talks for geneva if you were with us this time yesterday you'll remember that the talks were on again off again it looks like they've most certainly been called off in their entirety un brokered talks to end the war have collapsed before they even began the government delegation is set to leave geneva we understand after rebel representatives did not fly in the negotiations over safety concerns now who the rebels say they did not have an aircraft or permission from u.s. and saudi representatives to their respective governments to leave yemen almost ten thousand people have been killed since the war began three years ago david chaytor is our correspondent live for us this hour in geneva david so on again off again it looks like they're not going to happen. they're not going to happen i've confirmed that with the foreign minister of the yemen government who is leaving in the car behind me for the united nations he says he feels a sense of dismay he's just leaving now. he says he feels a sense of dismay that these hopes for conservation talks have actually collapsed he of course blames t

right lee great now a line just came in to us and that the who the delegation has not left for geneva as was the shadow is there a reason for that. yes it was a deal of the two struck with the united nations envoy preeminently was in on our find. a deal was a plane that will take many trips to moscow it will take as little. critically injured civilians the school region as there are thousands of people a few million will need medical help outside yemen and oman has also to treat these people in moscow but yesterday they might nation actually did not keep its. really gave information are and they say they will still only a small you in flight to take early and then we need to get to geneva that's why the delegates are has refused. because they say that this was not what we have agreed people say is the position then that the delegations attendance at the talks in geneva is contingent upon the evacuation of this group of people who you say are critically injured and these people to get medical treatment in the omani capital muscat is that what you're saying. yes yes that is exactly what

not get up at five you're watching al-jazeera life in geneva as the spokeswoman for the u.n. envoy to yemen runs through the very real very sharp practicalities of trying to get the different warring parties into the same negotiation process in geneva as we stay with those pictures will bring in our correspondent david chaytor who is there as well david confidence building measures as far as the war in yemen is concerned easier said than done. clearly that must be one of the briefest updates i've ever heard from the united nations but they did say that the hopes are still alive that the two parties can be brought together at the geneva headquarters of the united nations the confidence building measures that were being discussed between martin right the special. martin griffiths the special u.n. envoy for the m. and this morning included talks about a possible prisoner swap this would be very complicated it would be overseen by the i c r c the as an international committee of the red cross but it would be very important the envoy said that this is one of the clear measures tha

will the who sees get to geneva or not. they will not get to geneva unless the united nation will keep their promise and the agreement. that was done during the u.n. envoy the latest visit was that. delegation. or money plane with some of. yemenis to oman to must cut and then from there they will take the head of. the team. which is in oman of this time and they will. united nation actually has broke that promise. that's already that coalition they refuse to let on or money plane to come to sanaa to take the. delegation i have to work with some members of these political council in sanaa and they said that clearly that they will not let their delegation be insulted they say that has been done before and as they mentioned after equate athol and two thousand and sixteen when the delegates and i delegate and has come back from kuwait to oman then they lighted a nation on the saudi led coalition didn't did not fight them any place to go back to sanaa and they were stuck in oman in muscat between seventh of august fifteenth . i'

yemen's war have collapsed before the even began properly the government delegation is set to leave geneva after hoofy rebel representatives didn't fly in for the negotiations over safety concerns in the past half hour or so we have been hearing from the u.n. special envoy to yemen martin griffiths he put a positive gloss on where the talks had got to so far even though the who sees say we were not allowed to leave yemen because of airspace control issues live now to geneva because we're going to listen in to mr alyami he is the yemeni foreign minister let's just listen in to what he's saying to gauge his reaction to where these talks are or are not going right now. at the consultation and negotiations and come to an agreement on security measures of withdrawal was the delivery of heavy medium weapon ballistic rockets and others him otherwise. we are continuing with our efforts to restore our sovereignty and our thought ritchie over yemen. however i believe that their absence from geneva is part of their panic of losing their grip on the areas that they control the many people ready to be

delegation delays travel to geneva the latest round of yemeni talks are to be held on thursday. hello welcome to al-jazeera live from doha. coming up. will planes go in the syrian region of killing seventeen people almost three million people are in harms way. typhoon j.b. slams into japan at least ten people are dead and three hundred are injured. plus from watergate to donald trump's white house bob woodward's new book says the u.s. president wanted to have syria's leader assassinated. but first un brokered talks between the warring parties in yemen have apparently stalled sources close to al-jazeera confirmed that a new feet allegation has refused to leave sanaa for geneva the rebel group says preconditions agreed upon by the u.n. have not been met the talks between the internationally recognized government of a dr who mansour hadi and the his these were to be the first public meetings between the parties since twenty sixteen and i've been speaking to hussein out of the presidency journalists he says the u.n. has backtracked on a key condition that was agreed upon ahead of th

organizers of this should take care of is that the discussed like how they're going to come to geneva and what had been in fact them in my opinion that the presents failure for all parties involved they have a. mission and the whole it is. the lead coalition as well for the organizers of the u.n. it's sympathising that you discussed make this international commitment you know for for the negotiations and you have to agree with the horses on how they're going to come to geneva and for the horses to think that it's dangerous to come in the u n play him but that's also that was something knoppix because there would have been a u.n. plane oh yes because the proprietor position was that the company you want to play and the who has insisted that no we can only come to geneva on an all manny in a plane and for this how does let them come in on the money at a plane. why do you insist that. they come north on a you are an airplane because that is then to be finally is that the method of transportation or how they come to geneva that they do a major problem of the failure of this and and only a

briefing here in geneva was in geneva was very very brief it said that the confidence building measures were discussed with the yemeni government delegation who are staying at this hotel behind me in the at port and that was a very important part of the process to try and reestablish trust between the two sides but most importantly i actually spoke to the just spoken to the yemeni government a spokesman for the delegation here and how many said that the people that the rebel delegation of trying to put on the plane include members of his and other members iranian forces who've been training the militia over the last three years and that clearly is not acceptable to them not just a case of wounded fighters or civilians being taken to amman for treatment but they're attempting to get members of the iranian forces who been inside yemen on the side guiding them healthy them training them and that is why it's so on acceptable to them so more details about exactly what's happening and perhaps a better explanation of why days this difficulty trying to get clearance from the saudi led coalition

talks if they say they didn't fly there because of safety concerns david chaytor has more from geneva the collapse of the peace process even before it had begun was a setback to all the efforts of the u.n. special envoy to the yemen but he refused to be discouraged so for me the important . aspect of these last three days is we have started consultations. the process of beginning. the road back to peace has started not quite in the way that we would have wanted. has begun i should be going to moscow during the course of the next few days and hopefully to solve it as well of course to discuss with. you before they left a member of the yemen government delegation told me they would now force to the negotiating table that target the port offered data a vital lifeline for their economy and humanitarian supplies the process in geneva instead of building trust has exposed the gulf that separates the two warring parties and a new rift has opened with the united nations. every time these talks face a wall of irresponsibility by these coup plotters these groups who are exploiting international

difficult it is to come to an agreement in geneva and if we come to an agreement in geneva also imagine how difficult it is to implement the peace agreement. i think. unfortunately the whole of these. i think are the spoiled child of the international community because they said that is the beginning bet is no pay mission from the saudis not qualify to their flight. to geneva and then they mention that they want all money not i might admission. and then they come with this issue off their injuries to be brought with them. to muscat or to any other country to be treated so i think about trying to make it execute not to i think you need that because they know they know for sure that peace agreement in yemen and employment in this process in the country will mean and in the militias call in the country what you're saying is of the who things may be a competent fighting force but they're not competent politicians. exactly exactly they know how to fight but they unfortunately do not know how to negotiate maybe it's due to their lack of experience and politics because they out you know they a

let's go to david in geneva the schedule location for those talks david martin griffiths is very upbeat but it looks like they will be a delay tomorrow that's right and the reason for that delays because of the the hooty rebel delegation is still in the capital of yemen sun and that's because the saudi arabia coalition has refused to give them the plane of the size they needed to transfer. many injured civilians from the fighting to medical treatment in mascot in amman now we don't quite know where that was a precondition of the hooty rebel delegation before they came to sydney ever but it does appear so at the moment and the martin gryphus a special envoy for the yemen said he was quite relaxed about this that these delays were quite usual but it was in consultation with all the parties involved now it does mean that the delegations will not be here tomorrow and the start of the consultation talks will begin only on friday so a snag on the road to his consultation talk if the tunks do go ahead and when they happen in geneva i hold we expect to be there what will they be trying to achie

the peace consultations between the two warring sides were jus to start here at the geneva headquarters on thursday morning but the united nations has now said that will be delayed until friday we don't know exactly what time but the delay is being caused by the fact that the hooty delegation the rebel delegation are still in the capital of sana that is because the saudi arabia at the head of the coalition has refused to allow them to fly now they were jew to go out to a mosque up in amman with some injured civilians for medical treatment but i think this saudi coalition of sea looking at whether they were militiamen exactly who the injured people were and whether there were any iranians of whatever profession also on that flight so this is now all up for consultation with the special envoy for the yemen martin griff this is said he's not worried by that delay this is usual he said and he assured everybody that consultations are going on at the moment to make sure this matter could be cleared up and he also said that many confidence building measures were going to be discussed when the

and they say that the un has not on the preconditions asap for their trip here to geneva those preconditions of course are that they could take some wounded with them on the aircraft for treatment in the oh mom also that the people who have also been treated for their injuries in amman previously could be taken back by the same plane and taken back into sana'a and also they wanted to make sure that the delegation that does come to geneva. also get a guarantee that they will be able to get back into sinai at the end of these consultations of course that was a problem in the last failed talks in kuwait the delegation couldn't get back into the amman into the hoochie held areas so to discuss these latest problems i have with me professor from geneva university who is an expert in this field professor tell me is this brinkmanship or is this a serious problem with the united nations because it's a proxy war between saudi arabia and iran. i think it is a big problem because all of the united nations is limited according to the united nations report. in the humanitarian situation in yemen. shocking

at this hour journey even before the start of the geneva talks to who these claim they have the right to control and govern yemen their claim is rotten and puts pressure on the international community to deal with them what kind of peace can we have with such a group that does not believe in the rights of other people. joins us live now from geneva so david these talks have already been delayed by a day any word on whether the hooky delegation will turn up. the latest we have from the united nations is that they are working on this problem we'll have to wait and see what those negations will end in but the the hoochie rebel delegation still in sana'a the capital of the yemen and they say that the u.n. has not on and the preconditions they sat for that trip here to geneva those preconditions of course are that they could take some wounded with them on the aircraft the treatment in the mom also that the people who've also been treated for the injuries in amman previously could be taken back by the same plane and taken back into sauna and also they wanted to make sure that the delegation

to geneva and then they mention that they want all money not i not to nation fly. a plane and then they come with this issue of their injuries to be brought with them. to musket or to any other country to be treated so i think about trying to make it an execution is not to act in geneva because they know they know for sure that a peace agreement in yemen and employment in this process in the country will mean and in the militias call in the country they know how to fight but unfortunately do not know how to negotiate maybe it's due to their lack of experience and politics because they are quite you know they are not even a political party that i'm a registered. the death penalty has been confirmed against seventy five people for their part in protest against the twenty thirteen military coup in egypt many of them involved in the city in the. square in cairo way ended in the massacre of hundreds of people among the defendants is the former muslim brotherhood spiritual leader mohammed but i received a life sentence about three other senior brotherhood officials were

and simmons and what are the who things saying about why that delegation failed to travel to geneva. nothing official yet they said on many occasions that the reason was safe passage and preconditions they had agreed with the united nations and of course we've heard from martin griffith and he's explaining he's not going into it as david touched on there but really the situation now as david also pointed out is well whether it's extinguishment or not it is grim it certainly is and right up to the last moment these attempts at trying to revive plans to get the rebel delegation to geneva there were even bigger demonstrations right across yemen both in the north and the south in sana'a this was a seeing. another protest over a shattered economy much bigger than previous demonstrations this is the duty rebel held capital city of sana'a what. they want to starve our people to death shame on them we will triumph no matter what the saudi and american enemies do. in government held areas in aden and southern yemen here the aftermath of the six days of protests with shops all closed down but

brokered talks didn't fly to switzerland because of safety concerns as the story from geneva the collapse of the peace process even before it had begun was a setback to all the efforts of the un special envoy to the yemen but he refused to be discouraged so for me the important. aspect of these last three days as we have started consultations. the process of beginning. the road back to peace has started not quite in the way that we would have wanted. but it is begun i shall be going to moscow during the course of the next few days and hopefully all to solve it as well of course to discuss with just before they left a member of the yemen government delegation told me they would now force to the negotiating table that target the port offered data a vital lifeline for their economy and humanitarian supplies the process in geneva instead of building trust has exposed the gulf that separates the two warring parties and a new rift has opened with the united nations if you couldn't every time these talks face a wall of irresponsibility by these coup plotters these groups who are exploiting inter

brokered talks we were talking about in geneva ending before you were abandoned after the delegation wasn't able to show up let's check in with andrew symonds on this one. we were looking so closely at those talks which didn't happen andrew and in the meantime tell us what's happened. well calamity effectively because this is just what margin growth is the u.n. special envoy had feared that her data which is the key ports will the hoochie rebels supply line it's also a critical lifeline for civilians in terms of the limited supplies they get from overseas and indeed medicines food so much and this is really what everyone had feared an escalation and a determination it was seen on the part of the saudi us led coalition to cut it off from the rebel capital sana'a so now what we're seeing is multiple reports of deaths and injuries and they are in their schools now some say in the dozens but this is going on for a twenty four hour period that had been fighting ahead of the geneva talks that but there was a lull so what we're seeing now is really grim if you heard anything from the un on

our correspondent live in geneva well from the halls of the u.n. in europe let's go to an attack here that's in southern turkey right on the border with syria a correspondent there is stephanie decker and as i say a million miles away from from the discourse is going on in the u.s. i'm wondering what the situation is on the ground because we were expecting a rapid engagement on the part of the russians and the syrians to retake italy but they seem to slow down somewhat. yes in the last few days they've been no reports of airstrikes or barrel bombs yes there's been sporadic artillery fire across those front lines but that's about it and the language yesterday quite interesting from russian special envoy to syria and when he was asked whether this offensive was put on hold he said that that was entirely dependent on the international community to be able to separate moderate rebels from terrorists now reading between the lines that's basically the job of turkey these days it is incredibly challenging we've been speaking to people inside that are affi

special envoy for so much energy in trying to get sides together in geneva has not yet responded to this suggestion that they were laid to palm some sort of agreement to actually take injured with the many delegation of gucci's to mom so it is pretty unclear at this point as to whether or not it is more than a hiccup as as you describe it certainly doesn't buy it well for what is going to be a genuine effort to try to get some confidence building to the process now where have we heard this before syria of course the long long attempt to get agreement between the warring sides in the same location geneva it is unclear on the streets in yemen particularly southern yemen there is anger anger not just directed at the politicians but also at the u.n. and the international community for the desperate situation the people in the economy is in in a dire state and so really the position of all concerned in yemen right now is that really a mix of really quite some of the acceptance that there's very little hope these talks will actually deliver anything mixed with some level of optimism the has to
