a massive project in the capital re yard, rebuilding a new airport. they would like her area to become a leading her career in the region. and therefore, they want some sense of stability for that to happen. they don't want to see any similar scenario like their buckets flying into saudi arabia or the join at after targeted oil installations. to do that, the hope is are saying this time we're not looking for quick fixes, we did something which is going to be permanent for that permanent thing to happen . they wanted the truth and then they wanted the political settlement on the political settlement, though the hope is, although i've been talking to some of their own people to day and they are very optimistic. they say when it comes to the settlement with cautious is ha, ha to be your many lead yamini own. it has to be between us, the islam party and the different components of the human society. we don't want any international interferes, but ultimately the host is what they won't tell you why wishes they all the us,

whatever happens to model, they are definitely going to be the ones to have a bigger. so this is a complex political landscape. the americans failed because it's very complex. the european tried this in work. the united nation has been struggling for quite some time to bring all those parties to come together to negotiate a political settlement. this could be a moment, by the way, when sarabia could be on a collision course with united out of m, as particular when it comes to the secessionist, the secessionist are saying that we are breaking away. we no longer part of this yemen. this deal stipulates that the man has to stay united with the health is having a bigger say, you have this law. how this assessment secessionist. this is why when you talk to the health is about the potential for a final settlement. they will tell you it will take some time in me and more thousands of refugees of crossed into neighboring thailand, there are escaping renewed fighting between rebel groups and man mars army. many of them have reportedly fled from the town of swiss cocoa, of moral necessity. the toyed shang, he's monitoring events from bangkok,

toni help us understand what exactly is going on in that border area between thailand and me and more well, over the past month, we've seen a lot of fighting going on around the door across the board from the town tired of italy, town of mess on about 3 weeks ago, just on the outskirts of meal. what is the miramar town right on the border. there was an attack by korean resistance forces against me and my army positions. we understand they stuck a strategically important hill. this latest bout a fighting knish white cocoa, which is a casino, a casino town, owned by a chinese tycoon, started about 4 days ago. very 1st attacks between the bug of border guard force and the qur'an resistance forces that has been going on for a lot of fierce fighting with support from mere mans military, with helicopters, 120 millimeter artillery. we understand that forced about

10000 people across the border. some we understand have gone back, but others being given temporary, a sanctuary by the ty, auto orators. although we understand they are trying to encourage them to get back across the border as soon as they feel the situation is safe enough to return. but will thailand take in those refugees? long term if need be. we understand at the moment the, the time military had them very much locked down. they are looking at a building some temporary shelters for them. a, with the fierceness of the fighting that's been going across the border. but the one thing tyler wants to avoid is of people coming across for long periods of time in the 198 is more than 800000 refugees came across the border. it's all across the the long border with miramar and remained for decades. 91000,

the still living in camps in thailand and i think tan, i'm really wants to avoid that kind of situation happening again. we have seen this since the military coup, 2 years ago when fighting as erupted on the border. people have come across. they had been given temporary accommodation for foods or some necessities by the ties where have then been pushed back across. and i think the attitude here is very much the same time and doesn't want to get caught in a situation where it is taking people flooding across the board. at the same time, what we see appear to be saying at the moment is the qur'an forces on the board and a little further up to the not the correct forces seem very keen to push their advantage against mer mars military outposts on the board. there's been a sort of a strange balance of power over the last couple of decades where these boarded

towns have been very much under control. the members army, the countryside outside, under resistance force control at, but i think they now feel with the fighting that's wrapped had since the military qu, they are in a position to try and disrupt that. and they want to take full control of the border. that would be a very difficult situation with the ties. however, who have it sort of, notionally, alive themselves. with the jennifer powers inside mer, mom. and he had a very keen to keep stability along their long border when tony chain reporting from bank car. thank you very much. and the 3rd and final day of train is military drills around taiwan. taiwan is defense, ministry reported 15000000 chinese military plains and 11 warships around the island on monday. a chinese state media say the military is rehearsing and encirclement of the island, which beijing sees the break away province. meanwhile, the us naval destroy a pass through water is claimed by basing and south trying to see rob mcbride joined the slide from the south korean capital so raw,
