a coalition government between between all parties in yemen and what the saudi actually need in yemen they want i think three they want agreement. and we have seen what the saudis have done we would have said i guess that you an. expert report they refuse this report and they even say that we are not going to deal with the with with the with the u n x better to anymore so they just want a port or of peace. all called anything that is in favor of this over the lead led coalition war in yemen if the united states and the united kingdom actually has not supported this already i don't think they could have even started the war in yemen on is it really silly for someone to ask these which is yemeni to withdraw from cities why we have a for a kind of foreign invasion the that's why they call it so do you that coalition is not a civil war is a coalition made from one of the most dictatorship country and the region who want to be in a state democracy in yemen who can believe that address i know you want to come back on that we're rapidly running out of time here. i want to ask you would a pea

to rule yemen. inside the city been better sent provin says that is liberated that is very important so president had to do with the army can make you know this is the solution all on controlling you know i would visit that you know that is that is that how you. sent received phone. we did flow with the hoses and with all you know grooves it's very important the most important thing now is to hand to do with drove the weavers from militia so we should as him and these help others were selves we should solve our problems and we can do let me i mean how can you solve your own problems how can you solve you your own problems as you have a nice if you're under a bloke eight and you're always three can't solve problems fully by yourself because a lot of pen's of saudi arabia right now and i know you're calling for this look a to do list it missed me this did it must be lifted but my question is and my question is lifted oh do you think saudis will listen to your calling for the leave to other. you know p

special envoy to yemen telling us what went wrong. of course there in geneva the government delegation will leave that swiss city after rebel who see representatives didn't fly into the talks because of safety concerns who say they didn't have an aircraft or permission from the u.s. and saudi governments to leave the country the turkish president. says he may intervene of the expected syrian government offensive in italy it causes major bloodshed mr tweeted saying he would courts need to watch from the sidelines more participate in. such a game if the world turned a blind eye to killing trilateral talks in tehran with iran and russia on friday but the other one said any military offensive to retake the last remaining rebel held province could result in a humanitarian disaster iran's minister for foreign affairs has some of the iraqi ambassador to protestors in the southern iraqi city of basra attacked the iranian consulate there a week of violent demonstrations are seen several big buildings being set on fire at least twelve people ha

this is the update from the office of the special envoy for yemen the special envoy for yemen continued his consultations with the delegation of the government of yemen headed by foreign minister khaled your money since yesterday he has been discussing with than confidence building measures including the issue of prisoners humanitarian access the real opening of sinai airport in addition to economic issues. the special envoy for yemen on some met with diplomats and he's still working on getting the un side of the legation to geneva and of the update. and this is what i have for you on yemen. yes yes go ahead. morning actually i'm just wondering if duty simpler today here or not because of the perspective or is it ok specially were said yes there will be meetings here in poland but received here it was just a little small enough to reduce as not fortunately this i can tell you is that for the moment there will be no out media activity said the pollen or activity said the pilot but you would be kept informed in course is as soon as we can tell you something with some doubt as usual and no

to support the peace over yemen not only just selling arms and then giving us aid in yemen well apart from the saudis do you believe the directors of may and donald trump are committing war crimes they are committing war crimes but you know our the war in yemen is for growth and. you know or the situation here is like there are no salaries no access to clean or no access to health care. no salaries the prices of food and fuel are soaring. also you know if you are the hospitals. they cannot operate their hospitals for a long time they might close their doors because the prices of fuel are soaring you know so the problem here is very pick and the humanitarian crisis is can see there the worst in the world. so there are plenty of things that have been ing in yemen and they should stop killing and targeting civilians if they want like they said to target who sees and to end the gym here they should do it in front lines not in cities and not killing civilians also not making up located on land sea and ports in yemen and just finally the yemeni capital is behind us and of course the british

to portray this entire conflict as this is a saudi war led on them or in on on yemen but this regard that the civil war that was happening even before as a result of the coup that they staged along with the help of the former with the former president but between all of those for example the whose leaders have been sanctioned yet it has. been sanctioned even by the security council but actually had little effect on their ability to move and their ability actually to bring in more weapons into the country the u.s. also considered this as this is part of a big picture because the if these do. help iran in increasing its influence in the region and at the same time you have you have the saudis trying to push back the push back to seize so the discussion really about what's happening in yemen the civil war that's happening in yemen and the transitional period that followed the arab spring that. becomes just a side talk to everything that's going on the bigger picture if you'd like to if you'd like to say well are afraid just want to touch on what you said earlier because i mean there's b

the civil war that's happening in yemen and the transitional period that followed the arab spring that. becomes just a side talk to everything that's going on the bigger picture if you'd like to if you'd like to say there are a frog just want to touch on what you said earlier because i mean there's been. disallowed acknowledgement earlier there was a un report. stating that war crimes have been perpetrated in yemen by all sides now human rights watch has a report and it has been going on for a few years so the intention of underlining the horrors of what's happening in yemen is there but what is lacking is there a mechanism that doesn't exist or is it difficult to actually implement that mechanism. so if you talk to an ordinary yemeni who is facing you know the speakable human suffering and yemen they literally lost any hope or faith in the international community or international humanitarian law was because none of that has ever been you know of the interest of yemenis the when the war started the so delayed question mobilised states at the u.n. security council and came into giving

about iran and carries out blatant interventions in yemen finances the who similar. and provides it with weapons and missiles equipment and expertise and. i would like behalf of my people to thank you madam of saudi arabia with its killing its government and people played a leading role to getting our humanitarian suffering. so tell me what what evidence is there that's a pretty bold statement from the president and say thank you considering all this destruction but what evidence is there that confirms that the iranian government is absolutely providing weapons to the rebels and well there's never been any provide any evidence provided whatsoever the as you can see there the yemeni president didn't provide any evidence it's something we hear from u.s. ambassador to united nations nikki haley all the time we hear it from the trump administration we hear it from the saudi arabian monarchy that iran is providing arms and money to the rebels but there's no evidence of it and the reality is that actually yemen has the most prior to the start of this war had the most weapo

on syria she also talked about yemen but not about the talks that are supposed to be taking place in geneva on thursday she was referring to the saudi a bombing of a school bus last month and said that she can't ever see innocent people killed under the auspices of trying to settle a dispute this three year conflict and she went on to say that they were concerned about saudis reaction to it all but then said that they were surprised that they had admitted folds and went on to say that. you can't really put right what the spammers are suffering those bereaved but the saudis may well try words to that effect now how that will play out amongst the people of yemen remains to be seen there is a mood of gloom there is some hope about these talks but it's on a limited scale the general view is that it will take a major major move on the part of one side or the other to actually get some sort of settlement together but hope hasn't gone completely in this desperate situation in yemen andrew symonds live in tbilisi thank you at least ten people have been killed hundreds more have been injured

the civil war that's happening in yemen and the transitional period that followed the arab spring that becomes just a side talk to everything that's going on the bigger picture if you'd like to if you'd like to say well our friend i just want to touch on what you said earlier because i mean there's been. disallowed acknowledgement earlier there was a u.n. report stating that war crimes have been perpetrated in yemen by all sides now human rights watch has a report and is has been going on for a few years so the intention of underlining the horrors of what's happening in yemen is there but what is lacking is there a mechanism that doesn't exist or is it difficult to actually implement that mechanism. so if you talk to an ordinary yemeni who is facing you know the speakable human suffering and yemen they literally lost any hope or faith in the international community or international humanitarian law was because none of that has ever been you know of the interest of yemenis the when the war started the saudi led question mobilized states at the u.n. security council and came into giving

nations to at least get a process underway that could lead to something that will deliver a peace in yemen and bring an end to what is an almost four year war and there have been protests over the worsening economic situation in yemen shops and government offices were forced to close after protesters burned tires and blocked major roads in the southern city of aden many yemenis are unable to get basic supplies as prices keep going up the yemeni realize lost more than half its value since the start of the war in twenty fifteen in the news ahead once everywhere then nowhere and now bringing a delicacy back into the waters off new york city bus. and i'm very fortunate in one of the last places you might expect to find high level showjumping right here in the gaza strip. hello again well i do want to take you across the levant right now because temperatures in kuwait city are coming down but that's not necessarily good news because when the temperatures come down like that this time of year that also means that the committee is probably rising early we had temperatures in the last few days may

by killing us by killing children in yemen by starving millions by disbelief sink three million in yemen it is a big tragedy. that we are under attack by saudi and u.k. is involved in this i know you give but britain gives aid money as well as the bombs you must see the british aid going to people in need in yemen ok actually yemeni people they don't want. it from me ok they want peace they don't want to be killed by a u.s. u.k. bomb and then they give us aid no we don't want that in one hand you ok is like selling arms to saudi to kill us and in the other hand they are giving us aid they are helping us this is not good we don't want this we only want them to stop selling arms to saudi and to. to like. to support the peace over am and not only just selling arms and then giving us aid in yemen well apart from the saudis do you believe the directors of may and donald trump are committing war crimes they are committing war crimes but you know our the war in yemen is for growth and. you know or the situation here is like there are no salaries no access to clean or no access to health care. n

tripoli yemen's government has ordered a temporary halt to the import of luxury goods in an effort to prop up the struggling economy people in the southern city of aden have been burning tires and blocking roads in protest at the deteriorating economic situation the yemeni reale has lost more than half its value since the saudi u.a.e. coalition began its offensive in twenty fifteen meanwhile exiled yemeni president average rebel mentor hardy is preparing to go to the u.s. for treatment for a heart condition he's been living in saudi arabia since the war began he will reportedly stay in the u.s. until the u.n. general assembly towards the end of the month now a top level donor conference is underway in germany to highlight the needs of millions of people who live around the lake chad basin germany's foreign minister told local media that the region is facing one of the biggest humanitarian dramas of our time now it includes the four countries altering the lake that's cameroon chad lesia air that nigeria internal and cross border conflicts have led to the displacement of more than two p

worsen the situation in yemen and pave the way for the saudi. alliance to continue its military bush now the problem is that when you look at the situation on the ground even the force. affiliated with the saudis and the emirates he's backed by saudi arabia and the matter of enormous remain numbered guns completely weakened absolutely don't seem to be in any situation to deal with the ground in their own favor they've been saying over the last twenty four months that the it's just about it's a matter of time before they take over. much of time before they take over as a matter of time before the the whole thing is formed from the from the capital sama when you look at the situation on the ground the hurt the still controlled those so now it could be just one in further indications that. chances for a political settlement in yemen don't exist for the time being ok has some had about our reporting from the united nations thank you from the u.n. let's cross over to london and bring in bashar he's an al-jazeera senior political analyst so when you w

special envoy for yemen the day before talks are supposed to begin in geneva involving yemen's warring sides things hang in the balance to who the rebels delegation is late in leaving sanaa they say they're being prevented from leaving the rebels and yemen's internationally recognized government haven't met since twenty sixteen since then the humanitarian crisis as you know has only deepened as fighting rages on the un special envoy for yemen martin griffith has been speaking there in geneva and he thinks he will see both parties in the same room for talks those talks again due to begin tomorrow let's speak to ana's there is data change the engine even david martin griffith seems a confident that the talks will go ahead tomorrow despite the hoofy delegation being delayed. yes folley he was he was very relaxed in this performance he's shown his real skills as a diplomat in the way he described matters he said that the delay of the rebel delegation would be solved there in consultations now it was said that the saudi coalition refused to give permission for the delegation to leave but th

in yemen. the problem is now the saudi campaign backed by the united states is coming under quite a lot of pressure from congress, from even the president today talked about it in a round about way but there is a backlash against your campaign because cnn and many other journalists can see what a terrible civilian catastrophe there is now. you can't work your way out of how to stop this. is there a plan to figure out some kind of diplomatic end to this humanitarian catastrophe? >> this is a war we didn't want. it was a war we didn't seek. it was imposed on us. we worked on a transition to temporary government. we worked with establishing a national dialogue where they came up with a vision for their future. they appointed a group to right a constitution and then the houthis struck and took over the country and now we have a situation where a radical militia has taken charge of a critically important country. >> is this just a military solution to the end? >> we have said from the beginning this

into intersections rather than a federally united yemen. well i think they would have to be a total fool not to accept sharing power because in the end of the day they surely realize by now that they cannot control all of yemen and in the area that they do control except for hard data for you know which there's been a storm brewing for some time now they would have no access to the sea and so it would be in their interest to accept a long term going back to some kind of a government that represents all the different sides in yemen. i do believe that the yemenis are able to compromise with one another and reach such an agreement once the war stops once the regional powers act diplomatically instead of acting militarily and once the great powers the u.s. specifically and the u.k. put a diplomatic push in other words really support what the u.n. envoy is trying to do and be a hurry thank you very much indeed for your thoughts on the subject. only seventeen civilians including five children have been killed in air raids in italy and this comes

coup so either way your between a rock and a hard place in yemen and largely in yemen will not be able to find a breakthrough unless there's a change in the military dynamic incredibly complex and i'm glad you could explain some of it to us joining us from london and while we're talking yemen al jazeera is contrast via the one behind a live virtual in or granted reality content is actually just won an award for their three sixty degree glimpse at life in yemen are they one the online news association award for excellence in most of storytelling for this let me see if i can bring it up he had the video which is called yemen's skies of terror it's told from the perspective of a child and two teenagers taking you through three different years of airstrikes and it's all filmed by journalists with three hundred sixty two cameras in fact if you look at me just now you'll see i'm holding up my i pad and actually i can watch it in sort of three sixty light that i think it's probably better with the mosque but you don't have to you can use your i pad or you computer that's a video link and it w

it was a deal of the two struck with the united nations envoy to yemen when he was the intern are fine. the deal was a plane that will take many delegates first and foremost it will take as will some of the critically injured civilians the coalition there are thousands of people a few million will need medical help outside yemen and oman has offered to treat these people in muster but yesterday they might nation actually did not keep its agreement with yemeni religion from sanaa and they say they will still only a small you in flight to take only a mini till it gets cheaper that's why the delegates and some are has refused. because what they say that this was not what we have agreed before. well meanwhile protesters have been out on the streets in southern yemen for a third consecutive day there demonstrating against the worsening economic situation including rising prices in the collapse of the currency andrew symonds reports from neighboring djibouti. three days of demonstrations in yemen came as a forerunner to the latest developments on geneva peace talks the people here are callin

and partly to send a signal to the international community and the people of yemen that something is happening people of yemen like many of the conflicts are desperately in need of a signal of david chaytor has more from geneva the venue for the planned talks. 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 sa

break could toss between the warring parties of yemen have apparently stalled out jazeera has learned that a delegation has refused to leave 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. months or hardy and the who says were to be the first public meeting between the parties since twenty sixteen but i've been speaking to hussein who's a pretty journalist he says the u.n. has backtracked on a key condition that was agreed ahead of the talks. that was the deal of the truck with the united nations envoy to yemen when he was in somalia signed. the deal with the plane that will take many delegates from us cuz it will take as will some of critically injured civilians schoolish and out of thousands of people a few million who need medical help outside yemen and oman has to treat people in must cut but yesterday they might nation actually did not keep it second even with yemeni delegation from sanaa and they say they will send only a small you in flight to take only then you need to get c

try says and yemen and other crises in the region. should also be investigated assessed in the same prayer way. we. cannot fight. terrorism by law and that we can ensure stability in that country alone. and other countries that are facing crises but dialogue. why their people would accept stuff national process of patient and recognition of diversity. diversity the social diversity. the reliable point for the future because. we have come a long way difficult long way. today we're taking into account the experience of the past and also. to in order to finalize this crisis we should take the steps. constitutional committee. return of refugees. coming up with a framework. through for the engine results of these dark years. finally reconstruction of syria and should be part of measures. in front of us our coordination our cooperation. and the syrian crisis can be a model for cooperation. to resolve other crises in the region our region. can be free of threat occupation militarism discrimination and religious on it than just their mission

and partly to send a signal to the international community in yemen that something is happening. like in any other conflict not desperately in need of a signal of. 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 f
