great to have you with us now dr s. this situation in yemen wasn't complicated enough protests have now broken out in the south of the country with the south and transitional council supposedly backed by the united arab emirates calling for a popular uprising to restore independence of south yemen is yemen had it into complete collapse with hope not through the i think the. so the situation is very serious and deteriorating by the day because no serious action has been taken by either the government of yemen or by the international community and sponsors of the peace in yemen and because of the loss of direction and loss of ability to and that is turned really the basis of all these conflicts and. the many layers of the conflict since the situation is deteriorating and will continue to do so yes unfortunately the issue of the demonstrations and the issue
1:31 am
of the humanitarian issues are very serious at the moment but. i think they are already flexion of the was a loss of hope of a new solution coming forward and then into the to the hostilities in the conflict that existed in the country so how does the emirate support for the separatists go along with the united arab emirates military backing of press and how does government in the fight against the rebels how can they support what is called the legitimate government and at the same time a rival group which is fighting against it. i think basically this is the reflection on unfortunately of the lack of direction of both the transitional council and the government because basically the government and the transitional council know that the southern problem issue has been addressed in the national
1:32 am
dialogue and that proposals for the solutions were put on the table and were agreed upon and therefore i think what people have to do know is to return to the outcome of the. comprehensive dialogue that has taken place in two thousand and fourteen and there is really the recommendations made by. majority of political parties and governmental organization on sort of in many of the conflicts that since two thousand and fifteen so the region that his he is occupy iraq the corresponds to the former north yemen and the separatists audience are calling for the return of south yemen those areas are very different different terrain religion history why not just lack the region split and go their separate ways well i think it's just a matter of separate ways i think the unity of human was an aspiration to all
1:33 am
yemenis and i think the i'm uneasy as they have united the country in one thousand nine hundred to find ways to dissolve the the reasons for the dissent in the south or by the horses. the issue i think is that neither of the who or the who sees all of the separatists in the south have the right to determine what the people of human want i think if anybody want to really a permanent and complete sense of solution they have to sit around the table with the if they want to change anything of the. national dialogue outcome i think that everybody will come to discuss how this can be done how to do these all of the causes of the dissent and how to rectify and the mistakes that have taken place but neither the host is or the. because. the
1:34 am
southerners can say that we present everybody in the north or in the courts of the right see it's a coalition planted just control the soudan to pose a arabian peninsula and the state of yemen as a whole isn't much of a concern here or doesn't look like a conspiracy theory t. of. well. you know everything is possible really when you look at the situation and the policies and the strategies that are being implemented in yemen i think what's needed now i think is for the united nations security council is to look at the situation and see really what what the objective about all that's taking place in yemen unfortunately the united nations security council in its approach to yemen is only to listen to the special envoys that of course every month or two months and then the representatives will make their own i mean but imminent to present if the security council would make their statements which are
1:35 am
always if you to do be to to and of course the condemned human. attacks on who are civilians the they also talk very. about their concerns about the humanitarian crisis in the country and then they will declare their support for the special envoy but nothing materializes at the end of it. no it is a russians that are demanded to meet either to end the war or to direct the political solution for the hostilities in the conflict in yemen the u.n. envoy on gehman mark hazmat with every participant of the conflict including the south and separatists what are the chances that all sides can be at least brought to a common table and i don't mean instant peace but at least some coming occasion can the u.n. how can the nice do it. i think you must remember that every party in the
1:36 am
conflict in yemen have their. what is their concerns and they also have their red lines and analysts. the political solution is comprehensive is is a negotiated settlement in which is it's all inclusive nothing will be achieved no one can achieve a. an end to the conflict and therefore the special envoy has really to address in whatever final proposal of an end of the war agreement he has to address these fears of the yemenis but he should also remember that the yemenis every side of them will accuse the that they cannot make the decision because they are under the influence of one of the. those and involved in the
1:37 am
proxy war in yemen this company case things and therefore he therefore he has a need to also see what the concerns and the what is about. the countries involved in this proxy war on how to ensure that this agreement for a peace settlement addresses their concerns as well. unless this happens i don't think there would be much progress. to take a sharp break right now until that that what dr ablow back her up the last day former foreign minister again i'm talking about the situation of oratory.
1:38 am
1:39 am
this is crude oil. so they need to actually physically hold it out of the ground he would have well well well well well. there's a lot of money with the oil and with that comes. a lot of a lot of people from all over the country. if you don't make a hundred thousand dollars a year. as a minimum there's an issue. here maybe. they were told sixty dollars a day it's hard work for the workers not used to work and so they want to relieve their stress and how do they relieve their stress these may move back out like that comfort these many. people have been murdered up here people been raped there are massive drug issues up here you have a boom you have everything else that comes along with money.
1:40 am
1:41 am
and we're back with dr i will back her abdul out all cure be former foreign minister of yemen discussing the war and yeah man and what can be done to put an end to it. so dr the u.n. peace talks in september failed because they didn't show up what should be a promise or who say so they actually start talking and settle this as a coalition they've been interested in that or do they want a military victory first. i think the best one to answer this question is the special envoy who we knew exactly what happened why the. he's did not participate
1:42 am
in the. geneva could consult haitians and that in my mind i think it over use the. the the geneva consultations were looked at as a continuation of the previous ones and maybe nobody took him very seriously this is a personal view and the way that it was in the negotiations with. the there were some company fissions in the travel of the horses and the. delegate to if you need a. real order need i think the special envoy can also the question what is the arab coalition really want in the end they say that they're fighting for peace and stability and against iran surely after and if it is over they will demand payment what kind of payment can they ask for what do you think. you know i think that they are going to know that they are doing it for free in others they
1:43 am
are waiting for payment i think they have. certainly their worries about the security about threats from yemen. as the believe that iran. would have a stronghold in yemen and this is so i think as i said earlier where the special envoy has really to understand what are the concerns and what he is up of the. coalition a coalition countries but but this is not the end of the story he has all sorts understand what is the concerns and the what he is of the nine out of the members of the coalition countries about the situation of human so they his they said. long range missiles are capable of hitting the united arab emirates and saudi arabia siddhis united nations security council resolution to deescalate calls for
1:44 am
the militia to give them up but can you really expect them to do that i mean they're already outmanned and outgunned their enemies are backed by the west obviously they're afraid that if they give up myself they want have any leverage and will just be killed how do you make them disarm voluntarily. i think the this army. issue and the withdrawal from the cities and old the military speaks of resolving the conflict where we're all issues to have discussed comprehensive the in the kuwaiti goshi asians and there were a number of solutions that has been built and even the roadmap for that implementation and i think if people look back a is the records and try to extract from them the proposal as to what we're made for disarmament for withdrawal as for own and oversee that we're not that nobody
1:45 am
told parties would be satisfied with them but i think it's a starting point for people to negotiate and give concessions on all of these issues because unless these issues are resolved the the hostilities will continue we in the g.c.c. have always see that the long peace and no stability in yemen will continue if there are many shows in the country of any type let alone having also the militias of the terrorist groups. so this is a real challenge that has to be addressed so are you aware and are still a part of ex-president salish general people's congress he was an ally. and then they start fighting and then he was killed what are sallust people doing now are they joining the saudi backed travel how do you are staying with the who says well let me tell you something i always. get disappointed really when join the list and
1:46 am
continues talk about side. so i was a leader of the g.p.c. but we are members of u.b.c. are not offside us. u.b.c. is a national party with three million members in the country the largest party in the country and the most trusted bharti in the country. lation with the horses started after the. the worst of the coronation started and we were against the war so this is what united us with the horses but subsequently when the horses did not adhere to the many agreements that we have with them including how the political council that's how the government how about the with the running of the government institutions side
1:47 am
felt it was time for him to break this relationship with with the with the horses and this is what being is connected into the. conflict between the sea and the horses so no i think we owe it was issued in b.c. is that we are working on ensuring that the means united to face the challenges and the. and the very serious attempts to try to break it down into fragmented i think we are united to achieve that that we have the wrong way to do it because we are confronting a lot of problems in this process surely are and i remember a former president once saying that ruling jam and it's like dancing on the heads of snakes that's his quote how can any kind of stability in such a place be reached where alliances are always shifting and everyone seems to fight
1:48 am
everyone else. well i think that's a very serious important question i think what we need that he really is when we draft in the company his if peace agreement is that we understand that we have to eliminate all these snakes so that no new drug will come in sit or. dancing on the heads of the cynics that this can be his if agreement for peace will ensure that that is the only partnership in ruling the country there is a fairness in distribution of wealth fairness in developing a democratic and the federal state in a way that to me. assure all parts of the country that they are getting their right in government and in and running their affairs i think that we have learnt a lot i think since two tours two thousand and eleven to know that there are many
1:49 am
mistakes before so two thousand but we made even more mistakes after two thousand and eleven and it is time for us now to stop the conflict to sit around the table give concessions get our main concern to the people of yemen to the twenty five or twenty nine million people now who are starving who are dying because of the war and because of the. core the selfishness of the political leadership so when the war broke out there there were just to conflicting sides to how the government and the histories now there's the rebels and the south are in relation to its forces loyal to the late president salih al qaeda has to arab intervention left the country more fractured than it was before is yemen on a way to becoming the next libya rate maybe even worse what i think sisterly i think the coalition will read that into more fractured and actually stir into the
1:50 am
parties that they want to to. eliminate. president hadi on whose behalf the coalition is fighting isn't even based in yemen he lives in saudi capital riyadh al-jazeera reported in two thousand and seventeen that he is under house arrest how independent is he really how can he rule the country if he isn't there physically i mean at least president salih was on the front line tailed and with his soldiers i don't think it is important to him that he's in prison or or not what's important is he the allies this as he claims and the world community. insist on that he is the president of the of human and therefore he has to adhere to his responsibilities as president of yemen and look at the interests of the yemeni people and i think the interests of the many people now is to for him to be a major role in ending the conflict and get in yemen into stability and
1:51 am
. reconsideration process but do you think that writing on the shelves of foreign forces into the country is a good foundation for a future stability how long can heidi realistically last once his backers win and go home especially saying how he was overthrown once already. i think again this is part of the responsibility of the special envoy in the international community how as i say that there has to be gotten to is for all parties to two feet to feel that this settlement is going to safeguard their interests with the brzezinski and the government of national unity it once established is to go to get the country through a transitional period that will then and in a. political. process for
1:52 am
a complete solution. thank you very much for your insight for talking to dr abu bakar up to the former foreign minister of yemen discussing the humanitarian and political disaster in the country and that's it for this edition of stuff and call i will see you next. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. a lot of sympathy but i want to. run i want to ask about what many of them look for
1:53 am
refuge in the so-called saying tree sides of the refuse to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities. the last band called. on i guess i'm in a lot of that. what are their options to stay in the country well. donald trump in the white house all over for the gravel. both of you what is the who do you beat up to the loop of those assisted struggles of many couples won't. kill which at the push to put impulse response goes both of those of you out to a few of the hope of the. u.s. the sonic laying to this idea of the u.s. dollar reserve currency empire they've built over a post world war two era where everyone gets into debt and america and pays homage to america china russia iran africa maimane they're all saying no we want
1:54 am
markopolos up even trump wants markopolos up we want to go for it we want to trade directly bilaterally we don't want to be part of the globalization any more. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it means to me death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict just found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying who's just moved to the present and that we're even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families want to that's going to give them peace and it's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.
1:55 am
join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. me and. this is crude oil. so the heat actually physically pulled it out of the ground you would have well well. there's a lot of money with the oil and with that comes. a lot of a lot of people from all over the country. if you don't make a hundred thousand dollars a year. as a minimum there's an issue. here in the. they work well
1:56 am
sixteen hours a day it's hard work well work it's not easy work and so they want to relieve their stress and how do they relieve their stress. that outweigh that comfort that. people have been murdered up here people been raped they're massive drug issues up here you have a boom you have everything else that comes along with money. stories here one oxy a wake up call for the. cold as polls predict that main coalition the c.s.u. will put in its worst performance in decades in a very is upcoming elections. it will be threatens to close its airports if
