what about america engaging in militarily on yemeni territory?> i think america will look at it at various levels. i think they will talk about what are the best options to prevent terror attacks, but also how do you engage with the community there. how do you work with them to empower them? how do you establish rule of law? things that are important for civil society. >> what about the threat that emanates from yemen from al- qaeda? >> and think this is a growing problem. i think the al-qaeda and in the arabian peninsula is one of the most active groups of al-qaeda. they look at where opportunity is best, poverty-stricken areas. we can probably expect places like yemen are hotbeds of activity. >> what is clear is that al- qaeda is fixated very much on airlines. united kingdom, germany introduced new security measures on air freight. there is a limit to what you can do. >> it is an enormous challenge. there are no restrictions that come in at midnight this evening. and you will see a review, not just an united kingdom, but also in the united stat

. >> the yemeni security forces need intelligence and technology if they are to defeat al qaeda. the u.s. and britain are providing both, and this will be stepped up, but finding al qaeda among the population is now a race against time. bbc news. >> as the new air restrictions were being announced, the government of yemen announced it had its own exceptional cargo requirements. the bomb plot has deepened the desire in the international community. our middle east editor has this assessment. >> student capital residents. thank you, said one person. the chances are that they're real people are long gone. paid sermons by radical clerics are in open sale, but al qaeda on the arabian peninsula is basically in the remote regions of yemen, far away, controlled by tribes, and not by the central government. a yemeni government official was in london today. >> we are fighting this, and we are doing the best that we can do. we are doing more than our share. >> light is very hard for most people in yemen. unemployed, and great, young men are obvious recruits for al qaeda bj unemployed, angry,

we also must consider the yemeni government to have to deal with other problems in their country. the british are cochairs of the program with the saudis. there was a meeting of the u.n. general assembly. there will be further meetings. the aim is to pressurize and work with the yemeni government to do with the issues that affect the wider region and those that affect us, too. we will go as committed with our development budget to ensure that development is going to yemen so that a short-term issue of getting the yemeni government to concentrate on what matters and the longer term of economic development which badly needs to approvimprove. >> thank you for keeping the house updated. mr. speaker, the prime minister has talked a lot about restoring trust in politics. what does he expect of members of his government who gave cast- iron guarantees to their voters six months ago so they would a vote against a rise against tuition fees? >> what i would say to everyone who is part of this government is that i think they have all taken, frankly, some courageous and difficult decisions. to

military strikes on al qaeda groups occupying the country claiming that they were carried out by yemeni forces not by the u.s. back in january their president spoke directly with general david petraeus and he said we'll continue saying the bombs are ours not yours and the cable further reveals that the yemeni president even will lie to his parliament about who was responsible for the attacks now another cable reveals that secretary of state hillary clinton signed off on orders for u.s. diplomats to spy on diplomats from other countries at the u.n. the diplomats were told to get information about e-mail accounts credit cards passwords and other highly sensitive biometric information biometric information meaning iris scans passport photos fingerprints and d.n.a. and it looks like the u.s. wanted to keep a very close eye on u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon intending on intending information about his. and intentions for sensitive issues like iran and remember these are just a solo act few of thousands of cables so now they have a better gist of what sensitive information has been leaked

there is therefore a short-term issue of getting the yemeni government to concentrate on what matters, and a longer-term issue about economic development in the yemen, which badly needs to improve. >> i thank the prime minister for that answer, and thank him and the home secretary for keeping the house updated on those issues. i know that they will continue to do so. let me turn elsewhere. the prime minister has talked a lot about restoring trust in politics. what does he expect of members of his government who gave cast- iron guarantees to their voters six months ago that they would vote against a rise in tuition fees? >> what i would say to everyone who is part of the government is that i think that they have all taken some courageous and difficult decisions to deal with something that, frankly, we all want. i think that every single person in the house of commons wants strong universities that are well funded and have greater independence. we want to ensure that people from the poorest homes can go to the best universities in our country. the proposals will achieve that. they grew

terrorism on the other hand we know as you said in the introduction that we don't go well with the yemeni public and the government knows very well that if we show up even as. assets in the country it will be known at some point and he will have a political crisis so it's going to be a balance between both sides but i mean i thought that we already started waging these special operations in yemen after the failed christmas day bombing attempt right that was in december of last year so now here we are almost a year later and now they have to ramp it up again i mean does that prove to you that whatever they have been doing has been failing they haven't yet captured or killed any of the top. from the al qaeda in the arabian peninsula they haven't done a lot that's correct because they did not arrest or stop or allow lucky because there was this extremely exotic told and quote because it was able to throw us through our lines of defense had it not been an intelligence given to us by the saudis who got the information from a decision from al qaida we could have a very big problem we could have

yemenis are complaining they did not create al-qaeda, but all of them are getting the blame. their consent is needed for what ever happens next. as one western diplomat put it, and what we can just kill our way out of this crisis -- we can just kill our way out of this crisis. >> united states has banned printer cartridges and toner from all air-traffic. a ban on all air cargo from yemen has been expanded to include somalia. the u.s. says the measures will remain in place until screening procedures in both countries are improved. a top-level conference of iraqi leaders met today and northern iraq. its aim was to find a way out of the political deadlock which has held up the formation of a new government for more than eight months. eight months after the inconclusive elections in march. it is the first time they have on that at the same time since those elections. from baghdad, we have the story. >> they were all there, all the main players in the current struggle over who should the new government and help our should be shared. with only the president between them, the incumb

continue saying the bombs are ours, not yours," yemen's president tells petraeus, prompting another yemeni official at the meeting to joke that he had just lied by telling parliament that yemeni forces had carried out the attack. u.s. officials have condemned the leaks as outrageous and dangerous, and, dan, they have taken steps to ensure that nothing like this can ever happen again. for example, in changes that have already been implemented, it is now impossible for a single individual to move classified information off a government computer. >> jon, stick around, because we want to come back to you in a moment. but let's go now to jim sciutto, who is over in london. jim, given the angry response we're hearing from the obama administration tonight, the question is, how bad is all of this for our national security? >> reporter: well, dan, the key affect here may be diplomatic discomfort, but serious enough to affect key relationships with u.s. allies. and in a sign of just how concerned u.s. officials are, the damage control began long before today's release. >> reporter: there are unflatt
