and even where the internationally recognized government is based, where we challenge ripple international airport in yemen. the men leaving this plain, returning to freedom. he's released as part of a prison, a swap between saudi arabia and the iran back to the rebels. we are happy to return to the capital summer after we were in the presence of the enemy. he thank abdul malik l. who the corp, when the kitten this asked these prisons 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 in negotiations between the 2 sides, seeking an end to the near 9 year war mediated by a mom. the international committee for the red cross is over seeing the prison swaps look of defense saved now to

a look of happiness. exactly what's all about. we are proud at the international committee with the hands of our colleagues of 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 sen, this aircraft carried him and he government officials released by the who fees. they included emmans, former defense minister in the middle here, and the brother of the president behind him. of course, it's yet quite significant to step and it's he bidding a damage we'll trust between the legitimate government and dad. he also picked the way to the piece a plan in the yemen view and broke a 6 month truth officially ended in october, but still largely holds. the recent diplomatic push comes of the 2 main players and what is often, well,

the proxy war made peace last month. saudi arabia and iran agree to wins their 7 year diplomatic rift and re established diplomatic ties in a deal broken by china. and this is the 1st concrete result of not only are almighty mediation bought, the iran saw the agreement, which is 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. we eminence facing one of the worst humanitarian crises in the wild after more than 8 years of conflict that the war began back in 2014 when who the rebels captured the capital salon and demanded a new government the following year, a coalition led by saudi arabia began a military campaign against the who these,

in 2022 warring factions agreed to a 2 month cease fire the fast extended truth that in 7 years the u. m broke a 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 more our food and secure and lack access to basic health care or sanitation. yemen was already one of the poorest countries in the middle east before the war broke out. on david, grassy is the un humanitarian coordinator for yemen. he says the prisoner swap is promising, but a long lasting si. fi is the priority. the only way to find it to reduce it in humanitarian assistance, is to find a into the conflict. so we were very hopeful that this move continues the ending of the air strikes. the cessation are still, it is 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

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 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. 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 4 point. 5000000 people displaced by the conflict or frances highest constitutional authority has rules 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 there from $62.00 to $64.00. the constitutional counsel rejected the idea of holding a public referendum on the issue like one use his executive powers to force the changes through parliament. last month, natasha butler has worn out for us from parents without hundreds of protests in front of the infant. joel perez, and what most of them have told us that they are not surprised provinces. hope your

counsel as approved president emmanuel, macro bentonville, but that doesn't mean they're not disappointed. all frustrated. what they've been telling us is they want to continue to continue to demonstrate because they they continue to put person on the french government that heathen douglasville will become know the bob's appraisal. mike will be forced to scrap the law. you can even see a. 7 link strike people here. c a 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 caea does. she's 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. 2 as opening up a sign over that saying, oh, end of democracy because

a lot of people feel like they feel that the french person simply hasn't been listening to the purchase in the street that have been happening since the beginning of the year. but he's disconnected from the concerns all ordinary people . now what is clear is that the decision boy, for all the schools do show counsel is of course a big win for persons of michael. good, he says is necessary for country to sustain his pension system. however, it also move to the next month and he is will be very difficult for him because he's government a most amount of public trust. so when michael wants to continue with his reform agenda, it will be challenging. natasha bala, al jazeera. now i suspect in the league of u. s. military intelligence records has been charged at a federal court in boston. 21 year old jack tara 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 worn out from washington. dc was 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. 4th, coming in. 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 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 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 biden, 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 has 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, next can authorities have sent more than 8000 troops to gone beaches and travel rates across the country and follows a series of murders at popular holiday destinations. john holman, has worn out from calhoun. ah, see, son and semi automatic rifles. it's the new reality permits cuz top beach destination the caribbean resort. conclude a hot spot for spring breaking americans. european holiday makers, one in which marines now called the beaches. the here for a reason. and kind in over recent years. crime and violence have been on the rise for people killed near the beach just before easter, the late his flash point. british holiday makers, sophie, kirsty,

a soaking up the raises the security forces pass. you just seen all of the, the marines and the police come patrolling down the beach. what, what were you thinking? yeah. for a strange sight. i thought there was going to be an altercation or there was something here are throughout something. the reason that uh, maybe preventative measures are definitely cautious and we were definitely like we were looking around at other people's reactions and seeing if anybody else is reacting and i'm a shave. other people was 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 cause. you think the images like this one would have put people off, but tourist keep arriving in cancun despite a real search in violence in this town over the last few years. ah, meanwhile, those living here are facing daily battles. if i'm 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 they are in a man and they also provide home and sell farming stores 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 may, will bear the police, say that getting to grips with things around the rigid restaurants and businesses. so the people feel that police are close to them and they're going up and they can

come to us. when there's an extortion call, then we can follow up in the street while the state attorney's office goes after the criminal organizations that only one person can who has been tried and convicted for exclusion. and they're appealing and they're already close restaurants, shots. that's an as yet incipient trend. this money maker for the mexican economy won't stop before the tourist decides, go elsewhere. john home and how do you see the kangaroo? well, meanwhile congo operations have been temporarily suspended at a major crossing on the us mexican border. hundreds of trucks that are lined up with bridge. as you can see, linking the city of flores with el paso, texas. the restrictions will allow us border agency staff to help process undocumented migrants who continue to arrive in large numbers. mostella had here on al jazeera,

still a few showers there to japan into the korean peninsula, but for china generally dry fine and sunny. that sunshine is showers across indo china, the showers a little more widespread than they have been recently. some went to weather, coming back in across a good part of vietnam, sliding through laos, into cambodia. maybe it's thailand as well, in a scattering of showers. that particular cross northern parts of the philippines. they are going to be somewhat heavier than they have been recently scattering a showers to into malaysia into indonesia, and still want to showers just coming to western parts of india. but for the most part, it's all about the heat, temperatures well above average, getting up into the forty's already want to shout into northern parts of pakistan, but still pretty hot here. ah, african countries have struggled to reclaim many of the artifacts taken by european colonizers. and this is our experience identity in the final port of the seas,

labianca says at least 8 people have died in a russian missile strike. a 2 year old child was among those reported killed. please say the top 2 floors of a 5 story building collapsed after the strike. a fire broke out nearby rescue teams have been claiming the rebel there and such a survivor. in while china's foreign minister says that beijing will not do anything that could escalate the conflict in ukraine and during providing weapons to either side. he made the remarks during a press briefing with the german foreign minister and she called on china to pressure russia to end the war. i think it was often to harness me fargo above them . i have to wonder why the chinese positioning so far does not include a call for the aggressor, russia to stop the war. we all know that president prudent would have the opportunity to die. so at any time, and the people in ukraine were likely nothing more. i shall finally be able to live in peace again. save me from virtual hor back. but additional of our one point i want to emphasize is that 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. and brazilian president lewis and australia this all that is throwing his weight behind china's bid to broker a peace deal between russia and ukraine. during a meeting with chinese president, she isn't being president. sheila also seal the number of trade deals that she says will consolidate. what he called the 2 countries extraordinary relationship, which is kimber reports from hong kong. the then fit for friendship, brazilian president, luis, in sci looted as silva, is the latest in a recent line of international leaders to be given the red carpet treatment by china's leader. she, jim ping in exchange, a show of solidarity from lula towards beijing's effort to broker piece deal in ukraine, home, chinese state media, se the leaders agreed to dialogue and negotiations of the only way out of the

conflict. analysts say that bolsters chinese efforts to work with partners in the bricks alliance of brazil, india, russia, and south africa, and counter the u. s. lead strategy of sanctioning moscow while offering military supports to ukraine. it's important to remember that brazil is an instrumental part of breaks and more generally speaking, china's multi polar world order. that's how it bailey present seats conception of the world where you do not have a single edge moon. but instead of poly stanford world where brazil sign and other leading countries in the globe without can comprise a prominent poll that balances against what they viewed to be wet than hagar, monique, that it be. it's not just politics on the presidential agenda. the 2 leaders have signed a raft of business deals covering agriculture, energy, and infrastructure. turning in brazil, largest trading partner for more than a decade last year. but actual trade topped $150000000000.00 as almost double the

a dozen countries have expressed interest in joining bricks, including iran and saudi arabia. china is backing an expansion over the block. if it gets its way, the may be a need for even more red carpet rollouts in beijing in the near future. richard kimber, al jazeera hong kong. i mean, la brazil former president enjoyable sonora has been ordered to testify about his alleged role in the storming of government buildings by his supporters and judges. given him 10 days to appear before federal police. on january 8th, his supporters invaded and vandalized for the congress a week after lula took office. of nora denies inciting. the riot leans national monetary fund has warned that europe will see a sharp flow down in economic growth this year. but the m. s says most countries should avoid a recession, except perhaps for germany, which is expected to see a minor downtown financial pressures have been compounded by russia's war and
