9:50 pm
just weeks after the u.a.e. started drawing down its military presence in yemen the biggest attack happened at a military base used by emirates he trained forces in the port city of aden at least 30 people are confirmed dead earlier in the city there was a coordinated bomb attack on a police station during morning roll call at least 10 people were killed no group claimed responsibility however the fighters also announced a further attack saying they'd fired a long range missile across the saudi border at a military facility in. speaking to our correspondent mohammed 1st in santa cruz he's carrying out attacks both in yemen and outside the country with a warning of more to come. yes such attacks reveal that the whole fees have become able to attack and target different military positions whether inside the country like what happened to day morning
9:51 pm
when the attack today are gathering of military personel. according to the how these were preparing to. a wide scale operations. and language against how things said that send sends a message to the united. states which has started pulling out its forces. from the southern areas that the view will they will head their hearts in case that the will continue their presence and perspiration of the united saudi quality campaign also the send another message that the saudi arabia when they attack the. military position there in the kingdom they want to also to send the message that the according to the healthy military spokesperson that the the wall they will continue more attacks in saudi arabia and also inside the country until they they
9:52 pm
describe this saudi united arab emirates military campaign an aggression according to their terms. so far the also the other which has taken place in aden which is a to the west to the west side of the city where they have targeted. the. police station where at least 10 people have been people have been killed in that attack these rebels also another kind of penetration or a united states and saudi arabia as a village quo. not in control of the city itself where this attack called the fingerprints of the qaeda or the us ok mohammed thanks for that live update from santa let's get more on this joining us here in jobs where he is the
9:53 pm
director of the gulf study center at cattle university much of welcome back to the news it feels as if the who sees our newly emboldened by something if they are what's it all about. you know if you look at what happened today in both in in yemen and also and aden and also in the mountains with it it's very clear that when it comes to aden there was a security vacuum after the iraqis left the south of yemen and that's that's simply because there was no outrage went with the central government which is a legitimate government led by. the president which basically stays in riyadh and there is no arrangement even with so this so that security vacuum left lead to that you know there is also a division within the forces on the ground who's who's actually lead who can say the final word who can you know secure the place there was
9:54 pm
a few groups there are divided but they are they have linked to do so all of this this you know did help. to do what they have done today and to send a message or from that look you know the south of yemen is not stable stable and without us being on the rise if those individual sort of pockets so different groups on the ground fracturing and continue to fracture how much of a tilt in the wrong direction does this push the conflict and i say the wrong direction advisedly as far as the saudis a concern i'm sure such an operation today wolf there will be more to come because with the with the absence of the central government with. a lot of coordination between so does and the legitimate government with the the power that those 2 groups what so-called in academe and a state actors on the ground how they you know where there are tribes or other
9:55 pm
groups because they are empowered by the united arab emirates in the last 34 years and they are empowered basically military internal military in terms of money and they create sort of this kind of linkage between a group of people in different places with the absence of central government you know trying to control all of this of course this operation will be repeated of course there will be more instability and in other places and i think there will be more demand even to international community to intervene so they can push through the security council or the other forces you know the least of them are to be aiding in a way or other so they can control the security now than otherwise south of yemen it will be another chaos ok situation more chaos still to come that seems what you're saying to us we get that but it occurs to me that the u.a.e. must have known that if they do a drawdown they're leaving a vacuum that vacuum generates more chaos more uncertainty but who's taken that
9:56 pm
decision as far as the u.a.e. forces are concerned because 6 months ago the u.a.e. were in there they were going to stay there was that alliance with the saudis a year ago 18 months ago 2 years ago they were in there they were going to stay it's not for get from the beginning from the you know the 1st minute they're neither a minute has the agenda comparing with the saudis and yemen as a whole and iraq is work in 2 main factors one divide and rule so basically having different factions and the groups and supporting them financially and militarily and other hand they are looking for the fire economic interest in different places in yemen that was different over so these are looking for so it in reality there was a different agenda and that was. yes but no there was no statement from 2 parties about this kind of division and different agendas however i think the decision made by her it made so look there was no no evidence that the about coordination with the up there is no such you know says that you know that.
9:57 pm
and so these forces will be sent there or the legitimate government will send its forces that nothing of this happened overnight the americans decided to the dro they basically replace their own forces with the $80000.00 forces non-state actors militarized supported by their moralities divided them in different places so they can control the security situation there they are not related to the government they have they basically are looking. for their own economy interest that is nothing about the role in south of yemen and i think that cause all of this. major problem in yemen as a whole and in a particle thank you so much we appreciate time. rwanda has closed its border with the sea the democratic republic of congo because of the boehner crisis the congolese president's office said it regretted the decision one year old girl has now become the 1st patient to die from the virus in the congolese city of goma
9:58 pm
close to the border with rwanda on 1800 people have died since the latest outbreak began a year ago catherine soy joins us live from nairobi now catherine the border we think is closed over large stretches to be know how long busy it will stay closed for. we don't know how long it will stay closed for right now there is a press conference that is about to happen in rwanda the press conference is being held by a round and government officials and w.h.o. are representatives as well so it will be interesting to see what will come out of that but as you mentioned there's a lot of us patente that border between the r.c. and rwanda lot of people that we've talked to on both sides not really sure what to do they're stuck this is a very busy border more than 50000 people use it every day and it's a trading harbors while they use it for trade we have expired trades who work in goma and then go back to who and where they leave and we have also wonders you have
9:59 pm
a lot of businesses in goma as well so this is an issue that is causing a lot of concern to many people and if you remember when the w.h.o. declared. a public of margins of international concern it want countries against this against closing borders saying that it might make the situation even worse because now people might resort to using more informal crossings where there are no proper medical checks and all this peter comes at a time as you mention that a 3rd a bullet death has been confirmed this little girl a one year old was tested positive of a boy yesterday has been in a treatment center and now she's dead her mother is in an isolation unit waiting for her results her father died on wednesday. this is the clinic in goma where the man sought help before he died he fell sick days after returning home from an infected area where he was working in
