we have met since two thousand and sixteen past talks collapsed because of growing differences between who should play a bigger role in the future of yemen or. the internationally recognized government says a deal will only be possible when the whole thing is had over their weapons and put out of the capital. a demand with tactic by the rebels to say all parties should be prepared to compromise. we're going to talks we made concessions and we want the saudi backed government to make concessions as well the un's special envoy for yemen martin griffiths has insisted there wizard a military solution and that negotiation is the only way to find an agreement but it's unclear if it's will be able to succeed where his predecessor failed the talks come at a time when the international community is putting more pressure on the coalition

to and its military campaign and seek a peaceful way out but the biggest challenge is to convince yemen's warring factions to set aside their differences agree on a national unity government and a transition that will ultimately and the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. the tunnel north of stockholm in the news ahead more protests in france despite the delay to the divisive plan to raise the diesel fuel tax will find out why brazil's forests are under greater threat than ever before. hello the space between rain bites now that runs in from the eastern med or levant to iran when israel reduced i mean this is clearly a size north movement of cloud but the rain is edging slowly towards iran this is

the picture for thursday rain seems likely to be steady not necessarily heavy running through both iraq and northern syria and even southeast of turkey the next circulation is picked up here in southern turkey to produce heavy rain already in cyprus and that's going to swing through lebanon. a whole levant and yet again eventually end up in syria towards iraq at the same time to shower as it came into iran or they're still showing up so they've made some progress obviously high they will be a snow and the tail end ones were shown south in kuwait maybe bahrain but i think probably not so we have just seen come across the border into saudi then disappeared means mostly the arabian peninsula apart from the get a small chance of a shower bunch of beauty or west yemen is largely finally picture once again winds not that strong at least not by the time we get to friday this kind of bloom of cloud in southern africa we see big showers in botswana and zimbabwe recently but

bulls are part of hezbollah's offensive plan they believe in any future conflict hezbollah's going to move the battlefield into israeli territory hezbollah secretary general has. a few years ago. they would know. it. well is concerned but there is no indication that there will be a military flare up neither israel nor hezbollah are interested hezbollah under strain because of sanctions sanctions not only against the group but against its patron iran it also has been involved in a costly war in. syria israel also. the confrontation it is worried about hezbollah's growing arsenal the very fact that it believes it has missiles to target all areas in israel this really is about israel putting more and more pressure on iran trying to prevent iran from spreading

its influence across the region in recent years it has been targeting iran and its assets in syria but it seems as of late the focus now is on lebanon because russia in one way or another is clipping iran's wings in syria it knows to stabilize syria and to get the international community on board it's going to need to weaken iran's presence in syria so the focus now in lebanon on israel's aim is to try to contain hezbollah's growing strength that will not be easy because the group is not only heavily armed it is a controlling parliament and it has the say in the next government thousands of people including dignitaries from around the world are in the u.s. capitol for the funeral of former president george herbert walker bush these live pictures from inside the cathedral where his son george w. bush forty third president is currently delivering the route of completing the majesty of the atlantic. horizon she saw were bright and hopeful.

he was a genuinely optimistic man and that optimism guided his children and made each of us believe that anything was possible. he continually brought in his righteous. george w. bush for insight forty third president summer school of george herbert walker bush speaking in washington kimberly how could i white house correspondent with us as well actually quite rare to be hearing george w. bush has been very private since he just finished as the forty third president to say he has this incredible honor of deliver a new eulogy for as follows. and this has been a very anticipated eulogy given there at times complicated relationship it was a relationship that is not only unique given the fact that only one other family in u.s. history the adams family has had a father and son assume the oval office but also that at times george w.

bush struggled to distance himself from his father herbert walker bush many times during his own presidency he did not welcome him the advice of of his father even as he had been an architect of many of his campaigns so they had somewhat of a tense relationship well they george bush george w. bush was in office but in the years since as you discussed they have been very private and those who know the family well say that their relationship blossomed it was one of respect much of that competitive tension is gone and in the final months in fact not only did george w. bush. say to a portrait of his father but also authored a book about him almost grisha king his father and eulogizing his life something that he is now doing now proceeding this eulogy there were other eulogies as well one from biographer john meacham where he talked about the length of public service

in a life dedicated to public service of bush forty one the fact that how he was traumatized being shot down as a pilot in world war two his two of his crew members dying asking continually why his life was spared feeling that his life was no longer his own going on to an incredible legacy decades of public service as a diplomat as a member of congress and of course as a vice president and president so these are the tributes that we are hearing from those who knew him the canadian prime minister brian mulroney former canadian prime minister at that one moment getting emotional discussing his friendship and. i almost acknowledging the past it was the end of moderate conservatism in the united states he said with many past presidents including the current president as well sitting in the front row as he spoke saying no occupant of the oval office was more courageous principled or honorable than george herbert walker bush considering that

there were current president past presidents in the front row that is certainly a very strong statement but a nod perhaps to the end of civility in washington and the current state where the united states finds itself now it is quite something what we see in these pictures is and it can be as we've been speaking to you seeing the obama it's the clintons the causes the trauma so all of these people coming together on on such a somber day you we would hope putting aside any any political rivalries for the day certainly those rivalries have been put aside and there were questions about whether donald trump would be attending this funeral given some of the tensions that exist between the trumps and the bush family on the campaign trail donald trump was certainly vicious in his attacks not only of george w. bush criticizing the invasion of iraq his decision to do so for example but also his brother jeb the former governor of florida calling him low energy. mung other

names that he called him certainly there has been criticism from the bush family of this current president title trump but that seems to be set aside as they all gather together as the people outside that you can see behind me have also done a very somber mood here along the streets of washington as people honor what many people call it in terms of george h.w. books bush rather the most successful one term president he was defeated by bill clinton but he was remembered for those four years and the contributions he made to the united states family how kids outside of the washington national cathedral thank you. there's a bit of laughter inside george w. bush delivering a eulogy for his father we saw or bill and hillary clinton there as i said the obama's the trump that causes the rest of the bush family members of the supreme court they are all there to say goodbye to americans forty first president george

herbert walker bush. well students so well denmark and not sorry make sure i'm reading the right one of the students in paris protesting as part of a broader movement. shall we doing this story we're covering the story denmark and britain i was right they've been named by academics and top countries in implementing measures to fight climate change yes but it's a totally different story from brazil not only has the south american nation cancelled hosting the next climate change summit it's also broken its own the forestation record more from the clock next year's climate talks with g to take place in brazil but that's been reverse by the president elect's jab elsinore and he's made no secret of his desire to open the amazon to mining farming and done building the world's biggest rain forest is already threatened after

a year in which brazil broke its own deforestation record with latest satellite images showing in a twelve month period almost eight thousand square kilometers of forest were cut loose in human now reports that's five times the size of mexico city. deep inside the world's largest rain forest changeless drown out the sound of jungle animals. after a ten year low the destruction of the amazon is again sharply on the rise and this is the first step logging much of it illegal requires opening roads that then give access to soil in cattle farmers to clear even more. but despite appearances these lawyers from brazil's tropical forest institute are actually trying to save the rain forest there's a block of this park is the identification of the tree deemed apps for cutting but of course they explain that the institute has developed a sustainable method of logging that requires carefully selecting trees by age and

size but. we also cut the trees so that it will fall towards the light it indicates that the force is less dense there which reduces the collateral damage. the system which is now compulsory put strict limits on harvesting no tree can be cut here unless it has a minimum of fifty centimeters in diameter and a maximum of five trees can be cut in an area the size of a football field for the next thirty five years this allows the younger trees to flourish but starting in january when brazil swears in a new government the old system of logging which has little if any restrictions could become the norm again scientists insist that the amazon is vital for countering greenhouse gases responsible for climate change but president elect not all questions its very existence he's intent on opening up the amazon to cattle

ranchers farmers miners and construction companies that supported his campaign the . amazon expert warns the price of further deforestation is too high we have evidence that is already harming our climate system brazil depends a lot on the rain that is associated with the forest. not only because of it. but also because of power generation new satellite data shows that in the last year alone amazon deforestation has jumped thirteen point seven percent a loss of nearly one point two billion trees the reduction of forest cover is provoking. stream drought and forest fires they are actually contributing to c o two gases. it's a manmade phenomenon that if allowed to expand may end up choking the amazon rain forest known as the lungs of the world you see in human al-jazeera brazil.

inside story is coming up next. you. after nearly four years of fighting both sides in the yemen war appear ready to end the conflict government and hooty delegations are meeting in sweden for talks but what would have peace deal look like for yemen and what are its chances of succeeding this is inside story.

a welcome to the program and hasn't it could be the best chance yet for peace yemen's hooty fighters and saudi backed government delegates are in sweden for u.n. sponsored talks to end the conflict the murder of saudi journalist and dissident jamal khashoggi has increased the pressure on the kingdom to end its military campaign in yemen saudi arabia along with the u.a.e. to launch their offensive in twenty fifteen to support the internationally recognized government of the hoody rebels took control of the capital sundown since then we've seen a conflict that has killed tens of thousands of people and left more than a million facing famine the united nations has warned this could rise to fourteen million we'll bring in our guests in a moment but first session one hundred has more from those talks in sweden. for the united nations this is quite a significant moment because this is the first time yemeni rival fashions meet since two thousand and sixteen now as far as the expectations are concerned i think

everyone understands that this is quite a delicate moment but this is what the international community and the u.n. are hoping to achieve here in stockholm they would like to start with some building confidence building measures like a prisoner swap a cease fire there would extend across yemen it would be for about by means to try to consolidate yemen's economy and then they would start a political talks about. a transition to democracy a national unity government that's something that is going to take quite some time because for the time being the government insists that it is willing to forward only with the hope these make significant concessions if the talks for the war there would push with their military offensive to take over the port city of. the whole things are concerned they say that we are the legitimate authority of the control huge area that's russia's front solder all the border with saudi arabia all

the way to the city of ties. but for the u.n. and aid agencies it's a situation that could further deepen the humanitarian crisis which is one of the worst in the world we're talking about forty million people on the verge on the brink of thurmont two million children who suffer from severe malnutrition and thousands of people who are driven out of their homes and villages across the country they see that and the port city particularly against the backdrop of the international pressure building up against saudi arabia and the united arab emirates for the need to stop the military campaign in yemen and and pursue a peaceful way out to the crisis this explains why there are huge expectations here in stockholm about the need for a breakthrough that would put an end to the conflict that has been going on for almost four years now in yemen.

let's bring in our panel now to talk more about this joining us via skype now from london is elizabeth kendal a yale specialist at pembroke college and university of oxford in san our we have her say nil haiti air hooty affairs specialist and also on skype from the swedish city of gothenburg a frog nasr a yemeni exiled journalist good to have you with us hussein and let me start with you that you then i think it's fair to say that no one people are realistic about these this first round of talks no one is expecting peace to break out in in yemen anytime soon these are going to deal with sort of confidence building measures the prisoner swap getting more humanitarian aid into the country and so on how confident are you that there will be any sort of tangible success from these talks . exactly as you say don i think if the parties in sweden

succeeded in building confidence. by like two to talk about how to a prisoner exchange how to keep the flow of humanitarian aid into yemen the opening of the port and other humanitarian issue if they succeeded in solving this then we can see see this as a good step they will solve other bigger step like the security situation yemen the political situation that the transition government but all this big issue they only will be told after build an image because what the boy has done which is different than the previous man is that he wants first to secure yemeni civilians to secure the income of the yemenis and the flow of humanitarian aid because all the toll that we have seen in her in in kuwait and in geneva one and geneva two they actually they haven't done anything to yemeni civilians so that's why any civilians

have to be confident of what this part is going to do on going to speak about this thing to keep them away from this war. to keep this devastated many civilians away from them and i believe that if they succeeded in doing this then we will see a good step that will come of that as we did. last year it was reported that the at the u.n. the delegation only agreed to come to these talks in sweden if the u.n. envoy martin griffiths traveled on the plane with them because they were going through sound the airspace and they will they were worried about what would happen to them there so clearly there is a lot of mistrust there that needs to be dealt with do you think these talks are a first step in in dealing with that. the mistrust is something as a consequence of their last failed peace talks failed once in geneva i think

realize that the u.s. special envoy has to do more to show that he's. like these on the side all are trying to protect that and the east peace talks but i think the main motive behind these talks in sweden is that the huge international pressure on sorry the saudi arabia after the killing of that i'm fortunate to be as tragic and pensions murder of the saudi journalist but probably one of the best things that happened forward of the crisis and you know that because saudi arabia today with the united arab emirates seem to be willing to compromise and see. in the face of the international. pressure on all of that but i also want to stress. the fact that

the. peace talks are not happening as a consequences of of the famine and yemen or out of humanitarian concerns we need to talk politics here we need to understand that saudi arabia wants to find an exit today because it's who is going to turn national. climatic relations with especially with the movement going on in the congress and the u.s. and also the economy of saudi arabia is also. declining because of the costly war and yemen elizabeth kendall what are you expecting to come out of these talks then. well i think you're right to be very cautious i'm certainly not expecting the long piece deals again to come out of these talks but i think it is

very significant already that we have both of the major warring sides together in the same place in the same location at the same time to face each other that is already a huge amount of progress but will it actually move beyond confidence building measures we've already seen some of these confidence building measures what we want now is some time to pull talks haps not to sort out all of the elements problems that the two most urgent matters that we must hope come out of the talks are a ceasefire and some kind of agreement to prop up the economy that's in meltdown because both of these situations the ongoing conflict the lack of a ceasefire and the spiraling out of control economy exacerbates in this appalling humanitarian crisis so matters is still getting worse if the talks can solve those two issues and the other really big questions can come later do you think there is

more of a political will this time around for that to happen i mean a frog mentioned there. the killing of. shoghi. as kind of increasing the pressure on the saudis and we mentioned that of the top do you think that's kind of made the difference here. i think it has made a difference and one of the township of pieces of evidence for that would be the resolution that's been going through the united states senate this resolution has been that before before the killing of jamal khashoggi in march and it did not make it through this is a resolution to try to cool u.s. military support for saudi military intervention in yemen this time it won comfortably it want to majority of sixty three to thirty. seven that to me is very symbolic of the way in which the international community is changing its tune was also seen various european countries germany denmark finland join the netherlands

and norway in saying that they will cease selling weapons to saudi arabia for its war in yemen so i think barry's general will now to see the masses move on and see some real at this peace come to the table. let me turn back to you on this. how do you see that that the u.s. is involvement in this. do you think you expected to change now as a result of. the embarrassment of the pressure that saudi arabia's facing over the killing. i don't think so if it doesn't change after the brutal killing of the knowledge of the saudi deny it for many days and then they admitted killing the journalist chopping him in pieces and what the united states is clear about it's basically the white house statement that tom have said we cannot like. give away the billions of dollars that you are what we have is exactly the same with yemen

most of the saudi. us were been sold to saudi arabia united arab emirates is now used in yemen so is exactly the same case but what has made this situation yemen now different after the killing of jamal khashoggi that international media like the washington post new york times and others but especially british media because they that they have found that they cannot like you know. as they say downfall muhammad bin salon because of the killing of so they found yemen as a case that they can bring to the international media to attack mohamed bin salomon and to bring all his crimes in yemen because i think that they knighted state and u.k. if they really wanted any peace in yemen they should have huge pressure of against saudi they should at least ask the saudi to ease the blockade which is actually is the main killing of yemeni civilians because it's ok two hundred forty five yemeni

civilians have died of the blue many of them children from some of the event of diseases like malaria and cholera. that the saudi direct strike has killed sixteen thousand yemeni civilians just imagine the most devastation in yemen is because of the blockade if the united states want to help be any they should at least leave the port open for all humanitarian aid to come without any of that action from the saudi. not so when we look at the war in yemen broadly speaking a lot of it seems to center around a kind of proxy war in the region between the. saudis and the u.a.e. on one side and iran on the other although iran has has vocalise of express support for the hoodies there's no clear evidence that they have given them material support but is it is it more about this war principally driven by the kind of factionalism within yemen itself and all of the all of the various opposing groups

inside the country and that that's really what it comes down to that that they need to come to a solution. when you raised a lot of points but let me go back to. one thing that you say mentioned that bought the book eight i think it's very very important that these peace talks though come out don't come out with. any peace plan but at least it's very imperative that it has to be opened again and the blockade to be lifted the blockade is killing more people inside the un and that the direct violence when i talk with my family and somehow where the north part that is mainly under the blockade most of the appalachian live in the north part under the blockade my family tell me about food prices that are more expensive than food

prices in sweden it's imagine how life has been difficult the magically of human beings and you know that so it's very very important and i have to mention the blockade and lifting the blockade but that the other point that you you talked about about the different many qualities and and the conflict it's very important to remember that the who are has drastically changed the political fabric in yemen and two thousand and. seven that question began its military operation with political legitimacy and international legitimacy of the un security council with that as a motion twenty two sixteen. that is who should have never been a pita and today it's really out to be and if those are really a collective you dynamics on the ground when you mention that

a venue they have been vocally expressing their support for that but they also expressed that they support peace peace talks and it's a critical actor to nettie that we take this moment where all abused party is and willing to discuss peacefully and and caucus on the. the this conflict essentially began after. these took over the capital sana'a by force in august of two thousand and fourteen which forced out what what was and still is the internationally recognized government of yemen what do you say to that . i mean it doesn't matter if evil like i agree with the hotel or the jose or what happened it was an internal. case that in yemen when yemen we have had many fighting between the north and the stopped on as well the fighting in central yemen

and we had many a crisis like that most of yemeni president i mean in the last forty years has been assassinated in the north or in the south but we have to reach this point of an entire economy that has collapse that entire country that has been bombed and garbage bombing back to the stone age it just only because of the saudi direct intervention and involvement and to be honest with you if we see the saudi why they attack us because they said about that the hotel caused threat to saudi arabia because they are right at the border i mean saga is the heartland of the road just across the border the saudi arabia if they really want it as they say just to attack the how they could have come from the saudi border why they hike come all the way out to aden then to can to try to control all the coast of yemen to destroy all they have an infrastructure their main goal of this is to control the coast of yemen to control the island to control babylon devastate which is which is one of

the most important she belie in the world and this clearly otherwise if they want to fight the whole the they can justify them at the border which the south actually has not succeeded the main goal is to to yemen and the hoses when they took power in into the twenty first of september two thousand and fourteen heidi has resigned after that i think three months he was chosen for two years to be the president and then they extend it to when yet and it comes to that i mean his third has ended so they have to come up with a solution but how did they do want they want to keep going as president and now can you imagine on the top of the three it's now almost four years. without any election without any solution so the destruction of yemen it will not solve anything the whole the actually out of becoming a stronger and stronger every time we know now that they can fire missiles they can

upgrade their weather to talk about it in an involvement in yemen the saudi blockade that hasn't allowed for that medicine to come into yemen i mean how can a missile that's meter long or other. weapons and material coming together if the saudis will allow in food and medicine they have so tight blockade they have banned yemeni to first in the course they have destroyed all human farming industry that the prison industry all the infrastructure water companies already does all these modified what does this have to do with how these i want to get elizabeth kandel back back into this if i can does this ultimately coming come down to both sides need needing to to get something from this to save face if there's going to be a last thing solution and and does the does the global community need to put equal pressure on both the east and the saudi led coalition regardless of who's to blame here. yes i think you're right both of these main warring sides need to be

able to position any outcome from these talks as a victory for themselves but even if that happens and they are able to show that to their constituents then at some points other more in constituencies within yemen will meet to be brought into these talks in order to peace to translate on the ground and the reason for that as you rightly identified is that this ultimately was a domestically generated conflict yes it now has international actors involved but ultimately there are some very serious grievances that he sees half that need to be addressed as other outlined regions that that need to be addressed and peace will never prepared in yemen unless that happens and i should just say that unless that happens fairly rapidly then we could see a whole raft of other conflicts erupting in yemen by that i mean the north-south

fault line outlying regions secessionist movements growing sectarianism all of this could boil to the surface unless progress is made in these peaceful. so what do you say to that is a legitimate concern that if the if this if this war isn't a solution to this isn't addressed then there are other conflicts within the country that could also fester as well. yes absolutely and there is also on a very important stick and that is that the way that you and yemeni special in war it's conducting. crisis is he seems to be having now and the third of the trial and error because the last time he also tried to evacuate some of. the members but he and then he tried another way are having their quita tonight larry if you can't so he seems to have.

a step by step method and that's. really we're losing track here i remember clearly working new york at the u.n. security council when there u.n. humanitarian coordinator is that that we are losing the fight against famine and yet that and the u.n. special envoy seems not to have like a rapid and urgent and comprehensive method of dealing. with the challenges ahead of it's very very important to include all sides because the were in yemen is no longer about just two sides parties it's very important to include all the new different factions inside the end that and and and also it's very important to include the women. and here because they had

a present also like voices that never been included at the other peace talks. hussein was haiti is this the best chance for peace at this point given the fact that the who tease continue to maintain their control of the capital. despite the continued attacks. from the saudi led coalition that have gone on for most for years now. i think the hoti will keep fighting for the area they control as long as it take but the if they come with a solution from sweden regarding the when it hit and cries in yemen on the blockade on the ports and as well have to mention pay in the salaries. paid for two years because the saudi has moved the bank from sa into a den after that i believe that the should be told directly between the who theists and with the saudi arabia we have noticed in all the agreement either that has been stopped or the agreement that has failed before that the saudi has not

a single paper of that it just imagine if they have issue with that with the hoses they do need i mean like a hobby or the government they just big bully with o.t. and then they should make agreement both both should sign in this agreement and then the united nation will so was so but a vice those a payment because if the saudi is not going to be mentioned in any u.n. security council u.n. envoy statement the so he will think that they are not a part of this war that's why they still call it a civil war and it will be exactly the saudi denial about what what they are doing in yemen is exactly the same denial we have seen. in the case all right and on that we're going to have to leave it thank you to all three of you elizabeth kendall hussein and nasr thanks very much for being with us and thank you for watching as always you can see this program again any time by

journalist jamal khashoggi istanbul's chief prosecutor's office believes the deputy intelligence chief made a series on the royal court advised the twenty were both involved in planning the murder turkey's foreign minister is also backing calls for an international investigation mohammad dahlan reports from istanbul. turkey has said it won't let the world forget about the murder of journalist on what is the chief prosecutor filed a request with the penal court to issue an arrest warrant for two former senior aides to saudi crown prince mohammed bin said his top advisor saudi bonnie and deputy chief of intelligence ahmed siri were removed from their posts by kinks a man in connection to the murder of. the turkish judiciary now wants them extradited to stand trial in turkey a similar request has already been made for the fifteen members of the hit squad that killed the journalist at the saudi consulate in istanbul on october second saudi arabia said it wouldn't hand them over. until now we have patiently requested

information about the investigation in saudi arabia but unfortunately we couldn't get any information in saudi arabia always asks to get information from us it's their rights we always share information with them but saudi arabia needs to be transparent to us and to the international community they need to share the findings of these investigations but instead we see contradictory statements cover sobel also reminded the saudis of the need to disclose the whereabouts of the remains and to respond to all demands otherwise we will go until the end but if there is an impasse which is an issue we have been seriously contemplating about and talking with our colleagues these days we will not hesitate to go for an international investigation on this point turkey has outside support we don't have the mandate to do a criminal investigation so we ask we mentioned to the to the to the secretary general that we thought it was needed a crime investigation international investigation. these statements and the rest

warrants follow an announcement by eight senior u.s. senators about the absolute certainty that saudi crown prince mohammed this amount of the killing of. based on a cia briefing the likelihood saudi arabia will comply with a new turkish city quest is beyond the limits what turkey wants to keep the pressure on saudi arabia and has vowed to never give up until justice is served and until that he of culprits are brought to a comfort. and dizzy and stumbled and spoke to me like a little bit earlier who's the news editor for the daily subba he explained the importance of turkey's demand or says this is you know a symbolic move however i think for the sake of keeping the investigation alive and the case itself alive in the eyes of the international community i think it has a great impact on making sure that the pressure continues on riyadh on revealing who the actual and the ultimate decision maker is in this brutal murder

yes it is a. symbolic move when it comes to what can be done to do to d's to senior figures however if the investigation and the arrest warrants. some somewhat they are somewhat coordinated with interpol eventually i think it may lead to something that riyadh would not desire however i think that today's move from the prosecutor's office is also important when we when we analyze it through looking at with what is happening in the united states and also what came after words from the united nations i think there is a great demand for this case to be handled through international investigation from the international community however it took it does not want to be the i think it does not want at this moment to be the leading force in this. i mean also said today that there is an international demand to for and for an intra and

international investigation i mean tookie is being very patient in this case when it comes to seeking to the answers from riyadh but it's it wants to underline that it will not let this goal and it will not let this be pushed under the carpet so it is being very taken a symbolic move with today's decision however i think when it comes to its political impact and. impact for the international community i think it is very significant turkey is focusing on the human aspect where i mean several questions that took issue officials are posing are simply humanitarian or human like questions that concern or maggoty with regards to disagreements in the region of for example with the united states turkey says do not align yourself with a terrorist group that not only is threat to turkey but also

a threat to. to to some of them demographics in syria for example when it comes to the y.p. jeep with regards to with regards to securing isn't for example in the region tookey says this is only going to be. you know another step taken to. fuel call slicks in the region for example in yemen for example in syria again so with these things i think stability for the region is important for turkey and turkey wants to push for that. moving to other news and talks aimed at ending the near four year long war in yemen are set to begin in sweden the delegation has arrived the government side is now flying in from riyadh on the ground there is of course desperation but hopes are growing for an end to the conflict as a famine is the. reports from rimbaud north of stockholm. meet. one of the hundreds of thousands of yemeni children suffering severe

malnutrition is being treated at a hospital inside the clinic is struggling to cope with the growing number of emaciated bodies of the young. as five years old but war famine abunda tradition slowed his growth he may never be able to fully recover. and so. mohammed's health deteriorated over the last year and we rushed him to hospital hoping he would recover and the doctors are giving him fluids but he doesn't want to wait. the u.n. is brokering a new round of talks between the warring parties in yemen in a bid to ease the humanitarian crisis. after almost four years of fighting between who the rebels and yemeni government troops aided by saudi u.a.e. coalition fourteen million yemenis are on the brink of farming and. now many no

less cannot. talk when i pray talks will succeed we have had enough of all aggression and bloodshed we've lost so many people in this war. he met them another minute. the yemenis should reconcile and we should end the war in the ring of peace . it's the first time opposing sides in the conflict will have met since two thousand and sixteen past talks collapsed because of growing differences between who should play a bigger role in the future of yemen and. the internationally recognized government says a deal will only be possible when the whole thing is hand over their weapons and pulled out of the capital sana'a a demand with jetted by the rebels for say all parties should be prepared to compromise. we're going to talks we made concessions and we want the saudi backed government to make concessions as well the un's special envoy for

yemen martin griffiths has insisted the wizard a military solution and that negotiation is the only way to find an agreement but it's unclear if with its will be able to succeed where his predecessors failed the talks come at a time when the international community is putting more pressure on the sandy u.s. coalition to and its military campaign and seek a peaceful way out but the biggest challenge is to convince yemen's warring factions to set aside their differences agree on a national unity government and a transition that will ultimately and the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. the town of rimbaud north of stockholm. the new bar who is a middle east analyst and nonresident fellow at the gulf international forum in washington he says it's actually significant these talks are even taking place at all. just getting to parties to leave yemen and traveling to sweden is

a diplomatic achievement in itself i would even add it's a diplomatic victory because we have seen that the u.n. special envoy martin griffin house over the past several months and weeks in particular spearheaded shuttle diplomacy between scott. riyadh and even washington and it is important for our viewers to understand the chief. negotiator for who thinks this based in moscow at oman where he maintains regular diplomatic contact with u.s. diplomats so the united states has a clear understanding of what to who want and what some of the issues that they would be willing to compromise on so the first step now that they are meeting sweden tomorrow and beginning talks that it is in itself is an important achievement that should not be underestimated obviously everything's not going to

be solved at one set of talks off to four years of war and such mistrust and hatred i'd almost say between the sides is what hashem suggested the first step at least stop the violence at least get the humanitarian aid people to those in need and that would at least give a chance to talk. yes i think going into the talks what the who these likely would prefer is to engage in conversations focusing on prisoner swaps where the arab coalition would likely want the talks to focus on the peace seizing or giving off their control of the port of who died and let the poor be managed by the united nations so that humanitarian supplies coming into the country and who died as the only port which is open because the coalition has put a blockade on the entire yemen so that's the own.
