the current talks we are seeing between saudi arabia and the houthis is between the saudis and the houthist that's not including the other parties. even what is called the central government that used to be in power, today it is marginalized. it is not taking an active role in these negotiations. we are seeing saudis and yemeni's meeting in the negotiating. those that were in power before the war started, they are not part of the negotiations. folly: what about the yemeni rowdies? they were part of the saudi led coalition but there seems to be tensions between the mr rowdies and the saudis, and we know of course they back -- are they on board with this process? ibrahim: they are supporting militia in the south. it is not part of any political talks. they have their own security and territories that are in control of this. so that is another challenge actually. even if it is solved between saudi arabia and the houthis, you still need to talk of the emirates and their luscious, you need to talk -- and their political parties. and you need to all show -- which are all excluded from any talks.

will yemen be left in the hands of the houthis?— hands of the houthis?e houthis? i very much doubt that, the reality _ hands of the houthis? i very much doubt that, the reality is - hands of the houthis? i very much doubt that, the reality is they - doubt that, the reality is they don't have the upper hand, and this is why you've seen a lot of people, including myself, thinking if we don't tweak this peace agreement, it doesn't have a holistic and comprehensive approach — and let's not kid ourselves, the houthis are a bit of a brutal regime, silencing dissent, they're not very accommodating to the democratic processes. but again, in terms of breaking the deadlock, it's a step in the right direction. the yemeni government have been giving a lot of concessions to the houthis to come to the table, a mechanism where they will keep them in check. let's get more now on the appearance of us airman, jack teixeira, who's appeared in court accused of leaking confidential us intelligence and defence documents. let's get more from chad sweet. can you hear me, chad?

i think now the houthi's are in an even stronger position.n saudi who the direct contacts all along throughout the conflict, but now to do it in the houthi's capital seems to be a goodwill gesture or even a concession on the part of the saudis. why this is happening now seems to be linked to the saudi running in talks that have been brokered by china, which came out a week or two ago. something must have happened in those talks that convinced the saudis that now wasn't the right time to go to sana'a for these negotiation. the united states is an la of saudi arabia, the uk, france, they also supported the saudi—led coalition. do you think that they could have done more, sooner, earlier, to try and bring this conflict to an end quicker?— and bring this conflict to an end quicker? well, i can tell ou end quicker? well, i can tell you what— end quicker? well, i can tell you what the _ end quicker? well, i can tell you what the us _ end quicker? well, i can tell you what the us conundrum | end quicker? well, i can tell- you what the us conundrum w

we heard from the houthis particularly, saying thatj houthis particularly, saying that her committeestigate the incident, and a houthi security official announced that three people have been detained and suspected of involvement in the incident. some houthi officials have visited the stampede site when the survivors in hospital, including also one of those officials who is the houthi prime minister, who visited the stampede site, and this is what he said there. translation: we are firstly checking on the injured and those who died. . all the relevant officials have proceeded with their legal duties to examine this unfortunate event and to find a serious solution for this to never happen again. this stampede is a huge tragedy. it isa it is a complicated political situation in yemen. can you remind us what is happening, it is the houthis who are in control? yes. us what is happening, it is the houthis who are in control? yes, it is very complicated, _ houthis who are in control? yes, it is very complicated, the _ houthis who are in control? yes, it is very complicated, the war - houthi

some of it are basic practical steps, houthis. some of it are basic practicalsteps, like houthis. practical steps, like the payment of people who work for the public sector, the salaries that haven't been paid because the way the country has fractured. the reopening of the ports in yemen, which have been close virtually for the whole of the wall. to put pressure on the houthis is, to stop weapons and other things like that getting into the country. and then beyond that, even more ambitious, a political transition. whether they actually get into that at this stage, that might be something which is so difficult, they may leave that for later. but also a timeline for the exit of all the foreign fighters who are in the country. again, that could be quite a difficult obstacle to get past. and a plan for rebuilding the country. i mean, yemen was already in a powerless state before this full eruption into conflict back in 2015, it had years of chaos, small awards in the north and in the south. it was the poorest country in the arab world, so the prospect of trying to rebuild the country,

still an optimistic alignment, since there is evidence that in saudi arabia, during shelling by the houthisre shot down only one target out of four actually. first, no. e no so far, that evidence that these complexes will be able to shoot down. uh, such missiles, for example, uh, the same missiles, 122. secondly, they are supplied in the amount of just one battery. but this is probably one-twentieth or one-thirtieth of the actual minimum need for such complexes in ukraine in general, it is not worth underestimating the possibilities of a bloodworm, but of course it should not be overestimated, the more surprising. you see in the tape a supposedly russian resource. scenario captures by zelensky’s troops of the kursk or belgorod regions, or compliments to the complexes favenger, which, again, allegedly proved to be an effective killer of the geranium-2 uav. in short, you read this and you get the impression that the military-technical support and strategic planning of the bandera people is much. better than our fighters and that's it. this is again under the sauce of patriotic concern, but th

this is video footage from al masirah, a tv station linked to the houthi rebel group, which controlsanaa. the video was picked up by the reuters news agency and it purports to show the incident in the bab—al—yemen area of the city. as you can see, it's an apparent crush of people, many of whom look to be in distress. we will have more on this story as it updates. now to sudan where the latest ceasefire has failed. these are pictures from the capital, khartoum. witnesses say gunfire was still being heard across the city. both sudan's army and the paramilitary group it's fighting, the rsf, had agreed to the ceasefire, and it's not clear which side or both has broken it. civilians like these are fleeing khartoum. over the past five days, more than 270 people have died in the fighting. and it's worsened sudan's humanitarian crisis. people have limited food, water and medical supplies. the un says 16 hospitals across sudan have been forced to shut down completely, nine of them, in the capital. let's hear from them. the humanitarian response in sudan remains severely hampered. attacks agai
