. are. accused the un of trying to undermine the investigation into the use of chemical weapons in syria the syrian government claims rebels used illegal agents near the city of aleppo last month killing around two dozen political historian gerald horne explains why he believes the un investigation will bear fruit. this quiet from the north atlantic countries about this chemical attack speaks volumes that speaks loudly because we all know that if this chemical attack could be pinned on the damascus regime of president all saw that they would have been shouting from the rooftops about it the fact that they're not quiet about it i think says all that we need to know we all saw what happened at the arab league meeting where they were able to maneuver the rebels to take the heat of the all assad regime we all know about the recent on talk between turkey and israel which does not bode well for a peaceful resolution of the syrian crisis therefore it seems to me that an attack
12:40 pm
of this chemical and investigation of this chemical attack but moscow and beijing in particular managers who want to see. the president of yemen has been in russia for the first time since taking office last year during his stay mr hardee spoke to r.t. and laid out his plans for the country's future at that interview is coming away very shortly more news with me in the team in twenty minutes from now. there is is trash to get rid of. but it's also a treasure. worth fighting for. and a trap with no way out.
12:41 pm
12:42 pm
12:43 pm
vladimir putin during your meeting. first of all i'd like to thank artie's arabic channel for what it's been doing for the arab world as a whole and yemen in particular this is my first visit to russia since i was elected in two thousand and twelve i came to thank the russian government and mr putin for supporting the people of yemen at the time of the crisis in twenty eleven yemen was on the brink of civil war but its political forces the ruling party opposition parties together with our social youth and women's organizations agreed that we should take the way of peace and stop the civil war that had been raging in our capital city center for more than a year we all agreed that we were going to act according to the gulf cooperation council initiative and its implementation mechanism we then held an early election on february twenty fourth two thousand and twelve a compromise president was elected and we continued to establish peace in yemen
12:44 pm
according to the mechanism i mentioned above well but we also managed to stop the hostilities in santa and other provinces because as you know the army and security forces were divided tribes were divided and the capital itself was divided and people went to polling stations while they were still barricades and guns on the streets because they wanted peace not war now we're moving towards implementing the initiative put forward by the gulf countries and establishing ceasefire as well as withdrawing troops and forming a national coalition government the national consensus government was formed in such a way that the prime minister represented the opposition and the president was from the ruling party i was chosen to be president in the nature of a compromise we have following the plan outlined in the initiative we promised to fix water and energy supplies open the roads that connect the provinces we as well as the militaries withdraw forces and send them to the free abyan province from al qaeda militia made up from the local population helped us to do that we forced
12:45 pm
al-qaeda out of abidjan and we've partially freed shap our province. we have started refresher training and the reorganization of our military and are now in the process of countrywide restructuring of our military forces the interior ministry and all its departments all in accordance with the initiative a special commission made up from our jordanian and american experts is giving us a hand with that there's also a u. commission working with jordanian counterparts that helps us restructure our interior ministry with what we're doing now is basically building up our military and security forces from scratch where you find bugs on the path of a national reconciliation dialogue i talked about all these things were brushes president vladimir putin as russia is one of the five permanent members of the security council which backs the gulf cooperation council initiative and the mechanism of its implementation but we discussed a number of standards that our armed forces is supposed to meet as you know the
12:46 pm
weapons we use in yemen were made in russia as well as tanks planes and helicopters the lifespan of some of these weapons has expired and we agreed to continue military cooperation in this failed we spoke about economic issues and i also thank russia for preventing yemen from degenerating into a civil war russia has played a role in this by taking a firm stance to support the gulf initiative a civil war in yemen could have reverberations both across the arab world and the global community. mr president earlier you mentioned our military relations with russia should we expect any agreements to be signed in this area in the future even though models here. well. we've got plenty of long term military agreements with russia i informed president putin that other countries have provided him in with financial help in order to help it out of the crisis we do ask for support but we do not want russia to simply invest into yemen we would like russian companies to
12:47 pm
help us extend the working lifespan of fighters and like cargo aircraft tanks motor vehicles and supply replacement parts to us about how many f.e.m.a. has to come up a national dialogue conference is now about a little while but how would you estimate the results that have been achieved so far after two months of work might have been what. this is the first conference of this mind held in yemen or any other arab country at all we've been preparing this conference for six months abiding by the initiative states and its implementation mechanism this national dialogue is now underway and it's going to last six months or more that one of the issues will be placed into nine main divisions the discussion will kick off with addressing the problems of the southern part of the country and then we will move on to problems inside our province or issues and national building. seventy five percent of the population is under forty five years old so this new young generation is looking forward to the changes and
12:48 pm
these changes coming carried out by the previous generation which has been in power for fifty years the new generation must take part in building their own future that is the reason why the youth will mean civil society organizations small parties and new parties established off the events are involved in the dialogue and there will be five hundred sixty five representatives from these groups and they all will be a party to the process and the dialogue will be headed by the president of the republic of yemen he will be guided by the needs of all social layers so what needs to change is for fifty years they've been internal conflicts going on in the. country in the past there was north yemen and south yemen and there was bad blood between the two states in one thousand and ninety they were unified in the republican but even this move didn't make the parties adjust their course so it led to the war of ninety ninety four one party pushed another aside from power up but
12:49 pm
such actions don't fit with modern conceptions you can't just overthrow another party the people of yemen have found themselves in a crossroads choosing between a civil war and nation wide reconsolidation whereby the system of governance would be reformed peacefully so that none of the communities would feel oppressed and discriminated yemen is in a complicated economic situation right now in the one nine hundred sixty s. we launched a bold campaign to eradicate illiteracy poverty and disease it is a war but fifty years on we still find ourselves living hand in hand with illiteracy and diseases. that even though they have been in the media and the destruction of a terrorist network those planning attacks in order to prevent dialogue i made a public statement as well mr president we're going to seeing that our forces at the scene to upset all efforts of reconciliation who do you think might be interested in lawful indestructible commission a nationwide dialogue for a sea of consolidated in yemen a lot more. hu whenever there is
12:50 pm
a change underway there are those who support it and those who oppose it there are also domestic and external players for example iran doesn't like it that yemen should deal with its issues at its own discretion they have a different attitude and different methods we arrested their vessels and they are long term requested them to help yemen and resolving is a problem but rather than export more problems into yemen it is written with poverty we have six million people aged between fifteen and twenty eight who are unemployed we have six hundred thousand university graduates from both humanitarian and technical schools than others spent the last ten years looking for employment and some of them despair and commit suicide and some of them join al qaida that's why we don't want our friends and neighbors to export more problems into the country if we can barely handle our existing difficulties eleven and we don't want to have weapons smuggled into our country so as yemen is already one of the most heavily armed nation. father believes that unemployment has been one of the reasons
12:51 pm
for the increase in al qaim his presence in yemen al qaida in yemen yes. the government had a plan to combat al qaeda in yemen and you did take some of his presence in yemen or kind of one up little autonomy isn't it possible to say today that the al qaeda network in the country has been destroyed how you can call you and. al-qaeda has not been destroyed completely just as it hasn't been destroyed in any particular country there is now a kind of presence in the united states there is an al qaeda in europe there is al qaeda in russia and in any country it maintains its presence by way of the so-called sleeper cells al-qaeda has become a network without borders as we were wrestling out beyond from them we came across al qaeda fighters who would come over from pakistan chechnya europe the us and other places that intended to establish their own government in yemen and when hostilities broke out in the sinai they thought it was time to set up their
12:52 pm
government. but with god's help and with the support from popular communities our military and security forces managed to take down the government that al-qaeda was trying to impose on the province however they still have their sleeper cells in some parts of yemen as well as outside the country. but the government of yemen is address the united states with several requests to have your many inmates of kuantan will be on the parwan detention facility in bagram afghanistan return to yemen why has this issue remained unresolved to date. i spoke with the u.s. justice secretary during my visit to the united states that we've agreed that they would hand over to us every yemeni national detained at one time obey and we have made arrangements and we're now moving towards a transfer of detainees under those conditions i hope we'll have this accomplished and then there is future we believe that keeping someone in detention for even ten
12:53 pm
. years without due process is clear cut terrenate and he will be difficult to rehabilitate someone who's been through such an excruciating experience ten years of imprisonment without due process the united states is fond of talking democracy and human rights but when we were discussing the prisoner issue with the american justice secretary he had nothing to say i told him your country is always out there promoting liberty and human rights are you ok with someone being kept in your prison for ten years without due process he said personally i'm not happy with that so we made a deal to have them handed over to yemen as soon as possible before. god willing it will be done. anything of the brush the street and represents us and what we. should we expect more. from three and russian men you can see a lot of. yemen is
12:54 pm
open. for all the. oil exploration fact there are several areas with suppose the oil fields in our country thirty four companies including russian ones began drilling forced to leave due to the twenty eleven events we're going to companies to return to the same area where they intended to begin developing what they spend two or three years on a geological survey all they had to do drilling some of the russian companies discovered natural gas one exploring oil but they bought some of the gas. talks and asked them to return but there was sort of a natural gas is considered to be more valuable because it's one of the source is some of the cement and other industries are running on gas it doesn't. mr president it's actually a bigger message to the people of yemen it's a moment. and i'm telling the public game in movie for leave in dialogue but those
12:55 pm
have a legacy because they take down the road. and it's really not you yeah i mean aspiring level we wish you had success in the dialogue we wish you to him in another the shore of stability and security when one of the medical device we have safely was awarded in your b.m.i. without but i managed to get high so question. you know when the history of any culture there are some dark chapters throughout human history there's been war on every continent and religious strife and oppression every culture has some skeletons in their closet and in recent u.s. history the scandalous prison at guantanamo bay as making patriotic americans
12:56 pm
scurrying around a decade or so rather than slamming the door shut and get mall i hate that term condemning it as one of the greatest mistakes in american history and gloriously declaring on t.v. channels and newspapers the country wide that it shall never be repeated again the pentagon instead wants to blow another forty nine million dollars expanding it even if you are one of the types of things that american gulags are super cool and awesome do you realize it takes over one million dollars per year per prisoner to keep the place open are you sure you don't want that money to go towards something else like your children's education the thing that burns me up about this the most is that obama promised if elected to close guantanamo bay and as commander in chief of the armed forces he could do this whatever he wanted no amount of filibustering by the republicans could stop him obama you promised hundreds of millions of people to do something very simple start the paper work tomorrow buddy make the nation look better that's your job but that's just my opinion.
