muhammed, explain to us the polite of these refugees, what it is they're going through. >> let me try to set the scene explaining the mindset of some of these refugees that are here in lebanon. many of them have escaped the war in neighboring syria. they're in a country now where they number about a fourth of the population, well over a million syrian refugees here in lebanon in a country where because of the political situation, there are no official encampments, settlements where makeshift settlements dot the landscape. there is little if any opportunity to advance here, a situation to dire in fact that many refugees we've spoken with in order to get medical care have to cross back into war-torn syria because it's not affordable enough here in lebanon. this journey this boat journey that is so horrifying written refugees get in boats in libya to cross the mediterranean is known os the journey of death and yet more and more are taking it more and more are spending their entire life savings to get smuggled on to one of those boats to try to cross the mediterranean and try to have a be

. >> joining us now here in the studio is muhammed kabati, advisor to the past three yemeni prime ministers. let's talk about the we're hearing about possibly troops disembarking in aden. u.s. troops are on the ground. what are they telling you? >> reuters had information that came out that there are forces in the port of aden, but we got in touch with our people there who told us actually there was an evacuation of some of those in aden who were going to be taken by a chinese frig gat. there was shooting at the trig gat. this perhaps gave the idea that there is landing of troops. >> this is not a ground operation. >> we can't confirm it at all. the people are aden are looking for something like that. civilians are being hit these houthis will have in fill traded now, holding on top of the mount bees and crater and hitting at the civilians. i mean, it's crater, which is one of the very, you know, densely populated part of aden. >> we saw civilians also suffering in sanna, as well as aden as you mentioned. you believe that a ground operation is necessary at this stage, that aerial bombardmen

muhammed has been working for three years. while there's no pay rise to off set the tax rise, he knows he'll have less money in his pocket. >> the new tax is a burden. it will take longer for me to save. i can see a rise in my rental and pay more for basics. >> it's not just restaurants affected. everything with a price tag is taxed. there are few exceptions. >> are you ready? >> trying to convince the public that while in significant taxes are being removed the tax will be fair to all. there have been protests like these against the new tax and the government handling of the economy. >> the auditor general's report has showcased so much the last few years ranging into billions of u.s. dollars. this is not the time to pass the burden to the people to pay off government debts. >> according to the government, the new tax scheme will raise approximately $8 billion, and it will hit middle income earners those that aspire to buy cars, motor vehicles and the fuel that they need. while government health care, public transport and som

. >> returning notch to the situation in yemen joining us now is muhammed kabati, advisor to the past three yemeni ministers. let's start with the latest news we're hearing from the associated press that houthi rebels have captured the presidential palace in aden. tell us about the significance of aden, because the fighting has been quite fierce there in the last couple of days. >> the fighting is mostly centered around the oldest part of the city of aden. actually the fighting is actually not to the real presidential palace, but where the president used when he came down last time to stay. the presidential palace is on the other side, so i think they have been after this just for its symbolic meaning just to say we are now controlling even where and to drive a message that they have even driven the president, that was the original plan they wanted to sort of reach that point whereby they could give it to the iranians and say we even have aden in our hands. we're in touch with people there and there is fear fighting still outside far away. the problem is that the area around where the

officials are offering as $215,000 reward for information about muhammed muhammed.y's attack by al shabab terrorists left 147 people dead most of them students. joining me is the chief africa correspondent for the african news channel inca. robin creel who covered thursday's terror attack. i want you to bring us the latest on the manhunt for the alleged mastermind. we understand the four attackers were killed in the siege yesterday. what do we know about this individual? >> well we know that he's from that area. he is from garissa town. he's well known to have led certain factions of al shabab al qaeda-linked militant group. al shabab especially in the juba region that's the border really between kenya and somalia. he has been wanted for a long time in connection with a number of other bloody murders in especially in the case of a quarry massacre as it were where about 30 miners were shot dead in their sleep. he has been wanted by kenyan authorities for a long time. they've now upped the price on his head. >> i understand there was a gret against this university by

. >> let's speak to muhammed, a member of the political wing of the houthi movement and their spokesman. i'd like to get your response and reaction first to what yemen foreign minister has told us. he says experts from iran, syria and hezbollah are supporting your fighters in yemen. what do you respond? >> this is not true. saudi arabia has imposed and tried to impose stages. iran cannot reach yemen. these accusations are not true at all and we are accustomed to these from previous wars. >> it says the rapes were involved in the kidnapping of a defense minister. >> this is not true, again. the defense minister is not kidnapped. he's a president now and moved from sanna to aden and he started pushing the cams there and hadi was taken as a prisoner in a war. the brother of the form he were president in yemen. >> you've taken him as a prisoner. i just want to ask you about the situation on the ground currently, because there are reports that you're losing ground in aden and taiz, the army making gains there. can you tell us your situation now? are you on the back foot in taiz and aden. >>

let's bring in al jazeera's muhammed on the saudi-yemeni border. we were entering a new phase announced yesterday so why are we seeing new airstrikes in taiz? >> it is a new phase but is not completely a different phase. for those who thought that the announcement yesterday night by the leadership of the coalition is the end of the war they might be disappointed today. the saudi arabia and its allies launched a series of strikes at least two confirmed to us. one was after the announcement of the end of the war in aden when tanks in possession of the houthis were seen moving to areas from which they were expelled a few days ago in the area of the coastal line of aden where the presidential palace is located, the house of president hadi and also government buildings. also in taiz today airstrikes against houthi positions and fighters when they tried to take the base of the brigade 35, which is loyal to president hadi. that's exactly what the saudi's warned of when they announced the end of the first phase of this war which they called decisive storm

. >> good to have you with us, muhammed. quite clear from reports the images we're seeing, airstrikes alone are not stopping the houthis from their ability to march into aden, correct? >> from the latest development we're hearing that's a fact. the airstrikes have never been enough. if you look at the history of wars airstrikes have never been so decisive in finishing wars, particularly when you have a country like yemen mountainous and the houthis are easily blending with the population whenever they want, and so they have the support of almost the entire yemeni army, talking about all the supporters of ali abdullah saleh because he that been recruiting only during the last few decades recruiting his army only from the yazidis. we have two powers helping each other here. >> you're saying a ground operation becomes more urgent from the saudi-led coalition. >> and the them knee foreign minister has been reiterate that go exactly saying that the airstrikes will not -- however let's say here that see how the two sides are playi

. >> also trapped muhammed, we're hearing civilians. >> sure. >> mounting civilian casualties. >> yes. >> criticism of the houthis and their shelling and the airstrikes. >> the people came out of those bases and went between the civilians, so you cannot target them. let's remember, out of this five bases is one line of array. they are not allowed to meet, these five bases the people who are there half of them are now can't get out. they are fighting their way trying to control the whole of the city and they're fighting civilians inside the city. but outside them, there are forces which is the biggest military base in yemen they couldn't come, because there's another area of line they were hit. they cannot meet. you have got three lines or echelons they are trying to meet but they cannot meet. >> a lot of civilians seem to be getting caught up in this. do you think there will be support for that russian proposal to try to get a humanitarian pause to the fighting? >> what we have heard if you remember, there is the naval base there and maybe could i mean there there is naval evacuation

. >> this is the home of my brother, muhammed. they hit his home at 2:00 a.m. it was a random bombing of civilians. we woke to find the house recognitioned to rubble. >> the international red cross is preparing two planes loaded with urgent aid. that may provide little comfort to the millions of yemenis caught in the crossfire. >> we just heard from the deputy editor in chief of the newspaper. let's go back to him for more updates from aden. good to have you with us again. i understand a lot of fighting focused on the port in aden. where has that left the port area? >> well, the port is divided in aden from the beginning of the aden port where all the fighting is now happening the houthis are bombarding the city with tank cannon. this is making life a living hell for people there. a lot of children are getting killed inside these tall buildings. people are existing as best they could in aden. the houthis have advanced to the beginning of the port. now, the danger is that they're at the other end the prince of wales peer, there are a lot of people waiting for sh

muhammed is a kenyan national and al shabab member. >> i was arrested while buying food. i was in charge of logistics. i used to conduct role calls for the fighters and distributed uniforms. i was recruited by a relative. once in, i had no way of backing out, as anyone who dried to escape was killed. >> he used to operate in th al shabab training camp 60 kilometers from the port city. the camp is under the command of the man kenya say master minded the garissa attack in which 148 people were killed by al shabab. >> it's a huge camp. there are about 300 fighters, foreigners and somalis. all camps are geared towards attacks in kenya. >> we met youth arrested while on their way to join al shabab. >> we were heading there when we were arrested, we were given a map by a recruiter and the names of the cities to pass through to get to our destination. we'd run out of funds and decided to go on foot once we entered somalia. for now the june land troops celebrate their modest gains. they say they will need more support effectively secure the border and hopefully live up to kenya's

muhammed touched on this, but who was the audience that the vice president was speaking to today? >> obviously the yemenis the message was clever clear the yemenese. there was a political vacuum since september 2014, to leadership leadership was under house arrest. yemenese are worried about the future of the state future of the government. now, with adou rabbo mansour hadi in riyadh now for a while saying we are here, we are still functioning, there is a government and you are as yemenese that is the main audience. he wants also to send a message to those who are helping yemenese the coalition and those in the resolution, saying thank you for supporting the yemenese people. he admitted there are challenges ahead and yemenis should be prepared for the challenge. >> who has the power the weight to get the competing sides to the table? it seems that iran is attempting to position itself as such. how realistic is that? >> i think with the resolution imposing sanctions, they are being cornered. i'm not sure they can play a role in the restoration. of course saudi arabia does not want

. >> through muhammed ali. >> then he had this that.was basically and howard wound up ripping ruin in the book. howard at the end of the day unless you were pretty much always kissing howard's ass he would turn on you. and howard really lated the fact that ruin and frank gifford were so close. and they had been for a lot of years and they socialized together. >> he-- he denigrated everybody, gifford meredith didn't matter who it was. and sooner or later i was kind of like the new kid on the block for a while. so i was excused. and then i got some shots in the book toward the end. but it was a shame because he just went out with guns blazing against everybody. sad, sad. >> o.j. simpson. >> how close were you? >> well we were colleagues. we had worked together over a period of time on track & field. at the olympics and some superstar shows and all of that. he was a neighbor. and in those years we had moved from the bay area. >> in los angeles. >> and i had lived in brentwood. and oj lived five or six blocks from me. so he became my tennis

muhammed, thank you. >> in iraq, government forces as i the tide has shifted in are are in rimadi. government recovered key territory from isil. fighting forced more than 100,000 people to flee, but thousands are now turning around and heading back toward the city. >> developing news out of france. police say they may have prevented an imminent attack. investigators arrested a 24-year-old college student in paris, saying he admitted to planning to attack churches in a suburb. they also link him to the murder of a teacher. officers found automatic weapons, bulletproof vests and computer equipment in his car and dorm room. >> italy's prime minister is calling for comprehensive action from european leaders to help end its refugee advise. hundreds of migrants rescued are being brought to shore this morning. one ship docked in the port of augusta with migrants, another loaded with 100 more arrived in lampedusa hours ago. libya has arrested hundreds planning to make that voyage. we are joined now live in the port city. what more do we know about this sting operation in libya? >> the deta

god wants you to do it is a matter of time before we say maybe it is not with god or the profit muhammed. the arab spring is not dismissed it is remarkable. the second to point coming from the arab spring is the elections of to be shed in egypt this seems an there is a substantial budding of the population with the agenda for political change based on sharia law or secular law of the matter how imperfect that id tunisia and it makes a choice to go with a second government. it is fragile but it is something we need to note in my view. if we could do anything we need to help teach will survive. we also sought the election in egypt. in that instance people's supported and subscribe to a government based on sharia law. it was one year old. when many egyptians conspired to make that change. they still had that energy to make a choice between two very bad options. sharia law that came about through the ballot box or the secular and military lot. in the egyptians went with secular lot. then we saw the civil wars iraq and syria and yemen and libya. but to be more accurate a policy more receptive
