the question vexing energy analysts ahead of friday's opec ministers meeting with ministers agree a compromise or is opec heading for a splits it could be a short fall by the end of the summer like one point six to one point eight million barrels a day it will take time for anything to filter through say whatever they decide to do in the next few days it will be instant but it will have an impact on the market but they also want to ensure against is that the stock over howie that we've seen in recent years doesn't come back again the reason why there are now talks of increase in production is to jump and that volatility gave the market the consumers everybody enough certainty and sense of security of supply to keep markets in a healthy situation in june twenty fourth teen opec oil was trading at one hundred ten dollars a barrel by january two thousand and sixteen it had dropped to just twenty five

will avert potential chaos if you depart friday and saturday with with no outward hike on the cards then there is an inherent danger that the discipline might be lost that the saudis might go it alone even if four hundred fifty thousand about it and then that you give the pretext to the russians and at the end no no bad guys who've been holding their discipline say well you know what let's let's bump up our operate auction israel the compromise might involve just a few hundred thousand extra barrels a day and there are signs here in vienna that that might be agreeable to all but it's not a done deal yet paul brennan al jazeera vienna. now bishops in the karada have marched to the city of messiah after residents claimed security services threatened to massacre that the city has seen weeks of intense fighting between security forces and protesters just a few days ago people in messiah declared that they no longer recognize the authority of president daniel ortega his pass reform the welfare system spot the

protests by how dropping though has more from the caracas capital. messiah in the crowd was been the site of some of the most extreme and brutal violence that the country has been going through since the start of this crisis earlier this week on tuesday a government offensive left at least six people dead as police forces were trying to regain control of the city from a resistance movement that that formed there it appears that yesterday after president ortega had formally invited members of the international community a delegation from the united nations to come in observe the crisis that the beilenson halted now what we're learning today is that there was yet another offensive in messiah more fighting in the city and and it's very difficult to to to confirm whether or not there been any injuries whether or not there been any deaths as a result of that fighting today but we do know i spoke to members and faith leaders of the catholic church today that formed

a caravan to leave menow want to head to messiah to sort of put themselves between protesters and demonstrators and that appears to have halted the bile and at least for now at least for today but what we're hearing from overwhelmingly from members of this resistance movement in messiah is that these anti-government demonstrators demonstrators would sooner die than give up the city so there's a tension that even the violence has called for now it could spark up again at any moment. now the u.k. is promising to streamline the registration system full e.u. citizens to try to stay off the frank said the government says it wants to make the process of staying as easy as possible but many europeans in fact i'm steve aren't about the future as the fuck i'm a poet. it has left italian composer dimitris colorado in a limbo is among three and a half million citizens living working and paying taxes in the u.k.

who will now have to pass government checks in order to be able to remain in britain after it leaves the e.u. . will have to undergo criminal checks. undergo proving that continuously resident here. will be fine for the majority mother will be lots of cases where we've got lots of new polls and i can fans and i can witness love. lots of anxiety lots of fear. the british government's promise to allow most citizens to stay in the u.k. providing they've been in the country long enough haven't broken any laws and pay a registration fee the home secretary on thursday promised the process will be simple it will have to release steps to which we need to prove your identity the number two that you live in the u.k. prove that you actually live in the u.k. and number three that you have no serious criminal convictions and if we if you are not going to get is that they have to be

a very good reason why not to get that under the proposal the government says they'll be two types of immigration status settled status for e.u. citizens who've been living in the u.k. for at least five years by december thirty first twenty twenty i'm pretty settled status for those who've been in the u.k. less than five years they'll be able to stay and apply for settled status later. family members dependents and unmarried partners who also be allowed to apply to live in the u.k. after a certain amount of time the government has promised a streamlined local digital process there are still concerns for thousands of e.u. nationals that may want to continue living here in the u.k. students for instance are very decided to spend a year living somewhere else or perhaps self employed people don't have the financial records to prove they've been living here consistently long enough to get the status necessary and the elderly people that may have been here for many many years who simply don't know that they now need to register there may be problems

for these and others further down the line the recent wind rush scandal saw long term you came residents from the caribbean wrongly labelled illegal immigrants some were deported despite living in the u.k. for decades the government can't afford to get the registering of three and a half million e.u. citizens wrong in return to reason may want to brussels to safeguard the rights of one point two million british citizens living in the e.u. but without a final deal with europe there are no guarantees. al-jazeera london. now al-jazeera has launched the second phase of its international press freedom campaign when the news is restricted and cent said the press is not free. it condemns the harassment of journalists and urges people to demand to press freedom around the world the launch comes one yes in saudi arabia the united arab emirates behind in egypt began

torture and rampant sexual abuse in secret prisons in yemen former detainees say they're being run by the u.a.e. the emirates a key player in the yemeni walk denies the claims so what will or can the international community do this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program today with me piece adopting seven former detainees say that the united arab emirates is running secret prisons in yemen and

that sexual torture in those prisons is rampant and systematic the u.a.e. denies the accusations were made to reporters from the associated press news agency however the charges highlight both the depth of saudi and amarok involvement in yemen civil war and the brutality that's become a whole mark of this conflict we begin with this report from diana cutting a window into what's being described as a world of rampant sexual torture and impunity these drawings were smuggled out of iraq to run prisons in yemen made on plastic plates with ink detainees held without charge or trial described humiliation to the associated press news agency one caption in arabic says it's real terrorism and another drawing prisoners being transported in a pickup truck are naked blindfolded and handcuffed. seven former detainees spoke to reporters about what they've witnessed they say rape electrocution and beatings

took place at five detention centers including at the iraqi forces headquarters in the country the u.a.e. mission in geneva tweeted that it has never managed or run prisons or secret detention centers in yemen but the accusations don't come as a surprise in march human rights groups accuse the united arab emirates of making arbitrary arrests in southern yemen. we have documented in the past that the u.a.e. is responsible for these periods is over an arbitrary detentions and in europe. for months many residents demanded to know where their missing relatives are u.a.e. military commanders in yemen have repeatedly denied running secret prisons their reporting they had the government set up a committee to investigate the u.a.e. and to unit who flatly deny any rule and use again but abuses continue in all their

prisoners have. rights to. the three year war in yemen has caused a complete breakdown of law and order especially in the south where militias operate beyond the control of the courts and the internationally recognized government in addition to the disappearances in torture there have been reports of executions and assassinations diana carom al-jazeera. well before bring in our guest let's take a closer look now at the conflict in yemen in march twenty fifteen who the rebels advanced on the capital sanaa refusing to accept a new constitution proposed by president months or hardy who was forced to leave the city later that month saudi arabia assembled a coalition of allies including the u.a.e. to support hardy's government in what became a civil war against the who sees amorality troops of forty extensively particularly in the south around the port city of aden in june of twenty seventeen the associated press news agency revealed the u.a.e.

was running secret prisons in yemen and accusations the u.a.e. noise. ok let's get going introducing our panel to you today joining us from san are in yemen we have hussein. a pro who's the journalist from toronto in canada a hashimi the director of the center for middle east studies at the university of denver and also in sana'a a team must marty. from the tacl analyst the editor in chief and the publisher of the yemen post welcome to you all hussein. first how many people are we talking about here. i think there could be one hundred because from the beginning of the water we have heard many. and money claim made by some people in the south especially from woman who are claiming that their husband. has been in but isn't this seems to be that the united arab emirates is using what they call the fight on

al qaida so they can embed as in anyone they want and no one can ask them or no one can there in the south or to say anything to them and this is to be honest is the same what the united states has been using they can detain anyone around the world and they can say we are fighting al qaeda and i've seen on social media even before this report that many brought us there from women and children and families of this has been held for a month now some of them has exceeded the two to three years they brought us to aden in other city in the south but there was kind of a blackout of the outside media in the united arab emirates of course will not let any media outlet in the south to cover this. crime that is done against but isn't as clearly hussein social media is not a reliable source and i take on board what you're saying of course but we maybe

have to issue a little bit of a housekeeping notice here wrapping up our entire discussion with one big allegedly . also in sana'a one identifying factor here is the accents of the people who are doing the torturing the accents apparently come from the u.a.e. are you convinced that that is factually correct that's the. information that we received a couple of months. go that these private prisons of secret prisons are being run by a coalition forces led by the u.a.e. but also with the with the knowledge of the us government as well but the torture has been taking place by the u.a.e. forces and its allies. but again this is information that we received a couple of months ago from reliable sources or military sources sources who are close to the u.a.e. forces in aden. these are still claims and allegations the international

recognized government of president hadi needs to investigate these cases sadly their government is weak in aden and don't have any or much authority there but these claims are serious they need to be taken seriously and independent investigators must be allowed to visit these prisoners in order to see if these claims are true or not sometimes even if the government does investigate the truth is sometimes hidden so international n.g.o.s human rights watch amnesty access etc these n.g.o.s must be given the chance to visit the prisoners in these prisons and talk to them and see what their comments are because right now everything is still great. very serious accusations but these prisoners must be visited and be treated legally because sometimes stupid claims or under terror and in the end it's not terrorism it's just his link to the muslim brotherhood party or the human

rights of islam or others so. and not only investigation but also the families must be aware where this prison is ours. even rights organizations must visit these prisoners and listen from them and talk to them see what their comments are to ensure that everything in the second place is legal and under the international law not to hush me into wrong so this is clearly a war crime but the idea of layering in on top of that sexual abuse that gives it a whole new sinister dimension right and it's nothing i think that should shock anyone who studies and follows human rights practices in the middle east the united arab emirates has quite a sordid and horrific track record in terms of the use of internal repression and torture within its own territory so now that it's actually engaging in torture outside of its territory in a location where it is actively involved in a war comes as no surprise this is in many ways part and parcel of

a consistent policy of repression that we've seen from the united arab emirates both within its own territories and other parts of the arab world who are as deeply invested. also insana your sources and your reporting what are you getting the sense of in terms of how far up the command chain this is being paid how far up the command chain is somebody saying yes this is the way to go because presumably some weird level the justifying this themselves by saying this is torture it's an evolution of torture and we're doing it to quote extract information from people. i mean of course they will say that the information from the people but if you have not the right to detain someone for many many months without any. like without putting him into into justice on i think all this is to blame on. the government and i want to just to mention

that the minister of. interior minister of the government that riad has said two months ago that all prisons in the south is under the control of united arab emirates they are in control of the security forces of the port authority this prove that their claim of they not united arab emirate mission in geneva when they said about this report that there is no it isn't run by united arab emirates in yemen and all but isn't run by yemeni government and this show that the yemeni government actually cannot do anything to stop to stop this but all this blame on the united arab emirates that it will actually is bring in those that take those prisons into yemen if it might remind us with the guantanamo bay to mind us with abu ghraib and united states used to take but is not as and so called it tension

events and flights to bring them to other countries to now the united arab emirates is doing it exactly in yemen and i would just add one thing about when i said about the social media so tell me. and this time is the only blot forum for the ordinary people the only product black vote for poor people and we've seen the effect of social media do it in a best bring but what i said about the social media because all this report that has been said now in the associate breast and other agency is we have been hearing this in yemen for forty edits but because united out of him out of actually doesn't allow some time anyone to cover this and do it in watching all the other t.v. channel about this latest report i haven't seen anyone for example from the south who can talk about it because if someone would be if he would mention anything against united out of him out of he would be sacked we remember one minister of the government who has criticised united out of it for not not letting heidi go back on

set and then his name is salas so yeah he what he was forced to resign another the deputy prime minister of been done it as well when he criticised united arab emirates he was forced to resign and his name obliges you body this show you the present with you and. what you're saying about social media but unite the reality of social media anyone can set up a fake account we can never sort of you know nail down the provenance of individual people as they are operating inside the echo chamber of social media a key moment mari what was your reaction this time last year almost to the us reaction when it said well we haven't seen any evidence of torture we haven't seen any evidence of secret prisons. i was surprised that there were so frank and the reason why there's no evidence is because they're hiding the evidence yes they do a good job in hiding the evidence but that does not mean that it's not there. but

this is expected in a country where it's lawless right now a police governments are running the country whether in the in the north on the south whether in aden and thais or also in sana'a when you have a police government that's very rare do you see people condemn or go against the rule of of those in charge so violations do happen whether in the north and the south but the what what you want right now is that this is very serious a big difference between normal torture and rape. it's unbelievable that this is happening in yemen. and while the international community is basically staying quiet because this coalition has the umbrella of the u.n. so these allegations must be taken seriously over the last couple of months it's been witness that the u.a.e. has been trying to polish its image and in yemen especially in the south of yemen

after the previous claims but this comes as a big blow and again these are just allegations right now and claims. we need to create a investigative committee to investigate this is of the plan right now yes how this government is weak and because of this its weakness it cannot do that it needs international pressure on you. and pollution leadership to get to the bottom of this to find out this is real or not and to make sure that those who are involved in such matters should be. they can. punish for it because these families have hundreds and hundreds of innocent civilians with very simple claims whether in the north also in the south the simple claims and sometimes you're in prison for months and months without anyone following up for you and why you're there and if it could happen to you and this is the result of a non-government or. a real government not being in control of the entire country

committees must be formed immediately will come on to the idea of pressure and whether people be held accountable or not in a couple of moments but not a hashimi in toronto first and foremost as well there are eighteen prisoners at the moment who are members very specifically members of al qaida and held because yemen the yemeni war is one of the most complex conflicts across the world wherever you go yemen is the high watermark of complexity i guess always saying ok we extrapolate what we're saying to define that this element of torture the sexual abuse of inmates is going on in a more widespread manner why as you you know correctly stated peter we don't know for sure because social media is not an accurate source for. judging these questions but given past practice that the u.s.

is known to engage in in terms of its own repression internally within the united arab emirates and given the policy of systematic war crimes that saudi arabia and the u.a.e. have been charged with in terms of how they're prosecuting the war in yemen i'm not surprised at all that these reports have surfaced i suspect that when all is said and done and when you have independent human rights investigators looking at what's happening in these prisons the actual depth and breadth of the torture will probably be much more widespread than has been reported and that's because exactly what you allude. to a moment ago from a previous guest in sanaa that the constraints that previously existed on the united arab emirates in terms of the united states his policy toward the region and toward the u.a.e. in specific specifically have been lifted the trumpet ministration you know openly backs the war in yemen donald trump during the campaign for president openly

claimed that he supported torture and some now the u.a.e. feels it's in the driver's seat you can do whatever it wants there will be no constraints placed on it and if you just carry on in this reckless way regardless of the consequences hussein. proving allegations is one thing. bordering on near impossible mr hardy this time last year and the off the month of the original a.p. revelations and claims mr hardy had promised an inquiry do you think that will go. i mean we have experience with. the evil when he was in sanaa. like two years before the war we have seen many. many crimes like that the attack on a hospital in sanaa that killed and injured over one hundred. doctors and patients said we will investigate that they held some of the people who were responsible of that and since then we haven't heard anything of that this is all what's been

happening in yemen they always make they say a committee to investigate but this committee will never see the light and if there was a committee forward only on the media then they unite out of him out of this idea that coalition will not let the that is the results of this committee to come to light because this was done and i didn't think that the united arab emirates would let anyone which is on the support of someone who they ought to back and they would never let him damage that it would they said as i mentioned two of the ministers ok that is i then they were forced to resign and this will be. anyone and how they did actually to condemn that addictively they united out of him other than i think he cannot stay in power they can just replace him by any way with i mean they did with those ministers on the floor of the photo but i mean is that is that in the or in yemen not a question in toronto coming to you again there is this base the base apparently

reportedly allegedly u.s. personnel were sent there part of the murkiness of this surely is that depending upon which website you look at depending upon which bits of social media you catch up with they are either there in a semi official role or they are mercenaries and nobody is telling anybody else whether they are or they're not. you're right we don't have the full picture here but i suspect the united states is deeply aware that torture is taking place at these prison sites and that you bomb and that the trumpet ministration is actually you know looking the other way in other words indorsing these types of practices because it effectively has the truck administration that is has the exact same regional view and the exact same interpretation of the conflict in yemen as the united arab emirates does and as the kingdom of saudi arabia does so the united states i think is deeply complicit we don't know the extent and the depth of the complicity but that can only be determined after an independent investigation came

the u.s. defense secretary should report back but i think it's august the twelfth thirteenth fourteenth because in the middle of may of this year he was given the job of actually come up coming up with a definitive take on what is going all in the yemen given that it's so murky given that there is black operations going on in the country and there are so complex what are the chances that he actually has enough time to put together an accurate interpretation it's not a matter of time it's the matter of will. do they have the will to take this seriously right now the problem in yemen is that very very limited media outlets and the national media outlets are allowed to into yemen whether in the north or the south so the lack of international presence whether human rights organizations or international media this gives. these sides who are in control a green light to react freely because there's no pressure right now if we want to go forward with this. the first step is not to the president hadi appear with any

inquiry commission the u.n. must take a stance announce that to open an investigation on this and allow. human rights organizations to visit these prisons and investigate that's if you want this matter to be taken seriously so it's not a matter of time there's a lot of time but is there will. government knows about many of the practices that are happening in the south are going on there that are illegal but the times are as your guest said trump is with that president trump is with it and does not. reject it and the same time this will also hurt the u.s. reputation so they have to stand aside the u.n. muster just a strong stance and the from there the u.n. three is an independent committee to investigate and visit these prisons because you cannot count on president hadi and his government as we all know they are weak in the south and have no authority as of now who's in albuquerque what are the

chances here that the u.n. does something this time yesterday on this program we were discussing the way that the united states has pulled out of the u.n. human rights council so arguably the council never had enough teeth anyway and the u.n. is kind of fighting lots of different fronts here. and human rights council is actually a cannot do anything because if they try to form any investigation team to be sent in yemen like they tried in geneva i had to go it was blocked by the united states and by of our other country and united states has appointed the saudi to head the human rights panel in geneva during the war in yemen so i don't think the united nation can do anything because if they if they couldn't do anything to investigate all crimes done in yemen either by jose or by the saudis that coalition which is much bigger than what's happening now in. this prison i don't think that anything

will have been in the future and i want to just do one more important thing we have seen do this blast take a plate with this prisoner in the united arab emirates prison have drone how they are subject to sexual. sexual harassment. that they they they they may maybe have smuggled that then inside they have no paper and they took a risk to smuggle this outside the prison and just imagine if nothing has been will will not be done to those people in those prison this me that the united arab emirates will what will triple. their sexual torture to this people because they will try to find out who has drawn this who has brought them out and i'm calling the united nation to do something because if they don't do anything then this mean that this report will be just will backfire and it will result in more torture for all those people who are in prison in south yemen. what are the chances that

anybody is held accountable for this when i think the likelihood is quite minimal but i think it's directly proportional to this story gaining greater global visibility and complicit. and i think one way forward of really trying to mitigate these types of gross human rights abuses is to really try and get the e.u. ninety eight states senate to get involved for those people following the conflict in yemen the united states particularly the senate has been very outspoken critical of the u.s. role in supporting the emmer ati's and the saudi war effort in yemen earlier this year the senate came very close to passing a resolution blocking american insistence to the saudi and ever rocky war effort in yemen so there's several senators led by senator chris murphy of connecticut and bernie sanders of vermont who are very principled on the question of yemen if they were to i think take this issue on they have the opportunity and the possibility of

holding congressional hearings inviting people from the state department from the white house from the pentagon and asking them pointed questions to what extent is the united states involved in these types of tortures that could shine a global spotlight on these abuses that might lead to their mitigation gentlemen we're out of time thank you to all i guess the day to say in albuquerque not a show me and hakeem must maria thank you to you too for watching the program you can see the show it again any time to the website called in for more discussion check out our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. the inside story can also join the conversation on twitter at a.j. inside story or tweet me i'm at peta don't be one for me peta they'll be on the entire team here in doha thanks for watching we'll see is a bubble. unpack

it for us what will you hear and what will you sing whether online horrendous things humans will disturb as i was looking for doubt about that or if you join us on sat a lot of the major countries in the commonwealth how far bigger fish to fry and chips to eat bass is a dialogue talk to us about some of this success if perhaps everyone has a voice what happens when the robots themselves are making the decisions join the colobus conversation amount is iraq. again stand as the dance geology of both resources and i refer to why are they so poor the measuring. which finally form a government that. the toxin went essentially nowhere and the more we would push

them the more they push back we knew it was coming depression was to be sent in wait or do we surprise them with a preemptive strike on the body. analogy zero. and i'm heading home and in doha the top stories here on al-jazeera this confusion over the fate of more than two thousand migrant children spits up from the families by u.s. immigration offices president will trump signed an executive order on thursday to end the practice he says he wants to reunite families but officials have been sending contradictory messages everyone is on to has more from mccallan texas where many migrant children are being held. and not only do we not know any more details

the people that are supposed to be implementing this reunification don't know a lot of the details and that's just a fact from all we're seeing here on the ground in macallan texas here and that's the big problem we had president trump sign this executive order and he said i think if we for he signed a lot of people are going to be very happy with this i could tell you nobody's really happy with this because we have seen no at least here because we have seen no reunifications we've seen no happy children being reunited with their parents at all the big problem is they're just so many different government agencies that have some sort of hand in this the border patrol homeland security health and human services which is the main agency holding these children these are multiple agencies they're all looking at each other saying how the heck are we going to reunite children that are detained thousands of them with parents that are in the criminal justice system some parents who are spread out in facilities all over texas and other places and some of these parents have already been deported back to

central america where most of them are from so this also involves potentially the state department getting involved it is in one word or two or it's a mess and even people here they're trying to implement this they might not come out and say that but it's pretty darn clear that there is just no plan in place or if there is it just hasn't been executed yet and they're still trying to to just make this up quite frankly as they go along to clear the clear thing from here is that this was a crisis yesterday it's a crisis today and it's very clear it's could be a crisis tomorrow and in the days weeks and maybe even months ahead and the first lady malani a trunk made a surprise visit to a shelter for child migrants at the us mexico border but what was supposed to be a trip of compassion turned into a p.r. disaster after she wore the jacket with the message i don't really care do you.

now delegation of u.s. mayors have also traveled to texas demanding washington find a solution children are not poker chips people and we demand that washington fix the mess that has created the president retreated today is not solve the problem we're all saying that zero tolerance still exists that's breaking an american tradition of respecting people fleeing oppression the families are not reunify we don't know when they'll be we're going to fight for that eurozone finance ministers have agreed on a deal to get increased out of its eight year bailout program athens will now be able to delay repayments on billions of dollars in loans by ten years it also got another seventeen point four billion dollars on the wife of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been charged with fraud sara netanyahu is accused of misusing one hundred thousand dollars of state funds to provide catering services.

later as in never it was two of my best friends from school for a wide range of people and though you know eighteen year old university students retirees and anything that we have in common was that none of us had experience working with refugees before. i can't stress enough the remoteness of the location and. it's in the middle of the pacific ocean . it's an island of ten thousand people and takes twenty minutes to drive around the island it's extremely hot. humid. just how poor the island is. in these trying to mccombs the known government and says we're going to a few billion dollars over the next seventy years to has a few thousand asylum seekers for a failing economy like never i can imagine it would seem like a very. good option. on
