u.n.'s stance post their announcements where they had expected the u.n. to come out with a stronger support for them and more rigorous action against the houthi coup. and maybe that's why now they are reassessing their position. obviously all of this in light of the fact that these reports of weapons being sent to the houthis just shows you the disparity in terms of the different sides with one side barely unified in its opposition to the coup and lacking international -- real international support in terms of at least arms or some sort of acknowledgment that they represent democracy. and other on the other side you have the houthis who have all the guns, all the weaponry and are -- if these reports turn on the to be true, have the supports of not only russia and iran in terms of diplomatically at the united nations but also in terms of hard weaponry and fuel being sent to them. >> jamal thank you for updating us on that. speaking for us from southern yemen in aden. >>> now people in the live i can't city are assessing the damage a -- assessing the damage a day avi i didn't want lane offed attacks on targets. cairo says the strikes killed several isil fighters in the raid. but civilians include children appear to have been affected as well. meanwhile security in egypt has been stepped up. armed vehicles have been deployed on roads and highways in every province of egypt. their job is to keep public buildings and property safe and secure. >>> egypt had reportedly been planning an operation against isil for months, in coordination with the u.ncked government. delegates from that government are in cairo to discuss the next steps. meanwhile, france has called on the u.n. security council to take action against armed groups in libya italy has also indicated it would participate in any military i want sense in libya. and soon after launching those air strikes in lake yeah, egypt signed a multi billion dollars deal with france for new military hardware. nadine barber reports now from paris. >> reporter: ours after egyptian war plains bombed isil targets in libya a new boost for president sisi and his government. french minister was in cairo on monday sign an arms deal worth almost $6 billion. >> translator: egypt was the first country to buy the mirage 2000 jet fighters and today was the first to choose our jet fighters 67 the contract includes 24-bench built fighter jets their first ever foreign sale as well as missiles and a navel frig frigot. it's a boost for the company which has failed to seal major contracts in the last fe

u.n. we have seen a push to take on isil on the ground in libya by militia there. and now libya calling for u.n.'s help. how is that that playing out? >> a big diplomatic push by egypt. he is having a series of meetings are diplomats. i'm told he is going to be meeting arab ambassadors later in the day, and meeting in about five hour's time with the u.ncretary general, ban ki-moon. we also is going to meeting with the russian ambassador. he said he would be listening to the comments of the egyptian foreign minister. and i think russia being a permanent member of the security council, its position on the egyptian plan is key. remember russia rather reluctantly supported the resolution in 2011 on libya, which lead to nato being in there in the skies and carrying out air strikes. russia in some ways believes it was tricked by that resolution. so the russia position could be key in all of this. the other question i think that will be asked by diplomats, is the scale of what egypt is proposing. are they planning a small operation as part of a coalition to deal with isil in libya, or are they going to go in to libya in a much bigger way? none of that is clear. it will though i think become clearing. as i say things moving fast in the u.n. security council meeting we're hearing may well take place 24 hours from now with the egyptian foreign

u.n.'s pointman in iraq says he's heard reports but was unable to confirm positively anything like this. iraq wants the security council to investigate a very serious matter already for the u.n. and the world regarding isis. the iraqi ambassador says there are middlemen and buyers, the organs flown out from airports that isis controls. >> so disturbing. michael weiss, you have something to add that to as well? >> there's a report a few months ago by my friend at buzzfeed that isis was attempting to auction off the remains of the journalist james foley for $1 million. they're doing anything they can to make money at this point. i've heard reports that they went from making about $3 million a month to making $1 million a month. it's all manner of things, contraband, weapons, cars, things like that. organ harvesting, there's no evidence and i hasten to say that. but it wouldn't surprise me. they're crucifying people, beheading people, setting people alight in cages. >> the white house says the ultimate solution for conquering terror is economic opportunity in an open society. >> there is a kernel of truth in that statement. it is true one of the reasons that isis has managed to

u.n.'s role particularly the envoy because consistency with negotiations as they continued is the houthis and the malitia who has the coup are more and more powerful as long as negotiations continued and are asking why u.n. continues the strategy and surely must be another senior politicians and another strategy to ensure that this coup is reversed and that legitimacy is restored. on a security perspective and security front more violence across the country, this time on thursday there was an attack by what is understood to be al-qaeda militants on an army base in the providence the significant here is that this army base is close proximity to the oil production center of yemen. also significance is these al-qaeda militants who have taken control of the army base said they were doing this because they said the army had capitulated and given essentially its bases in other cities particularly a few days ago to houthis as the houthis advance southward toward the rest of the country and al-qaeda wanted to open a new frontier against them. more instability, more security concerns across the country. >>> and egyptian court granted bail to two al jazeera journalists and they were detained for 411 days in the cairo prison and accused of going with the out lawed muslim brotherhood and they deny and al jazeera does also and resume on february 23rd and we report. >> reporter: this could be the beginning of the end for an ordeal that lasted for more than 400 days al jazeera producers fahmy and mohamed granted bail at the start of retrail and come as a huge relief for their families. >> translator: i'm going immediately to tell the kids their father is coming home today and life will be beautiful. i'll wait to welcome him back life has changed today. >> reporter: he was asked by the judge to pay a security bond of around $33,000. >> we will abide by everything in egyptian law and i'm sure he always will be vindicated by this and indicated from this case. >> reporter: but the judicial fight for mohamed and fahmy will continue until the charges are dropped. he was initially sentenced ten years and fahmy 7 years in prison and that decision was recently overturned egypt's highest court of appeals challenged the evidence presented by the prosecution saying the proceedings were flawed an ordered a retrial. [cheers] earlier this month another al jazeera journalist peter greste was deported to australia after 400 days in detention. fahmy who is an egyptian canadian was told by the authorities that his only way to freedom is to renounce his egyptian egyptian citizenship and fahmy and greste were arrested in december 2013. they were falsely accused of promoting the banded muslim brotherhood. the bail release is a small step in the right direction but it's a step that should have been taken 411 days ago. there is no evidence that they have been complicit with the muslim brotherhood and no evidence they have been involved in terrorism journalists are frightened and been made frightened in their organizations have been frightened by the fact that these journalists are in jail. >> reporter: the

chance to improve things. germany and france france and germany together show that we have made a contribution in accordance with europe. >> reporter: of course we have been here before. literally. minsk welcomes leaders for a peace summit back in the late summer of 2014 but the ceasefire quickly fell apart. the agreements were never properly implemented. you can sign as many pieces of paper that you want but it's what happens on the ground that matters. and in eastern ukraine the fighting and the dying continued as the leaders talked. the separatists representatives have signed the new minsk deal and enforcing the new zone and pulling back artill arare i and making sure hostages released and pushing through assurances of political reform in the east will be a torture of a process with many opportunities for failure, rory with al jazeera, minsk. >>> despite the agreement fighting between government forces and the rebels continues in eastern ukraine, at least one person has been

that direction and tell us we cannot go in front of the building because there are dangerous snipers. the fighters here are unsure what the minsk agreement will mean for them. >> translator: we will stay here unless we get an order from commanders to retreat or advance and holding defense position to help protect the town. >> reporter: separatist leaders said the agreement could have far reaching
