory but as darkness fell on a cold moscow they kept their chance of protest ringing into the gloom chalons al-jazeera moscow. mani is a ph d. candidate for junior varsity he's specializing in russian political affairs and foreign. policy he's joining us now on skype thank you very much indeed for being with us as roni was saying there would seem to be a fairly common thing these days there's a protest alexina volley gets arrested he's then released and the whole situation goes on given the fact that the results in march do seem to be fairly predictable what do you think the opposition is trying to do i think that the opposition is trying to challenge the legitimacy of the regime and as you cases corruption is that their engineering is and to a domestic into an international audience by rearranging large demonstrations of

people depicting the regime as crooks and liars which is the most popular slogan encouraging russians to boycott the presidential elections and they can successfully work to lower turnout to a little fifty percent or just around fifty percent then this challenge the legitimacy of the regime will be justified and russia could face prolonged protests like what occurred in twenty twelve and this could lead to his credibility at home and abroad for the years to come it is you know the twenty eight he will cap is coming to two months after the elections in jackson strictly on russia will be embattled in protest and by making sure that this prolonged unrest in russia criticism of deplorably in the great records will be exposed to the international audience and to the domestic community do you think that the international audience has perhaps an unrealistic expectation of the chances of having for you and fair elections in russia in the short time are we guilty do you think of often seeing elections in russia through the prism of what the west interprets as free and fair as opposed to seeing it in the historical russian context.
