. the 1st to be freed were transported on flights between the who, the controlled capital center and aiden, where the internationally recognized government is based, where we challenge reports center international airport in yemen. the men leaving this plane are returning to freedom. their histories released as part of a prisoner swap between saudi arabia and the iran back, whose he rebels. so go ahead now go over that. we're happy to return to the capital summer after we were in the prisons of the enemy. we frank, apple. malik al, whose the, whose corporation on the kitten this asked of these prisons. oh, it's a huge moment for them personally. but it's the realization of a political breakthrough to around $900.00 prisoners will be released in the exchange. it's part of a deal, reach negotiations between the 2 sides seeking an m to the near 9 year war mediated by a man. the international committee for the red cross is the seeing the prisoner swaps

look of defense saved. now the look of happiness. exactly. what's all about? we are proud at the international committee with the heads of our colleagues of the human, you know and talk about that. he said that 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 hoofs. they included emmons, former defense minister in the middle here, and the brother of the presidents behind him. of course it's yet quite significant step and it's he bidding a damage we'll trust between the legitimate government and dad. he also passed the way to the piece, a blad, indiana human view, and broke in 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 will have made peace. last month, saudi arabia and iran agreed to wednesday, a 7 year diplomatic rift and reestablish diplomatic ties and a deal broke by china. this is the 1st concrete result of not only whole my name, the the ation bod, the iran solid, the agreement which is beginning to bear fruit in yemen at least, if not yet elsewhere in the region. a significant moment. most definitely. however, finding common ground between saudi arabia and the who t's for a long lasting piece will take more work and more time will re talents. i'll just hear liam is facing one of the was humana, tearing crises in the wild after more than 8 years of conflict. the war that began in 2014, when the rebels capture the capital finance and demanded the new government. the following year coalition that by saudi arabia began

a military campaign against the fees. in 2022 warring factions agreed to a 2 month. she's fine. the 1st extended truth that in 7 years the one broken deal largely held, but warring parties didn't agree to extend it. it's estimated now that more than 370000 people have been killed over the course of the conflict, millions of food and secure. and like access to basic health care and sanitation, human was already one of the poorest countries in the middle east before the war broke out. well, david grassley is the un humanitarian coordinator of ellen. he says, a long lasting sci fi would be of great benefit to the people that 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 porter, who data has allowed fuel and other essential commodities come 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, but enough to get medical cases out so that people can get treatment, many of 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. ah, 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

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. a frances highest constitutional authority, his role that unpopular pension reforms championed by president emanuel mack wrong 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 rejects at the idea of holding a public referendum on the issue. now crohn used his executive power to force the changes through parliament. last month. natasha butler has worn out from the french capital with our hundreds of protest in front of the central paris. and most of them have told us that they are not surprised. provinces. hope your counsel

as approved president emmanuel, micro pension working bill. but that doesn't mean been disappointed. all frustrated what they've been telling us they want to continue to continue to demonstrate because they that if they continue to put person on the french government, that he even though this bill will become low. for bob's personal, mike will be forced to scrap the law and you can even see a link strike people here, a more sombre did you know that 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 whether this is also offering this hipaa. 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. sometimes opening up a sign over there saying, oh, end of democracy because

a lot of people feel like they feel that the french prison simply hasn't been listening to the purchase in the street. that have been happening since the beginning of the year. thirty's, disconnected from the concerns all ordinary people. now what is clear is that the decision by for all the schools do show council is of course a big win for persons of michael. good, he says is necessary for country to sustain has been to the system. however, it also move to the next month and he is will be very difficult because he's government a problem. is it also most amount of public trust? when macro wants to continue with his reform agenda, it will be challenging. we talked about, is there a car's a suspect in the league of u. s. military intelligence records has been charged at a federal court in boston. 21 year old jack to sharon is a member of the u. s. air force national guard. he is accused of unlawfully copying and transmitting classified material. and one of the largest leaks of its kind in

recent years can be how kit has moved from washington dc. i was a very emotional moment in the courtroom as jack to assure appeared before a federal judge. there were 3 of his family members in the court room along with a crowded court room of spectators. we understand that he made eye contact and there were teary eyes by the family members, as they saw him appear before the judge to hear those charges against him. we should point out that the federal bureau of investigation or f b i is still conducting an investigation, so there could be more charges forthcoming. and those charges that have been laid so far do carry half deep penalties. now, there have been questions raised about how somebody so young could have access to such a serious a information. information that is classified information that contains a highly,

highly sensitive intelligence and 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 a 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 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 joe by then 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

that's known as a detention hearing. that is where his bail will be sat and it is expected to be a very high price tag. in terms of his bond. well, al jazeera has gained access to the linked us intelligence documents, and they appeared to confirm the presence of the russian walking. the group in became a foster. this comes as a military genta calling for national mobilization in the face of attacks from armed groups linked to al qaeda. and i thought it was hack reports. information from the u. s. leaks has spread fast around the world and even to the streets for kenneth's capital. what do they refer to breaking as possible? links to the russian mercenary force. wagner would not want to lie for kina also is a free and independent country. it can choose to cooperate with whoever it wants to . al jazeera has gained access to the documents 1st reported by british media outlet turtle. they say the russian private military company wagner could use its presence in molly and bertina faso to stabilize ivory coast. according to

communication, intercepted from an ivory insecurity official, it's no surprise. you know, they wagner has had a voice in burkina faso for well, over a year there was some open source reporting yesterday about a possible camp burkina faso, but we're hearing it was from 1550 people. so it's a relatively small presence. we met russian fighters from the wagner group in 2018 and the central african republic. their operations have since spread from mozambique sudan to malia. now burkina faso, the 2 countries used to rely on their former colonial power, france to help them fight on groups linked to iceland and arcadia. but that military cooperation was brought to an end after the russian forces arrived. what wagner is doing in africa is an extension of moscow's policy in the region established a foot whole for, for russia, displaced the influence of the wes buchanan. foster's military. ginger says it has

lost control of 40 percent of the national territory to armed groups on, on national television. a mass mobilization has been announced that kentucky now sees citizens, vehicles, and properties akin also summoned men and women above the age of 18. to fight on the front line, your progress, the indices are selector, bhaskar luxury, want i salute the mission because the fight against terrorism is one, the concerns is all, and we are all suffering the consequences and this victory to come will profit the entire nation. lovek drop course in the u. s. intelligence leaks suggest burkina may have the support of russian fighters but countries neighboring this a. how are worried about wagner's presence and any instability it might bring? nicholas hawk al jazeera on stella had here on out as era, brazil's president gets his full backing divisions, proposals to end the ukraine war during his state as that to chime

including providing weapons to either side. he made the remarks during a press briefing with german foreign minister, she called on china to pressure russia to end the war. i think it was orphans aren't as you, me fargo problem. i have to wonder why the chinese positioning so far does not include a call for the aggressor, russia to stop the war. we are know that president prudent would have the opportunity to do so at any time. in the people in ukraine, we're likely nothing more is i to finally be able to live in peace again. cindy from berkshire hor back. but additional 2 of our one point i want to emphasize is but china's role in the ukraine issues. and all proposition boils down to one point that is to persuade and promote toggle jacobo. we will not do anything to add fuel to the flames. while brazilian president lewis, and actually the solver is throwing his weight behind china's been to broke a peace deal between russia and ukraine during a meeting with chinese president. she's being president ruler,

china's multi polar weld order. that house by lead spread sheet conception of the wild way. you do not have a single edge moon, but instead of poly stanford, well, what brazil, china and other leading countries in the globe without can comprise a prominent poll that balances against what they view to be western hager, monique, that it's, it's not just politics on the presidential agenda, the 2 leaders of signed a raft of business deals covering agriculture, energy, and infrastructure. turn in the brazil largest trading partner for more than a decade last year. but national trade topped $150000000000.00 as almost double the figure between brazil and the united states in addition to securing new trade ties during his time in china. president lula has ushered in the appointment of brazil's former leader dilner recess as the head of the bricks, new development bank, bangladesh, egypt, uruguay,

but this still needs to be approved by the states governor. tick tock says it's an attempt to sense that american voices and that's can authorities have sent more than $8000.00 troops to god beaches and travel rates across the country and follows a series of models and popular holiday destinations. john holman, has more from cranking with c sand and semi automatic rifles. it's the new reality for mexico's top beach destination the caribbean resort of kang kuhn. a hot spot for spring breaking americans, european holiday makers, but one in which marines now god, the beaches. the here for a reason in can coon, over recent years, crime and violence have been on the rise for people killed near the beach just before easter, the latest flash point. british holiday makers, sophie, kirsty is soaking up the raises the security forces pass. you just seen all of her,

the marines and the police come patrolling down the beach. what, what we think. yeah, for, for a strange sight. i thought there was going to be an altercation or there was something here are throw some same the reason that of maybe preventative measures are definitely cautious. and we were definitely like we were looking around to other people's reactions and seeing if anybody else's reacts in elementary. if other people were scared, then we'd probably leave. but when you look around, it seems pretty normal. the presence of troops here has become normal. a battalion of the national guard is now stationed on this coast. authorities know they have to protect the tourist trade to do course. you think the images like this one would have put people off, but tourist keep arriving in cranking despite a real surge in violence in this town over the last few years. ah, me. well, those living here are facing daily battles. if i am opening a new business in concur,

what's the probability that i'm going to be extorted and it's gonna be like 5050? i think those are very man in the home and so far in terms of storage and 85 percent of the business race, he should know he's already had a restaurant destroyed by gangsters. can coons become a juicy prize for the biggest cartels in the country? they demand the business owners allow them, so drugs on their premises will simply give them protection money from those hawking inflatables on the beach to the popular bars on the strip. nobody's too big or too small to get out of paying will bear the police, say that getting to grips with things. so there is a rigid restaurants and businesses so that people feel that police are close to them. and they can come to us when there's an extortion call,

then we can follow up in the streets while the state attorney's office goes after the criminal organizations that only one person who has been tried and convicted for exclusion. and they are appealing and they're already close restaurants, shots. that's an as yet incipient trend. this money maker for the mexican economy was stopped before the tourist decides go elsewhere. john home. and i would just say the kangaroo. oh, that's it for me and his fancy attached now as always, much more information on our website that's al jazeera dot com, whether is up next with everson fox then inside story to stay with us. ah
