A mountain which is fortified region so also be started again in the afternoon of today and the afternoon of thursday to continue until now the situation there for the civilians is scary especially that the confrontation is expanding where the president ial units which are backing and supporting the internationally recognized governments of president had the. Taking control of crater and serve while the. Security forces are taking control of her why where the biggest population are positioned so many rights activists are more concerned about the lives of civilians as they have been inside their homes for now for the day all the shops are closed all the situation a life in aden has been brought to a stand still William Lawrence is a professor at school of International Affairs at George Washington university he joins us now live from washington fire scott good to have you with us professor so you have these this fighting going on between Government Forces and separatists backed by the u. A. E. Its escalating on earth is going on. Were bordering on chaos you know i run war simulations here at University Im running one tonight and when i run the yemen or simulation we often run into this problem of spoilers because in the south youve got the Southern Separatist forces linked to the heavy forces but now fighting and then youve got terrorists and jihadists forces who want to spoil just by going bombs and everything happens that happens in our simulations in the last week and then the who is attacked as well who are also tracking to the north and so all the different factions who are either loosely alloyed or or depending on the enemy of their any need to help are all coming to the foreground in the yemen conflict which makes the u. N. Process much more difficult and the prospects for peace much more difficult whats the u. A. E. Up to here is it with drawing from this conflict. Yes they announced that they would draw in about half their forces there definitely scaling back they always had quite a different agenda in yemen then the saudi. Then saudi arabia even though they were part of the Saudi Coalition and bay but they do want to protect their own interests which are more mercantile more commercial them a saudi interests and more focused on the south than on the north and of course this group is u. A. E. Backed but i seriously seriously doubt the southern. Separatist forces are taking cues from the u. A. E. Too. To do what theyre doing its a little bit like the who is not taking hughes from the iranians all the time these local belligerence do things for their own reasons even if their International Backers may not benefit from those actions this conflict is into its 5th year now as anyone achieved anything it. Yes weve had temporary cease fires we had a deployment back today to where most of the humanitarian aid comes in weve had what amounts to the worlds worst humanitarian catastrophe suppressing even syria which was already on the scale of our ally and its a crisis and things are horrible in yemen coming humanitarian perspective but the humanitarian aid does flow to some degree we hardly have over a 1000000 cases of cholera but there are some advances there and as long as we dont have you know major movements of military we have about 150000 troops in each side in the clashes could be much worse you know then then we can control the situation enough to get the u. N. Led process back on track but right now none of this helps because all the spoilers are spoiling more than usual and that makes everything more difficult the u. A. E. Said last month theres no easy victory and there be no easy peace. How does it end. Well like similar conflicts like syria like here via libya when you dont only have 2 sides but you have a bunch of other militias and jihadist groups with their own agendas the main game is to have a big deal between the 2 sides like we had in sudan in very different circumstances in july where the 2 main forces decide were going to make a deal and then were going to have side negotiations with the others to try to stem what they can do and then if you have a big deal and most of the others join on then it becomes easier for countries like United States and others who are primarily concerned with kara terrorism against the hardest to focus on the jihadist groups who then become much more vulnerable because they can take advantage of the chaos that the other types of fighting creates are right now what the problem is that was jewish in is that its its the opposite of trust Building Trust thats hard to do in these circumstances when allied troops cant really rely or even trust each other anymore so its going to take some months to rebuild these coalitions back so that we can get the eventual. Professor its really good to talk to you many thanks indeed for being with us William Lawrence that.

Immigration agents in the u. S. State of mississippi have been carrying out what theyre calling the largest raids in a decade nearly 700 suspected undocumented workers were arrested in an operation targeting Agricultural Processing plants several 100 of them have since been released u. S. President donald trump announced an immigration crackdown in june lets go live now to washington to get more from out zeros kristen salumi why were so many of those arrested kristen released what happens next. Well federal officials said that they released immigrants with minor children to be able to care for those children they released them on humanitarian grounds 70 of them on wednesday 30 of them rather on wednesday 270 of them today this happened after footage of sobbing crying children started making the rounds in the news showing kids just really upset that their parents had been arrested many of them were at school when it happened and came home to find their parents missing or learned that their parents were being detained so theres really heart wrenching footage of these kids that was circulating and federal officials have gone through great pains to discuss the steps that they went through to make sure that all of those children were cared for from allowing the detained immigrants to call and make arrangements for the children to working with School Districts and so on now the fact that these 300 immigrants have been released doesnt mean that they wont still face deportation only that theyll theyve been released pending those charges critics say that while this may have been a legal move on the part of the administration that it was not a humanitarian movement in fact it may be counterproductive to efforts to keep the Community Safe people like the mayor of jackson mississippi simply because the law does not speak to the fact that it is still a violation of human rights this isnt a partisan issue its not about. You know about whether we have a soul of a nation any time displays children from their parents without process without any clue into you know as to whether somebody will actually be at have done they are released today they were simply arrested. How unusual a raids like this christiane is anyone coming to the governments defense. Well you know its not unusual for immigration agents to investigate employers who may be hiring people illegally and to make raids even but the scale of this is a bit unusual its been a decade 2006 the last time that weve seen one of this cael where hundreds of people over 1000 in that case but that was spread over several states so its unusual in the scope of the arrests and its happening at a time when President Trump is increasingly under fire for his get tough on immigration policies yes they are popular with his supporters but those on the other side have been increasingly crying foul over policies from separating children from their parents at the border to you know comments from the president that they say promote racism and White Supremacy he has been constantly under attack in this latest raid happened just as the president was going to El Paso Texas where there had been a mass shooting that many believe actually targeted immigrants and while he was there to show sympathy the fact that these raids were happening at the same time just outraged supporters of immigrants and Immigration Reform all the more making this a very very controversial move i was there as kristen salumi reporting live from washington kristen many things the number of migrants waiting for asylum at the Us Mexico Border to at least 40000 john holdren reports from mexico city. Theres been a dramatic increase in the number of migrants on the mexican side of the Us Mexico Border these most of them on actually mexicans theyre people from Central America honduras guatemala el salvador and people from even further away african countries particularly cameroon that have gone up this route trying to get to the United States now one reason for that dramatic increase is a deal between mexico and the United States that really came into force at the start of this year and under that deal people the past into the United States on documented and asked for asylum in that country would put back into mexico while they waited for that process to play out and while they waited for their appointments and their hearings for that assignment process now those appointments can be months apart so meanwhile those people are stuck in limbo and really there isnt a lot for them to do here on the mexican side of the border the mets can government did say that it was going to provide tens of thousands of jobs health care schooling for the children but that just hasnt materialized and were now 8 months into that process and into that deal so those people many of them were hearing deciding simply to go back to their home loans if those home loans are in Central America the problem is that their they face of course the poverty that they fled from or even worse for many of the threats from organized crime and the cartels the gangs really is especially in places like honduras and el salvador make many peoples life a misery.
