This mobile phone footage appears to show people arriving in the city thousands of protesters have been gathering against the internationally recognized and saudi backed government the demonstrators are backed by the United Arab Emirates which is supposed to be saudi arabias ally in yemen. Not necessarily in that situation. Very important. But you know youre. In the region. And you really. Know that you are its own you have your own. And more of. Your country i think. The conflict in todays yemen is complicated the country used to be divided would be north and south yemen until unification in one nine hundred ninety but the difference is never really went away since the fight with the hoodies began in two thousand and fifteen the secessionists have fought for control over here in seaports of aden last week seven forces led by the man appointed by president of the rebel months who are highly as the governor of aden announced to overthrow hardys government and that Major General rule is to be rejected the deployment of northern forces to the south there have been calls since last sunday so its been about a week for people to go down to the streets to protest and. Transitional council has been calling on had the head of government to dissolve and for a new government to be appointed and they are calling for independence as well as weve seen on the ground the clashes are continuing and the situation is. Very quickly now the future of president hadi is in question he has been based in saudi arabia along with this Prime Minister had been that other who struggled to control southern yemen despite support from saudi arabia. Womens elected government was pushed out of the capital sanaa in the north and now it doesnt seem to have a place in the south as well as some of the jarvey the others there. Ok to get a better understanding of the recent done us lets take a look at yemens past for much of the latter part of the Twentieth Century the country was divided into north and south the north enjoyed support from saudi arabia while the south went from being a british colony to a marxist state backed by the former soviet union but in one thousand nine hundred ninety the two sides united with the president of the north. Becoming the leader but after just four years the Fragile Union was torn apart by civil war sellers forces captured eight in defeating the south and forcing yemen back into a unified state friction has continued between the two sides with the south often complaining about what it sees as unfair treatment by the north well the south is rich in resources it says the north gets more investment and attention thats led to the birth of a Popular Movement which wants independence for southern yemen al jazeera senior political analyst Marwan Bashara says the conflict in yemen is playing into the hands of the who the rebels. The southern part of yemen cannot get back together and clearly the saudis and the iraqis that are sponsoring the war in yemen in some sort some form or out of coalition have outsourced much of the fighting within the country and thats leading to some major friction among the southerners as weve seen whether it is the president and his Prime Minister on the one hand of the whole country that is a bit had the most so had the and and his Prime Minister and the separatists if you will so all in all you know what the Arab Coalition is calling for what so many people who care for yemen are calling for you know basically lets wait until this whole thing settled the conflict with the whole seas and then well figure out what is it to be done in the south and yet the separatists are taking advantage of the fact that there is a war going on with the houses with the weak link being in the southern part of yemen taking some sort of a sponsorship from abu dhabi in the United Arab Emirates in order to separate so its really quite sad you know for yemen as it were syrias observatory for human rights says turkish air strikes near a fiend have killed eight members of one family most of them children meanwhile turkey says its taking control of a key mountain in Northern Syria as it steps up its offensive against kurdish fighters in the region its accuse the Kurdish Group the y.

The constant roar of jets and artillery targeting this important high point along the turkish border. Explosions echoed over the border town of killis drawing a crowd. A strange fascination watching the war unfold but for some its a little too close to home. Even though we are hearing killis weve become used to this war has happened before when i was on the other side of the border still moved to another area for safety. Turkeys offensive against the y. P. The Kurdish Group it considers a terrorist organization is very visible here. Is also stirred nationalist fervor. If she. Was. Lowered. And this is what that operation looks like inside syria turkey is backing Free Syrian Army fighters and at the moment the main focus is pushing back from the border was the kurdish fighters say turkeys offensive has caused a billion casualties turkey says it only targets y p g positions. But as is often the case in war facts can be hard to come to a turkeys leaders stress that this is only the beginning and they intend to clear the y. P. G. From its entire border area all the way to iraq but the y p g in that area further east is supported by the United States and there are american bases and military personnel on the ground their relations between ankara and washington are already tense and just another example of how complicated syrias war has become.

Russian Opposition Leader of on the has been released from custody without charge after he was arrested during an antigovernment rally in moscow more than two hundred fifty others were also detained for taking part in protests across the country calling for a boycott of the president ial election in march only challenge reports. Its become a familiar routine for novelli demonstration days while supporters in moscow and St Petersburg slept in russias eastern time zones they were already protesting and being arrested this footage is from the siberian city of camera. And in the Capitol Police moved against the Opposition Leaders offices this time temporarily shutting down his internet t. V.

Lexan of ali says that his arrest doesnt matter its old but the people who turn out here in moscow and all around the country are protesting for their own futures i was many of the young crowds you find in a valley rallies have been born and grown up in putins russia and theyre planning to boycott what they see as rigged elections in my. Elections isnt fair only prudent and other candidates are bipeds off with them in my opinion i havent got my candle and because im not one they was sure cancelled from the election so if you have only been allowed to run in the elections you would a function of yours which it was a.
