2:03 am
targeting of the attention center inside the province and the continuous killing of civilians, war criminals, escape prosecution. and consider this, a war crime against humanity within the world should take responsibility at this critical moment in human history, we are witnessing many victims in a statement read on air by saudi state television. the coalition says the rebels failed to mark the detention center on a no strike list. over together. what the hell of the alleged target was not included in the non targeting list, according to the mechanism approved with the office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs in yemen. and was not reported by the international committee of the red cross mohammed laptop has more from san regarding who, who were inside this building, which is the temporary detention center for those who are still waiting for their trials or sentences. and also for refugees who,
2:04 am
who happened to be there and detained. because be there, there is a big wave of migration through yemen to, towards a saudi arabia who are looking for their livelihoods there. and also from there, maybe they traveled to europe and to other countries around the world. so the happened to be their migrants and also yemen. these who are still waiting for this, and this is all due in order to be sent to the big world, the central prison. this attack has been denounced by the health ministry and also the human rights ministry of the, the run by the hoses, who considered such as illegal as a war crime, according to their words. and also the have called for the introduction of escape until these attack and also for others that have been carried out by the is tell you that the quality of the funerals have now been held for a senior military official and several others who died last week. in another,
2:05 am
saudi led coalition airstrike on some on who the members on their supporters joined relatives. good morning, general della customer, john ayd, who headed the air economy was killed when his home was struck in the aerial bombardment. a number of his family members and neighbors also died, but she's gone as a caseworker at the human rights group reprieve. he says the war will soon spill into neighboring countries. if there is no political settlements, the administration, especially the current administration, do not have a shared view with its allies on what does it want to see inside them. and what does piece mean? what does it look like? at the end of the day the, the, the political solution and dies of the many amenities is that we need to return into a political transition that literally was literally collapsed in 2014 after that took over. so now today we're very far away from that the,
2:06 am
the discussions that the, what the international community are proposing is very, very far from providing sustainable solutions for the, for the, for the ongoing, for the conflict and also that ministration. when it came 1st, in the 1st days to the office, it quickly rushed into removing the designation of the of the who sees they remove them from the, from the service a sanctioned las without actually getting any concessions by the who sees. so what happened was that the who sees intensified their attacks on the ritual city of matter and they're actually very close into guessing. it's a matter of if it wasn't for. busy the, the, the, the attack that was supported by the u. m. a risk that managed to bring back to the internationally recognized governments back to the many districts of shebra and, and matter, whatever is the pass is,
2:07 am
is looking forward. i think the conflict in them and has the potential of dragging many years and i think this is what many people do, not realize. they want to see an em, but they don't know how. and the other thing is that yemen is the crucial. com is a very crucial conflict and it has the potential to scale over whatever happens in human will not remain contained within humans borders. it will spill over to the neighboring countries. and i think that is specifically why human is so important. hundreds of people have march and gaza to demand that the error, bleak and other organizations work to end the violence, mbm and the the processes organized by the learning jihad group. it's leaders of the conflict as a matter war that serves only us and is really interest. he said what he called the unacceptable massacres and the conflicts are a disgrace to all who contribute to them. whether by killing or by turning a blind eye. now around 90 tons of us military supplies and ammunition has arrived
2:08 am
in ukraine, tension is mounting over russia. true build up on the border with its neighbour. despite talk this week aimed at the escalation, washington says it will continue providing assistance to support ukraine's armed forces or challenge reports. russia's defense ministry isn't saying where these planes is taking off from, but it is saying where they're going better. ruth? the official reason they're headed there is facts sizes, but the deployments add to rushes heightens military posture on ukraine's borders and western fears of an invasion. russia is sending every signal that it's intense, a serious military offensive that would market 2nd invasion of ukraine in the past . 8 years, but i don't think that's president putin's preferred outcome because a full scale invasion is costly is risky, because there will be a lot of russian casualties as well. the ukranian military is much better equipped than in 2014 western powers are stepping up military assistance to ukraine. the 1st
2:09 am
plane load of $200000000.00 worth of us defense, a derived in kiev on saturday. 90 tons of materials including ammunition, the u. k. latvia, lithuania and estonia are all providing ukraine with defensive weaponry. canada has reportedly sent special forces, denmark, turkey, and the czech republic are also providing assistance. but despite the height intentions, the mood in ukraine is mostly com. a demonstration in kiev on the countries unification day. a couple of 100 people formed the human chain as a show solidarity. despite all the propaganda, despite the russian misleading information, despite old food and pressure, ukraine is united. the give them a holler. in the past, they already tried to divide ukraine. we made our conclusion, we weren't split up. russia ones written guarantees that ukraine wont join nato and for the alliance to withdraw from eastern europe. the kremlin denies its planning
2:10 am
and incursion into ukraine. but in 2014, it did just that annex in crimea, in the process where we talents to 0, samuel romani is an associate fellow at the royal united services institute in the u. k. earlier he spoke to my colleague adrian finnegan, and told him most of the military a kiev received would most likely slow a russian a talk rather than repelling. why these are this 2 possible invasion, or is for russia, if they're word angie grants, the 1st should probably be going through crimea and their existing territories, and danielle haskin dunbar station ukraine, and coming in from the east and over more territory there. an alternative route will be coming through bella rouge because the russians and the russians are close security partners. and by the roosters crashing with poland, ukraine in the way. and yeah, currently over the migrant crisis, that's probably a secondary and less likely outcome that will occur. i think that if russia were to
2:11 am
intervene, it probably won't be a full scale invasion or push for here to change the orientation of the government . that might be limited military intervention that moves line of control and bass. and then brings you back to the bargaining table about nato expansion and other guarantee security guarantees of the looking bar is the military hardware that's been sent by countries like the u. s. and the u. k. enough to deter russia and if russian forces do cross into ukraine, what would be the response of the us, this nato allies? well, the military hardware that the united states, the united kingdom haven't bringing in, as well as other countries like netherlands, which are that the year bring it in as well. are mostly ad defensive weapons. so they're basically aimed at death, prevent gang, and at blunting a russian f f. i advanced not necessarily lead alarms or they're not necessarily of the self variety in terms of drones at turkey's brain again. so they're slightly different in that regard. i don't think that they'll be necessarily enough to
2:12 am
completely stop or override russian invasion simply because of russia's military superiority, but they could help increase the cost of that. it's also important to keep in mind that the u. s. in particular, has already authorized $125000000.00 in military assistance that are biden earlier this year. and now with adding another $200000000.00 more, so it's adding to an already substantial level of, of assistance. oh russia space agency says want to fits cosmonaut has been denied a u. s. entry visa, nikolai chubb is meant to be taking off of the international space station next year. and he needs at american visa to take part of a training session ahead of the mission or also says at hope's. the denial is a misunderstanding. still has on al jazeera, short of medicine on hospital beds, fears rise in iran, as experts warn on me, crohn is bringing another surge into a virus infection. ah

2:16 am
regional capital mckelly for an operation they say is to eliminate the rebel forces . the deputy army chief says the country will not be at peace until the t grab people's liberation front is eliminated to us. top diplomats flew to disarm about this week to push for a cease fire. make any a good in that to get a good mckelly gray. if you open territory, no one will stop us. we'll go in and eliminates the enemy. there should not be any confusion about this. if you can, people should not perceive as if the war is over. it is not over. just a reminder of the key events in this conflict. so it all began in november 2020. that's when prime minister had ordered military offensive against the people's liberation front. he said it was in response to attacks on army bases of a t p. i left says it was unfairly targeted. later that month, abbey told parliament the military operation in t gray was over. but in june last year to gray and fighters captured the regional
2:17 am
capital mckelly by lie that sepia last entered the neighboring. i'm horror and our far regions to the south. in october, the government launched a ground offensive to push out the rebels. and late december government forces recaptured major towns and cities in the am horror and a far regions that forced to grind fighters to retreat to their home region. let's talk about all of this with our bossa hagey gunam o. as a professor political science at the university of toronto, he's joining us from there. welcome to al jazeera sir. so the, the opium military, as you're hearing, is reportedly planning to enter the regional capital, michaela and t grind. and they're saying that as to eliminates rebel forces, do you believe that that is eminence? i'm thank you for having me. i think that is not the kids because although there are some element scenic, your b, i'm hot militias and it's no nation. i just want to push the war 2 walks mckelly.
2:18 am
it's unlikely that too hot been for 2 reasons. as the 1st one is the 1st abby doesn't want to risk a victory, a part of the victory an upper hand. by going to another round about this guy, which cannot be an easy victory. the 2nd of these is, or it may be possible, the international community doesn't one these what i give taking place to grey. as you mentioned that the american government doesn't want these war course to juggle and they not going to stay. it promotes including justice stuff, secretary for africa and the i made a copy present that the for the whole are heading for this. and this over there are intensive diplomatic activities or so by african union. the kidney on government. right. so i so far as shipments have come and gone and solutions have been tried to be found, but that hasn't worked yet. absolutely. i think abby is now listening get beat because of it doesn't of many, he has
2:19 am
a short video of many other country has drought and galloping inflation. there is no, technically speaking to lunch and other major war in chic. right. so i think he talked to the other, the american president, but present biden, which many people simply consider to be a good sign. that me say he is listening. i'm not really saying that negotiations will happen soon or in the conflict with them. but i think there is more chance not for negotiation or it's about when abby says that the t p, a laugh is hungry to seize the national power that at once held in the country. i mean that that's his point of view. what, what do that, what does the t p a laugh actually want? and that is the question, but initially i think by using some military victories, they were eyeing at to capture the server. obviously we're pretend you are capturing the service. you're also adding more liberation army,
2:20 am
but longer people are the largest population leading out on this. so they appear to be closer to. and they took the r capital almost 320 kilometers. but that was in and out. this is not that you know, it's changing so they don't have any chance of coming back and by the capital in your area. but what they can do is, according to some strategists, they can still wage war on the border. for example, on western drive. they can see it was which was in some i'm hired our agents. but other than that, i don't think they are in a position to which another war, another round of water simply marching or hundreds of hundreds of miles to or could pop use right now to lots and that's it, right? but you're referring to what they may be doing on the grounds, but just look at the bigger picture for us ultimately. what is it that the group once in the country? well i think the issue for them, of course,
2:21 am
to have the autonomy, i think, the listing why the started daughter wants to play the r b government wanted to have a more centralized state unitary state. so that degree and was told the want to go for drugs and say she didn't want to be under a government which apparently did dominated by the armada. therefore, i think what they want is simply federal federal system and they autonomy, or was any to be an issue? i don't think these are really looking for independence. i don't think is that is a desire. i and so i will exactly what it was they want is simply not power. definitely because no one wants to be given to budget finance. right. was explained to problem. they've got the data. so what they want is basically, i think i thought of me for the moment, i think if you ask me what, see what i can do, the washing a simply to get access to the monetary on it. okay. people are starving. thank you so much. you want you to think about how she can imo we've run out of time, but we thank you so much for speaking to us from toronto. thank you. and
