Neighbors suffered south korea. So people here are angry that theyre all supporting this boycott Japan Campaign they want to boycott anything japanese dont go to japan they say dont fly on a Japanese Airline dont buy a japanese car which they see as a way of hitting back at japan pizza sounds as if the potential for rob could be pretty far reaching.

Impact board concern probably to south korea and also to japan to a lot of companies there is the economic fallout. There has been a retaliation from south korea with the South Koreans now removing japan from its list of preferred nations to trade with the south korean government also set aside money to help how police here so there is the possibility of there economic fallout but you do get a sense that people are waiting to see how this plays out politically in their home countries though you know there is this old saying you never let a good crisis go to waste and it has to be said that south korea bashing in japan plays very well to the gallery its Something Like 95 percent of people in japan are fully supportive of shinjiro our pay the japanese Prime Minister imposing these economic restrictions on south korea and for moon j.

There is a cautious calm in rebel controlled southern and northern hummer russian and syrian warplanes have been repeatedly targeting towns like moderate noman for the past 3 months a cease fire that came into effect on friday night has brought some respect for People Living in that corner of northwest syria who have lost so much. Money i mean emma 30 more lost after all that happened isnt it too late for a cease fire people have been displaced killed their homes destroyed but they are still scared to return to their homes. More than 400000 syrians have been displaced at least 800 civilians were killed their names documented by war monitors among the casualties 216 children but the Syrian Government and its allies failed to recapture ground probably opposition. Always here before with the russians with all their power were not able to make any gains along with the Syrian Regime they lost a lot of men and they were only able to take 2 or 3 villages and thats why they wanted the ceasefire early on the ground we are stronger i dont like about. It proved to be a costly battle for the Syrian Government and its allies who reportedly suffered heavy losses in their ranks. The ceasefire was brokered by the backers of the opposition and the government turkey and russia but it is a conditional truce that puts pressure on turkey to create a Demilitarized Zone around the province free of weapons and fighters in line with the socalled saatchi memorandums the mainstream rebel factions left their positions in the planned zone last year but the Strongest Group at the leadership which many in the International Community believe is still linked to al qaida refused it hasnt said if it will comply this time this issue a challenge for both sides for to get to implement the agreement. Because today administration. Cant couldnt do before so i personally think that there is. Tremendous and. That there will be a new escalation of. The Syrian Opposition believes the government will eventually violate the cease fire and the bombing will resume if not in a few hours then in a few weeks or a few months it lives fate is up to russia and turkey they still want to maintain close relations and as long as there are geopolitical interests are aligned the conditions attached to the cease fire may be overlooked.

The 8th round of u. S. Taliban peace talks are taking place and senior officials said a Peace Agreement could be expected between the warring sides and would enable Foreign Forces to be withdrawn the taliban said it will not talk to the Afghan Government about the future of the country until the u. S. Agrees to withdraw its troops Hoda Abdelhamid is at the doha talks with the latest. This latest round of talks is again behind closed doors we have very Little Information of what is happening inside the meeting room but we do know that both the americans and the taliban have indicated that they were hopeful for a breakthrough now u. S. Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad arrived friday evening in doha and he tweeted that he was hopeful for a Peace Agreement not to withdraw an agreement he said that the Peace Agreement would lead to a withdrawal a gradual withdrawal of foreign troops depending on what happens on the ground and if indeed the u. S. Gets all of these counterterrorism guarantees that it wants from the talibans namely that afghanistan will not be used as a base by armed groups to then carry out a plan planned attacks on foreign soil that al about on their side have also indicated that they were ready to reach this Peace Agreement they did say that they were waiting to hear from the americans they were hopeful to get the assurances they need on their side now we dont know how long these talks will last but certainly you do have kind of a positive message coming out from both sides of this thing if indeed a Peace Agreement is is reach then they will be talking about foreign troop withdrawal about 20000 of them her include in afghanistan 14000 being american soldiers the americans have said very clearly that that would be a gradual withdrawal but i think also more importantly if a Peace Agreement is indeed reached then it would pave the way for interim afghan talks which are crucial to bring some sort of stability to that country.

Unfortunately sounds like a real prospect right now the government is showing determination to hughes more violence harder violence saw the policy gets hard there on a daily basis.

Is the war on germany finally changing the hoodies have been ramping up attacks on the Saudi Led Coalition both in yemen and saudi arabia itself while the saudis part of the u. A. E. Is gradually pulling out of yemen and reaching out to iran so what now for the coalition and is there any room for diplomacy this is inside story. Hello everyone come on santa maria welcome to inside story it has been more than 4 years since the Coalition Led by saudi arabia and the u. A. E. Launched a ferocious air campaign to remove iranian backed rebels from yemen the effect as we know has been devastating tens of thousands of civilians killed and as many as 85000 children who may have starved to death but there are 2 things going on right now which just maybe have the potential to change the course of the war one is the increased ability of the hutus to hit back on thursday they claim 2 major attacks against saudi emirate he backed forces 1st medium range Ballistic Missiles were fired at a base used by iraqi trained forces in the port city of aden at least 36 people were killed including a senior military commander but they also fired a long range missile across the Saudi Arabian border targeting a military base in demand the capital city of the oil rich Eastern Region so thats one element but perhaps more significantly in the long term at least is the u. A. E. Drawing down its military presence in yemen that started a few weeks ago and for the 1st time in 6 years m r r t officials met an iranian delegation in tehran this time they discussed the strait of hormuz and signed an agreement to strengthen cooperation on Maritime Border Security but really the mere fact that they met in the 1st place is a significant step. Our meeting was practical with the aim of coronating between iran and the u. A. E. For Border Security one of the important points we agreed on is to hold meetings between leaders of Border Guards from iran and the u. A. E. We will also strengthen communication between our borders in emergency situations so is this a fracture in the coalition will 1st of all we should really define the coalition because remember there were actually 10 countries which joined the air campaign against the rebels back in march of 2015 they included most of the gulf countries as well as egypt sudan and malaysia but really the whole thing has been driven and executed by the saudis and the iraqis who then removed from that coalition after the blockade was imposed 2 years ago theyve also been supported by the u. S. The u. K. France turkey and belgium not official members of the alliance but theyve been selling weapons to saudi arabia despite International Condemnation and on the flip side china russia and of course iran to voice their opposition to military action in yemen beijing and moscow have vetoed un resolutions against irans military assistance to the who. So thats the situation lets bring in our guests now in lancaster in the u. K. Weve got simon move on who is a senior lecturer in International Relations at Lancaster University in hussein a pro who journalist and Yemen Affairs specialist and in beirut is rami a senior Public Policy fellow at the American University of beirut gentlemen welcome to you all i think that the bulk of our discussion is going to be about the state of the coalition the state of the war the recent moves by the u. A. E. Bartz i do want to deal with these attacks that weve seen from the who these most recently and i think hussein is a good place to start in. These are increasing and by these larger scale attacks and particularly the attacks which actually go over the border into saudi arabia how they managing to do this. Today the yemeni. Persons on our has released footage of the missile that has targeted at the moment called. 31 of the upgraded missiles from the stockpile that previous. Yemeni regime had from russia or from north korea that actually it was i think the fattest inside saudi arabia and it thought to get at the mom which is in the rich area in saudi arabia and they believe that this is a kind of a strong message to saudi arabia that that saying that your Oil Infrastructure is under our coverage on as well tonight out of the emirates which i believe is the same distant. That i thought as well on the saudi backed forces in aden i believe we all have heard the news from United Arab Emirates that they are withdraw and there was no official statement from United Arab Emirates and they believe this will be the fittest withdraw in history without releasing an overzealous statement that just some kind of leaks United Arab Emirates into some media outlet and i think they want that by that is to stop any attack on United Arab Emirate thats why this attack only then. Base does what i must tonight out of him and that is not about your existence in yemen you have for many militia recruited many yemenis in the south and those base are actually used to fight the yemeni army and people of committee who are loyal thats why all united out of iraq or other groups under them they will be and that im saying would you go as far to say that these are are turning the tables are are succeeding almost against the saudi arabia. Yes of course i mean if you see the course of war and the 1st 3 weeks the former spokesperson of the coalition. He said that they have destroyed most of. What he called other time houthi. Missiles but now we see that yemeni army actually is upgraded. They are copying some of the missile that they have they are making new drones that have reach the United Arab Emirates and many areas in saudi arabia and still saudi arabia with although a bit with all the battery of the latest but it missile they have they could not stop any most of this attack so this show you a total failure on one hand you see yemeni army. Is getting stronger and on the other hand we see that the saudi backed forces staling they fighting each other as well is failing to defend its border that they are using yemeni and some medicine that is from sudan to defend their border and they begin this war as they say to protect their country are now is exactly the opposite there was no threat against saudi arabia but now there is a huge threat against saudi arabia and of the world against the existence of the saudi royal family source simon in lancaster how is it. Important the Saudi Arabian military with its money and with its hardware is not able to repel these attacks point laymans view of the situation things that the saudis should be able to contain this sort of thing. Yeah you think but i guess the nature of the conflict in yemen means that traditional traditional military approaches to conflicts are not going to be a political theres no theres no very clear battlefield away from urban spaces and that makes it really difficult for the saudis to combat the threat posed by the who these which is one of the one of the reasons why weve seen such devastation in yemeni cities and yemeni urban areas as the saudis have tried to cattail that threat posed by the who these but its of course had a devastating impact on the people of yemen on Yemeni Society as weve seen as weve heard in all these various reports that have documented the devastation that emerge from the coalition so its really difficult i mean its nylon impossible for the saudis to stop someone hiding in in the streets of a city and then launching a missile so so its really difficult for the saudis to stop this and spite of all of that vast Technological Capabilities its incredibly difficult to know where all the individuals are who might be involved in this and then stop individual actions and now to add to that youve got the situation of saudi arabia starting to maybe lose some support from its closest ally iran a hurry let me bring you in on this one what is the u. A. E. Up to at the moment drawing down its forces and. Shock of all shocks talking to iran as well. I think the u. A. E. Is really reacting to a series of developments that are taking place simultaneously the most important one probably as they have started to realize which they did about a year ago when they started to really turn over the fighting to the troops the 90000 yemenis and others that theyve trained in in the south part the southern part of yemen mostly they realize that theyre actually quite incompetent at warfare in other arab countries the saudis on the and that are these are very daring very bold very ambitious very boastful of their capabilities and theyre willing to defend themselves but but really heroically incompetent at doing it when theyre fighting in another country and i think the ember out is have to be given credit for realizing that im saying look we better get out of here especially when the American Congress is passing you know if you know majority votes to prevent americans sales of arms to the image that these and the saudis and 2nd afford youve got the europeans now the germans the french and others who are refusing to get involved with the American Call to get an armada of International Navies to preserve Free Movement through the strait of hormuz. The siege of kut that has not worked at all so the iraqis are really getting terrible press all over the world so i think theyre starting to turn around their policy and realize that what theyve tried to do as they say to push back the iranians has totally backfired and hasnt creased iranian influence in yemen and other parts of the region so its really all of those things happening at the same time and its one of the few areas few times i think we can say the a majority leadership is acting quite sensibly and realizing that his policies are not working and trying to turn them around is that not a big risk there romney you know in and incurring the wrath of saudi arabia for going against them. Well they really dont have much choice the saudis are going to have to do something similar and the answer to all this of course is if you really are worried about the iranians most of the accusations they make about iran are exaggerated but there are some genuine concerns that people have with iran robes and foreigners and others but if you are concerned then the way to deal with them is the way that obama did which is negotiate with them and come to an agreement so i think were starting to see the emirates move to talk about fishing and maritime stuff theyre now starting to explore the waters for negotiated process rather than a military one and sanctions and all that the only answer in that region is a Regional Security framework that all of the countries and iran and maybe a few others work on together in the saudis have to be a part of that process to hussain how do you think the who will view this sort of pullback if you like from the United Arab Emirates im sure theyd be pleased with it but also maybe a bit suspicious i mean after 4 years of war and suddenly they decide oh ok maybe this isnt working were going to get out yeah i think this is they look at us as bases and they believe that the attack on us had their own base because those forces that have backed by night out have been it on is a clear message tonight not a bit of that is not about your own troops is about that proves that you have a clue to the militia that you have. Created in in aden we had it we know that united
