2:03 pm
2016 un sponsored talks between the yemeni government and rebels began in kuwait, but didn't stop the fighting. that in 2017 who the rebels killed former president. i'll have dollar father have to he broke ties with the group. a year later you and broke and talks made progress. and last year the warring sides agreed to a truce. which last is for 6 months, al jazeera hash mcnamira has covered the conflict extensively, joins me now in the studio, is good to have you on sat hashem. so are we on the verge of a breakthrough? here? we will. of course there have been these contacts going on for a while, but now we got a delegation in santa are they on the verge of a deal? well, sammy, the health is, are saying this is a defining moment and they say the talks her took place in must of in, oh man,
2:04 pm
we're quite serious now in sun i the are with the saudis, as we speak, working out the details of the trust as this is a make or break moment is are absolutely, and they want this to be a permanent cease fire across all e m. and now they are working out all the modalities with the top military commanders and trying to see how to agree on all those are modalities. but how to, so going on? well, when you say a permanent sci fi, we're talking about an end to the war, right? this is not just another one of these many truces. we've had indeed and there are 2 separate tracks happening as we speak. first one is about the truth on this, the health is are saying the insist on some of their, their demands to be met by the saudis, whether the upcoming days when it comes to the future relation with the her thies, compensate compensation for year man. and indication from the side is that this is a genuine attempt to turn the chapter of the minister campaigns started in 2000 and, and, and, and, and 15. as soon as the pin down the details of this truth,
2:05 pm
they will announce a major prisoner exchange with the coming days in 2 days from now. and this is going to be conducive to the final settlement plan, which they hope could start in the upcoming months. it does it look hash him like the saudis are coming round more to the host these demands than vice versa. definitely, this is the moment of the health is india been because the saudis are not walk into the presidential sol wish the back. they're not talking to the earth secessionist in the south. they're talking to the host these for the sake of a permanent settlement, which is definitely going to further consolidate their grip or bower give them more legitimacy and massive say on what happens in the near future. and this comes against the backdrop, of course, of the deal that the saudis signed with the iraq ideas. because for quite some time, the saudis had been saying that the biggest problem we're facing the region is it
2:06 pm
was the iranian rigor. and using the earth is as a proxy. so if they made up with the radians, what's the problem with the hope is or so the logic goes, but take it, maybe it's a good time to, to, to go through some of the demands the, who these want all foreign forces out of yemen. they want the blockade lifted, they want flights resume, and they want access to the currency. they want salaries paid. what is saudi arabia asking for in return? and to the, to the conflict because they've invested a lot over the last since 2015. they were hoping to be able to bring back the internationally recognized government as soon as possible. it didn't work. so they, given up on that, is it simply look, we don't want you to fire any more rockets and drones and attacks on saudi arabia is that it, we, we looking at santa radia is on this unprecedented drive to further modernize the country bill, the country and on this you don the, you don't want to see rockets flying into saudi arabia. don't want to see drones targeting no mere oil insulation. this is going to okay,
2:07 pm
but where does that leave the emily gotten? because this whole campaign started, of course, to bolster the nationally recognize the emily government. if the saudis find a deal with the who thes but doesn't include, you know, where does that leave the emily government? so there's the houses are saying, as soon as we finish the truce, then the saddest should step aside. everybody should step aside and then we was thought or yamini lead a yamini owned political settlement. will all the parties have taught? there's no, gather sion on the health is for example withdrawing from santa or entering and no, no, no, no godaddy's. we are the, the leaves, the emily gum and a very weak position. definitely the, the, the presidency council which is backed by side to ravia will absolutely have no say in the near future. this is a massive defeat for that. for that council. it consolidates that the healthy the earth is i insisting to model when we start those talks with a secession is in the south and with the presidential council, which is backed by we are, they have to understand they have to be against the backdrop of a new context where we have a bigger say where this is going to be our sovereign independent state,
2:08 pm
where our neighbors shouldn't have any political say over our neighbor. all right, thanks so much hash and blah, alabama. always good talking to you. franklin coming in and christians around the world are celebrating easter sunday in occupied east jerusalem. the celebration is happening against a backdrop of growing tension and violence between israelis and palestinians. earlier israeli soldiers blocked young palestinians and women from entering the alexa mos compound before morning prayers. it comes a day after palestinians barricaded the doors to keep israeli forces out. they say the troops wanted to remove them from the mosque, head of ramadan knight, prayers, assorted that has more from occupy these jerusalem in before the church of the settle or city of jerusalem has waters. jewish christian muslim and armenian quarters of this church, disney's in christian want. according to the traditions dated back to the 4th

2:10 pm
it's peaceful here. the few was dead. if israeli occupation forces intervene or put restrictions on the side that could trigger and other tension because last wednesday and thursday occupation forces stormed alex, a morse, detroit hall. his site for muslims during ramadan, unfortunately moved overnight, palestine of worshippers. they also injured tons of palestinians and arrested around $400.00. now it's easter for christians, muslims, or steel observing ramadan and is also jewish passed over. so jerusalem is significant for all but muslims, and many christians here say the alternation was israelis and the occupation forces are making it extremely difficult for them to perform their feet. because of the restrictions and interference rescue selda al jazeera occupied is jerusalem. there have been several incidents of violence in the occupied west bank. israeli settlers stopped vehicles and attacked palestinians near
2:11 pm
a police check point north of ramallah on saturday. witnesses say they stoned carson houses, and the number of palestinians were injured in settler attacks the village of death by law. and while israel says it's bombed military targets in syria, syrian media are reporting explosions near the capital. israel says the bombing came after rockets were fired from syria on saturday. state media there are reporting the al could spread gate is claimed responsibility sizing these railey raids at alex moss compound. as most firms around the world observe, ramadan, people in northwest syria are dealing with multiple challenges. 12 years of conflict, and now the aftermath of 2 powerful earthquakes. north dakota mush reports from it lib this years ramadan won't be the same for over a hm. and, and his family after there to a devastating earthquakes in northwest syria on february 6th. he now stands on what
2:12 pm
remains of his home as learner her middle hair and renewing his at any limit. i lost everything where my house was destroyed, my life was turned upside down. i remember when me and my family used to spend ramadan in our home together, my beast feel it's joy, and now we cry. every time we break our fast, however dumpy, we are grateful that will survive and still have each other. or a watermark is among thousands of others who lost their homes and are now living intense. the earthquakes displaced more than a 140000 people, forcing them to live in camps already crowded with those made homeless by serious 12 year war. families here are breaking their fast with whatever they can find to eat and drink an ottoman database. that was what i was displaced from my home town
2:13 pm
and i've been living in this camp for years. the earthquakes damage many people who came to refugee camps in this camp only hosted hundreds of families and is now as a crowded out of the war. and a disaster caused additional hardships on us. but the only thing we can do is survive. it. organizations are doing what they can to help i'm not one of them is any i've been was taught our trial base to deliver nothing to those who were afflicted by the earthquakes and the internally displaced. however, lack of proper funding, restrict so access the n g o is working 247 to be of help them. however, the you in intervention is essential was the need is still on the rise. despite the challenges, many people have not lost hope. they view ramadan as the month of june, the ra city, as they continue to cook and share meals with each other. ramadan is hard this year for many of this camp, but they are resilient, and the spirit of the holy must continue to inspire hope and they're all city. and
2:14 pm
families are joined together to give each other the support they need to survive. no promotion, just 0. at live. i town's defense ministry has reported 9 chinese war ships and 50 a there craft around the island on sunday. chinese state media say the military is frank to sing and encirclement of the island during a 2nd day of drills. the operation was announced in response to taiwanese president, sighing. when's visits the u. s. tory gave them be reports. all, all those are all due to a taiwanese close god vessel issues. a warning to a chinese will ship, taking part in drills in the taiwan strait. go oh, you are now seriously damaging regional piece stability and safety. please turn around immediately and leave. oh, panel on saturday, the defense ministry reported that 70 chinese jets crossed the median line of the
2:15 pm
taiwan straits. the unofficial barrier between the 2 sides begging says the military is rehearsing and encirclement for self governing island, which it sees as a breakaway province. the 3 day exercise follows taiwanese president, sy, in when's visit to the us. in the capital, taipei, people go about their daily lives. many say they fluctuate between fear and indifference. it's all comical. caught out of the voice of the president, ravens of different countries has the effect of increasing international awareness of taiwan. no, of course, verbal and military intimidation. from china can't be avoided, but i think because the symptom of nation has been going on for such a long time, it's impossible to ignore ha, china considers taiwan part of its territory and has not ruled out using force to take it. but taiwanese considered themselves independent and reject the one country to systems policy. there is a good handle it all, it is all to constantly talk about unification as quite unnecessary or rather,
2:16 pm
there is no absolute need for this. it also china's talking about unification while threatening military action, which is quite pointless. i think it's more important for us to live our lives as we are currently and have taiwan to achieve a bigger position on the international stage. the ministry drills have disrupted shipping and air traffic in a region crucial to global trades, more worrying. perhaps beijing is turning up the heat on another simmering conflict . victoria gates and be al jazeera when can, chow is a former foreign policy aid to present sighing when he says china has been increasing military and economic pressure or on taiwan for years. that shows that the matter is that people power have bravely faced this sort of threat from china consistently over the past 2 to 3 years. now we've seen insistent military action across the pi wants trade. we've seen, for example,
2:17 pm
the chinese engage in naval and air force drills in taiwan. speaks entity, we've seen economic actions and sanctions against taiwan. and this is unfortunately been part and parcel of the cross street relationship under sheeting team from china. last year we saw a bit of an increase escalation from what the chinese system in the past. i don't think we've seen this over the past 2 years. i mean, certainly the chinese never made their intentions more clear, which is that they have never renounced the use of force against taiwan and exercises pretending to strike taiwan already storm by one's government offices. this is we've seen this in the past as well. so i do think that the chinese are be a bit more restrained this time around, but it's also for their own self interest in a sense that we do have a presidential election coming up. and the chinese would be mindful that any hard headed approach on this issue could very well back far in terms of their political interest. here in taiwan still had an al jazeera where in nigeria, when

harmon has more. these majestic wildcats have long been a source of fascination for many people around the world. even from a distance you can sense the power of the royal bengal tiger in this reserve. in india's mahar roster state for years they've been under threat of extinction because of habitat, los hunting and poaching. since 1973 successive governments have made them mission to create a safe area for the critically endangered tigers. and now their numbers are growing . the set up of buffer zones and reserves has led to a flourishing wildlife. but the growing bengal tiger population is coming at a cost for people living near by with the animals rami out of protected areas. local communities depend on the forest for their livelihood. they need firewood and pick them up or flowers every year to sell in the markets. but now it's become too risky. when josha says a bengal tiger killed her husband amalgam me,
2:27 pm
they went looking for him to the edge of the village. when they entered the forest, they found a basket of flowers scattered. there was a plastic bag, water bottles, slippers and floors, but he was not there. they found some blood. the villagers came back, they said something bad had happened. a lavine limited though. if the tigers in leopards killed at least 53 people in this region last year, according to authorities, they say it's the highest number in a single district. one of the major reasons for conflict in this landscape is because there is a lot of for intrusion into the forest by local people for various reasons. and then there is presence of large graduate and most lead they are the are dispersing sub adult gobs that then to get into conflict, which have grown up in no human dominated forests. so they then to go closer to a field and probably do not fear people as much as they should. the field director of the need to reserve suggests there needs to be more measures to control the
