devastating was been raging since 2050 not many journalists have managed to get into the country he doubly correspondent fighting for shah has just got back welcome fani what did you see. a very fluid and difficult situation fluid in term so when you go through aden and the area around this interim capital you go through checkpoints and you sometimes really wonder who is in charge is it what is left of the government left from the government is it the separatists the s.t.c. or dreaming of a one state basically of the south of yemen what used to be before 990 yemen was separated into 2 places north and south is it the i mean iraqis that are part of the society that coalition officially supporting the government in their efforts to fight to the back so as you can tell and then of course we didn't even mention the jihad it's on the grounds that strike often is about as you can tell that is such a complex and chaotic situation it's
5:03 pm
a very unstable and dangerous situation for the ordinary citizen the ordinary yemeni within that situation i have met fatah not very young doctor 26 years old she just graduated but the situation she's experiencing in that public hospital rachel works is beyond imagination in fact she really struggles both mentally and physically to do her job but she continues and let's watch her story and find out what. things can change in seconds at this intensive care unit in aden this is just not she's 18 months old and has been diagnosed with and malnutrition she's home between life and death that a 3rd of what either of us did you request oxygen there is nothing the oxygen bottle and the room doesn't work in which. the. doctor fatuma must improvise it's not the 1st time she has failed helpless steam
5:04 pm
inhalations is the only option available for at the moment it's not just now paralytic uncreate see her you know breathing is still flat so she needs us to go right away fatima's shift is just beginning the oxygen bottle is delivered after all it will make it many children do not for fun the fact that oxygen cannot always be provided on time is depressing when she began her medical studies before the war shortages were unheard off i was feeling optimistic i was really looking forward to graduate but it's just so difficult for delivering even for doctors considered you know what i have got here in the country. happiness comes in small doses here this father is relieved his daughter is gaining some weight for now is there not enough doctors and most of those here must work unpaid. hospitals cannot cope it's not
5:05 pm
just the lack of food in yemen that brings a lot of people especially malnourished children to this hospital once they arrive they face another problem lack of medical supplies and there's not enough space simply they aren't you know it's all these children. these children are new patients waiting in the hallway for admission. 14 i was not prepared for this level of stress. after a 24 hour shift she finally find sanctuary at home photography helps her to one of wind at the age of 26 she finds her job overwhelming it makes me feel that i am not still working and just forget it i'm leaving it all in the hospital and stuff. for life but there she wants to continue her medical studies germany her father a geologist used to live there in the 1980 s. puppets i think the war never and will end. a lot of time how long do you think
5:06 pm
this is nobody lives but we hope the war ends for children because the people are suffering and they are in bad shape there's no stability nothing nothing no salary no jobs the youth is lost. with a future so bleak fatima doesn't know how long she will stay in yemen working on paid she wants to continue working as a doctor to help people but she also wants better opportunities for own if possible outside of yemen. it's a funny shot this all sounds very bleak as you said at the end of the piece and you just give us an idea of what daily life is like for people. it's a mixture you also see people having an ice cream for example something that you wouldn't expect when you look at the pictures that came out of yemen so far of the famine of course there are still people who can afford an ice cream who who do have a pension who do have some money but that's
5:07 pm
a very very small portion of the country people millions of them are in dire need of aid and that aid which is supposed to be channeled to them. doesn't always arrive not just because the way that this aid is being distributed for example in the north controlled by the who feeds the growth which program a u.n. agency has claimed that the food is stolen by these and resold. to to their own their fighters and then again if you can make it to a distribution site to get some food to your family everybody has the fuel to pay for fuel which is also going up in price to actually go to the distribution side so there are many many layers that had to this daily difficulty of survival in yemen and most people that i've spoken to are simply frustrated because they feel abandoned not just by what's left of the yemeni government but by the international community itself they feel that nobody's really paying attention to yemen anymore because more and more people have grown ri-ri in terms of what this entire conflict
5:08 pm
is about as it's getting more complex by the day and you say it's getting more more complex by the day is there any sign of it ending at this point bluntly put not really which has to do to the fact that there are new front lines opening up so far i mean war was described as a proxy war between iran and saudi arabia iran allegedly supporting a do through of elves and so you arabia with the united arab its arab emirates trying to support the yemeni government to drive these out at the same time however given the saudi that coalition there is a rift as well the iraqis for example are supporting a group of the separatists that are dreaming of an own state as i said earlier so they have different interests competing against each other that you really as you wake up in yemen somebody told me he's asking himself who is really in charge of yemen and whether this war will ever going to end you know because both of them official. now to greece where the government has begun to move hundreds of asylum

a familiar ritual of the hurricane season. germany's main political parties are assessing the fallout from 2 states elections that source in support for the far right alternative for germany will f.t. emerge as the 2nd strongest force in the eastern states of saxony and brandenburg the mainstream parties did play on to power in both states the results are raising questions about how and whether they will deal with it after a. while that t.w. such as political correspondent melinda crane can tell us more welcome bill and despite this populist surge germany's 2 main parties are still in charge in the state so has the threat to anger back was ruling coalition a been overcome for now. well what's important to note is that these 2 mainstream parties that just to barely clung to their leading positions in the 2 states are
5:16 pm
the same ones that are governing in that federal coalition so prior to the election there had even been some speculation about whether if there were a disastrous result for the social democrats the junior coalition partner and for conservatives whether in fact we might see the government fall now it looks like that is not going to happen the federal coalition the 2 parties have gained a breather but frankly the sighs of relief here in berlin were shallow at best today because both parties have bled support to the far right alternative for germany the a.f.d. party and because politics has gotten a lot more complicated for these 2 parties that were once assured of strong majorities 1st of all in terms of bleeding support to the far right there was a very surprisingly high voter turnout both in the state of brandenburg and in the state of saxony yesterday but the fact is the largest share of those 1st time
5:17 pm
voters were voting for the far right that's going to be very troubling for these 2 mainstream parties both of which are relying for support these days on older voters many of them already pensioners who clearly are going to be dwindling in number so another point very troubling for both parties many young voters actually also flock to the far right that seems surprising and that will certainly be causing some consternation now the parties the 2 partners here in berlin will be meeting in the federal format to be talking about where things go from here this evening they're looking at trying to put together a new climate policy they're also talking about how to boost the economy in the face of signs of recession and also trade uncertain. but the fact is there do for a mid-term review of the federal coalition at the end of this year the s.p.d. the social democrats also going to be holding
5:18 pm
a major party conference where they will review whether the grand coalition should stay in effect but i think what they will take away from this result is that politics now is more fragmented than ever both at the regional and at the national level and that if new elections were to be called that will become a problem for them at federal level as well right when the crane chief political correspondent thank you the united nations envoy is in cyprus today for talks with the leaders of the divided the island giant hole lou todd has been meeting with the presidents of the republic of cyprus and the break white northern part of the island which is occupied by turkey the u.n. has been trying to encourage reunification since i've been divided in 1904 following the turkish military invasion the last round of talks broke down 2 years ago in w.'s from kaufman has this report from an island where many and i'm fed up of the division. the main shopping street in the cypriot capital neko c.-a is still
