2:03 am
a look of happiness. exactly what's all about. we are proud at the international committee with the heads of our colleagues, the human you're going to have my city stated this. that's the 1st day we have 2 days to come and hopefully things will go smooth. landing at the same time and aiden was a plane from so now this aircraft carried him and he government officials released by the who fees. they included emmons for my defense minister in the middle here, and the brother of the presidents behind him. of course it's a quiet stick and if it is step and it's the bidding, a damage we'll trust between the legitimate government and dad. he also picked the way to the beach. a plan in yemen un broke a 6 month truce officially ended in october, but still largely holds. the recent diplomatic push comes of the 2 main players and what is often called a proxy ball had made piece last month,
2:04 am
saudi arabia and iran agreed to wednesday, a 7 year diplomatic rift re established diplomatic ties in a deal broken by china. and this is the 1st concrete result of not only a whole my, the mediation board, the iran saw the agreement which was beginning to bear fruit in yemen at least, if not yet, or elsewhere in the region. a significant moment. most definitely. however, finding common ground between saudi arabia and the hutus for a long lasting piece will take more work and more time will returns al jazeera again and is facing one of the worst humanitarian crises in the wild. after more than 8 years of conflict, the war began in 2014 when he rebels captured a capital sinner and demanded a new government. the following year, a coalition led by saudi arabia began and military campaign there against the
2:05 am
wheaties. in 2022 warring factions agreed to a 2 months is by the fast extended truth. in 7 years, the un broken the deer largely held back, warring parties didn't agree to extend it. it's estimated the more than 370000 people have been killed over the course of the conflict. millions are food insecure and lack access to basic health care in sanitation. yemen was already one of the poorest communities in the middle east before the war broke out. while david grassley is the un humanitarian coordinator for yemen, he says, a long lasting sci fi would be of great benefit to the people of yan. the only way to find it to reduce it in humanitarian assistance, is to find a into the conflicts. so we were very hopeful that this move continues the ending of the air strikes the sensational hostilities on the front lines. major major improvements in people's day to day lives. secondly, opening the port of who data has allowed fuel and other essential commodities come
2:06 am
in freely. the economy is starting to come back, jobs are created and that also helps us move away from humanitarian assistance. and finally, the airports in santa as not fully open enough to get medical cases out so that people can get treatment. many have wait years for such treatment. so these are all very positive signs of what even a limited truce can do. so we expect much more with a with a cease fire, a potential settlement and conflict. last year we saw some progress with about 2000000 people. no longer requiring 2000000 people less, no longer requiring humanitarian assistance for food distribution, for example. but still there's going to be a long time of need for assistance as recovery kicks in. it won't be overnight. so, but it will be a good start. we also have concerns on land mines of all across the front lines. land mines, unexploded ordnance remain
2:07 am
a major threat and we see casualties. 2 to 3 times a week. people killed, maimed men, women, and particularly children. so there are many things we're going to have to work on even with a settlement. probably the biggest is the return home or resettlement of the 4500000 people displaced by the conflict. now, france's highest constitutional authority has ruled that unpopular pension reforms championed by president monument on can go ahead. the decision coincided with another day of protest against the measures which include raising the retirement age from $62.00 to $64.00. the constitutional counsel rejected the idea of holding a public referendum on the issue back on, used his executive power to force the changes through parliament last month and talked about the has worn out from paris, with our 100 in front of the infant, joel perez. and what most of them have told us that they are not surprised. this policy is usual council as approved president emmanuel,
2:08 am
my group venture to bill. but that doesn't mean they're not disappointed. all frustrated what they've been telling us. they want to continue to continue to demonstrate because they that if they continue to the person on the french government, that even though this bill will become low, the bob surprise will. mike will be forced to scrap the law. you can even see a strike, a lot of people here and that no more somebody does it cuz it feels as if the government is not listening or seeing what's happening in the street. so we'll continue to protest until the heroes and see us. but this is also sobering. this is, of course, the council's decision is disappointing because we believe there was a legal basis for it to scrap the bill. we feel that the spirit of democracy is being respected in this country. as opening up a sign over there saying o, end of democracy because
2:09 am
a lot of people feel like they feel that the french president simply hasn't been listening to the purchase, the streets that have been happening since the beginning of the year. he's disconnected from the concerns of ordinary people. now, what is clear is that the decision by for all this constitutional counsel is of course a big win for persons of my oh sure, what he says is necessary for the country to sustain his pension system. however, it also moved to the next month and it will be very difficult for him because he's government a public trust. so when michael wants to continue with his reform agenda, it will be challenging. we talked about, is there a well, a suspect in the league of u. s. military intelligence records has been charged as a federal court and boston 21 year old jack to sarah is a member of the u. s. air force national guard. he is accused of unlawfully copying

2:11 am
highly sensitive intelligence send in. we should explain that when it comes to top secret security clearances in the united states. it is not unusual for very low level members of the military, even in this case, a member of the air national guard. in the case of jack to shera, this is a volunteer position where someone would serve maybe once a month be called in cases of national emergency to have such a clearance. but it is not uncommon. however, it is something that is now under review in terms of whether or not that is still a good idea to handle these types of clearances on our uh, sort of a wide spectrum moving forward, according to the attorney general merit garland, that the department of defense is leading an important effort now to evaluate and review the national security implications and most important to conduct
2:12 am
a review of the methods of access to accountability and control procedures that the department has so that something like this can never happen again. we should point out that the u. s. president jo bye and also the commander in chief of the u. s. military is praising law enforcement for their swift effort in apprehending the suspect jack to share with regard to this case. he is also pointing out that the white house is not confirming the validity of these documents that have appeared on line. also acknowledging that there could still be more that could be revealed as a result of the fact that so many were present in the public domain before they were detected. what we do know is right now, some uncomfortable conversations are taking place with partners and allies. given the fact that some of that intelligence that's been exposed involves partner nations. we should also point out that well, this was the 1st hearing for jack to shera. there will be another hearing next week

2:14 am
review the cases before they again come to this deadline. come wednesday evening to decide whether or not to extend this stay. now, how they'll rule, ultimately, that is still completely up for debate. of course, this is the same. 63 had service majority supreme court panel that had removed the constitutional right to abortion in the united states back in june. so this is a very conservative panel that will ultimately be hearing this case if they choose to do so. this was the 1st major attack on abortion from anti abortion activists. since roe vs wade was overturned and this lawsuit sought to remove acts as completely 2 medical abortions in the us. it's the, the, the anti abortion opponents who filed the lawsuit argue that that medication was
2:15 am
unsafe, which was widely challenged by the greater medical community. and by the, by an administration which ultimately asked the supreme court to step in how this will end, of course is still to be decided. the next test we'll see in a few days time while still i had here on al jazeera, the international monetary fund paints a gloomy picture of europe's economic future. ah, hello. hello, please to say we have got some clever weather now pushing into the southeast, while the usaa really heavy rain pulling out to was caroline is said writing out quite quickly to the few showers there as we go through the next day or so. but to dry weather will eventually push backing up towards a ne, big change here. we have had some very warm weather recently. it'll freshen up as
