Israel has revealed what it says is de classified intelligence laning an Iranian Program to assemble precision guided missiles inside lebanon israeli troops remain on high alert near the lebanese border after hezbollah warned of an imminent strike Harry Fawcett reports now from west to receive them. Its on high alert but in protective posture Israeli Forces near lebanon have been pulled back from the border positions in recent days as they wait for a promised strike by hezbollah in response to recent israeli attacks and now israel is upping the pressure on both lebanon and hezbollah its released what it says the details of an iranian led program to convert hezbollah missiles into precision guided weapons using components brought in by land sea and air its warning lebanons government to take action will be held responsible for the suffering we are determined to toward this dangerous program the aim of the publication today is to clarify that we will not stand aside and allow our enemies to arm themselves with fatal weaponry i told them this week be careful and i repeated a narrow pick. Hezbollahs leader Hassan Nasrallah has denied precision missiles are being manufactured inside lebanon he says israel has in recent days breached the rules of engagement in place since the last war between israel and lebanon in 2006 and.

Military confrontation i think the call to calm down was reflected that on the other hand i think the feeling and its beyond that and you know i think the feeling in israel is that you cannot have iran which is declare it really interested in the demise of israel to deepen its military capabilities just across israels northern border. For now on that border the wait continues for hezbollah to make its next move perry force it out west jerusalem.

Forced smile and his family every phone call from an unfamiliar number brings a bit of hope before he dies again. Theyre hoping to hear from their brother adam is my whos been missing since the deadly attack on the city outside Army Headquarters in her tomb in early june his sister says theyve done all they can to find him. We filed a report at the Police Station then we went to the hospitals and they referred us to the morgues we didnt find him so we went to other morgues but so far we didnt find a trace of him or where he could be. The sit in came after months of antigovernment protests demanding the countrys long time president obama and bashir step down he was ousted by the military in april but the sit in continued as protest leaders and the military negotiated a transitional government. At least 100. 00 protesters were killed and more than 400. 00 injured in the attack in june according to the Central Committee for sudans doctors which supports the protest movement the military puts the figure at 87. 00 killed. Families reported relatives had gone missing on the day of the attack and also after like almost made his uncle says went missing 2 weeks later. This is neglect from the authorities this is the truth has disappeared since june 20th and up to now there is no trace of where he could be where is he and where are those who went missing with him but 2 weeks on there are few answers if any to those questions the number of people taking part in the city who went missing is not here with more people being reported almost every week activists say thats because many came from outside and with the confusion and fear during the attack and in the days after it took some time for fam. They realize that their loved ones werent in hiding but had disappeared also put down the phone number of the family so activist groups have launched campaigns on social media to try to get people to search for those who are missing and connect them with their families if they find them but that method has its challenges to reseal a trip force because some of these families dont really have them and the access to the social media and social media was working on this and. Presenting their evolution in the most more than any of the same and they are living in different states in a context that i wrote and maybe some families they dont know about facebook and they dont know that reporting about the missing people im for the family to come over and report has been ian says despite hearing nothing from her brother she believes hes still alive and one day him find his way back home he before going to her.

Despite having a permit to use the land for religious and cultural purposes the tribe started receiving fines in tickets in 2016 i was surprised at the level of the animosity and the desire to remove us because if you look at the houses around here i mean theres nothing for them to fear we were asking them to move from day one it was a desire on their part to basically get rid of the tribe is officially recognized by the state of new jersey and its ties to the land which now sits in the midst of this private gated community go back generations the very name of the township comes from the line op a word for Meeting Place nevertheless their neighbors continued to complain about the gatherings and the fines began to add up after a few years totaling more than 4000000. 00 the Neighborhood Association of the town neither of whom would speak to aljazeera sued the tribe but then a turning point for their legal team the u. S. Justice department came to their defense when you have the department of justice coming in and saying well what. We see appears to be happening here is a violation of the right to religious freedom that something a federal court judge is going to take very seriously in a settlement the township agreed to drop all fives and allow the ceremonies to continue while the Neighborhood Associations lawsuit was thrown out of court now the tribe is suing the neighbors for violating its right to gather and pray hopeful for birth morrow i dont know if its called the panda. 1 or neighbors respond as sis been ugly right up until this moment but for now it seems the tribes prayers have been answered kristen salumi aljazeera mahwah new jersey.

Is accused of attacking the government that the coalition is trying to restore yemens internationally recognized president says u. S. Warplanes bombed Government Troops around aden separatists trained by their moralities taken over the Southern City we have a new government is urging saudi arabia and the United Nations to intervene but the u. A. E. Says it only tugs it what it calls terrorists Alexei Obrien has more. On. This is said to be the aftermath of strikes in aden yemen internationally recognized government is furious the u. S. Bombed its positions. Allowing separatists to retake territory that lost to saudi backed Government Forces 24 hours a.

And we will free every inch of the southern territory the violence has exposed an apparent rift in the saudi u. A. E. Coalition each country backing opposing sides in southern yemen which was a separate country until 990. 00 the saudis and the marauders are divided on this issues because for this from a saudi perspective what they had always wanted is to ensure that they are not the threat that can operate across the border and launch attacks where its rocket attacks or or drone attacks into saudi arabia what the United Arab Emirates wants to do instead of course is to establish an independent sovereign state and these 2 objectives to do not align with the any governments asked for the United Nations to meet on the strikes 60000 people have left the city batanes of thousands remain in high. Sway as the fighting intensifies brian al jazeera. Lets bring in our panel into the show now joining us from new york city a heart of solomon director of the office of Foreign Affairs for the southern Transitional Council in new york city from our man hasnt bharati professor of International Relations at the university of jordan and from london also on skype is Elizabeth Kendal Senior Research fellow at Pembroke College at the university of oxford welcome to all of you in the show let me start with elizabeth in the u. K. Is the coalition now falling apart its difficult how it can be perceived as not falling apart at this point i think the latest airstrikes by the United Arab Emirates are stepped change in the clashes in the south it may now be time to start calling them a war because theyre only one of 3 scenarios that could have happened either the u. A. E. Did not consult saudi about these strikes and that means the coalition is falling apart or the u. A. E. Did consult saudi and saudi gave it the go ahead which means that saudi and the Yemeni Government a falling apart and assert a possibility is that the u. A. E. Consulted saudi and saudi refused in which case the coalition is falling apart so you know youre a may have acted unilaterally but even if it didnt it means the coalition is falling apart or it were lizabeth is open for us i guess 3 beautifully summed up scenarios there has to which one do you think its most is most likely were the saudis on board with this or card out of this latest action. All i think you know from the get go the saudis have a different agenda and yemen and obviously the saudis are not on board but at the same time i think is blackmailing saudi arabia because they know that riyadh needs them in their coalition for their appearance of having a coalition and i think that think United Arab Emirates works unilaterally in order to reinforce its whatever they have in southern yemen they want to affect that kind of a separation in yemen and they find in the. Transitional council as a tool to further the interest in yemen and that is obvious so im not saying that the area is an boardin it agrees on everything but probably doesnt have what it takes to say you know to the to all the right now and. Kind of International Crisis you know especially the do Strategic Development with the if thats the if thats ok let me jump in hands and i will be more that if that if thats the case what does that mean ultimately in terms of the saudi coordination will will the u. A. E. Be ejected from this coalition as the how the government one point was calling for all the saudis have to look the other way and try and keep on board. I think for the time being theres no coalition we talk about coalition but in the coalition that we knew at the very beginning there was the one that fighting the whole thing in the fighting the haughty the is fighting its own war. For the its own interests so if we talk about the coalition the one that we know the Saudi Led Coalition or the other coalition is no longer there now its only a night Arab Emirates and saudi arabia and we can see now is a kind of a clash between their own interest now when the saudi is going to. United Arab Emirates i dont know but i think its an ultimate. Scenery that we probably see playing out soon or we could bring in a huddle your from of course the southern Transitional Council whats known as the s. T. C. Its the action by Southern Forces which youre affiliated with which has brought us to this point in yemen do you agree that you are responsible now for the collapse of this coalition thats been fighting supposedly on the same side against the who thinks. No actually i completely disagree with the introduction i disagree with yes beakers regarding the fall of the call ation this is a collaborative. Coalition unit that goes through a operation or operates from an operation room. Through a rigorous process before approving any specific detailed airstrikes so the u. A. E. And the. Saudi arabia are. They are working together on every front oh but there it is with the anti who at the front or the anti extremist extremism front ok but let me just as well now that ive explained this to me according to what youre describing them the saudis would have known that the u. A. E. Is about to launch an strikes against ok what the u. S. Is calling terrorists but in fact what were hearing from the heavy government is these are strikes on the Yemeni Government. If thats the case at all saying saudi arabia has approved or is in line with an strikes on the very government is hosting in riyadh that doesnt make a lot of sense doesnt it. Well its a little more complicated than that for over the past 4 years or for 4 years plus the Saudi Led Coalition has been working. Effortless with. Working. 2 to. Fight the anti to fight the o. T. S. To fight extremism fortunately the legitimate government is actually incorporating some of these extremist factions extremists or the radicals to the a slap already into the legitimate government so the. Reactivating what would they have the any government is backpedaling by. After after raid these counterterrorism in south yemen specifically ok im actually not sorry to interrupt you again how theyre i really want to distill what youre bringing to the show this plan what it sounds like youre saying right now is the sun s. T. C. The saudis and the immoralities are lining up against the Yemeni Government is that what youre telling viewers of this show be called a mini golf that includes as you say a stream ists. That is incorrect were not against the government as well you dont just have the injected with remus from the islam so so correct it where were fighting the extremism that has been injected or whether they have hijacked the Yemeni Government unfortunately while everybody was clued in the Saudi Led Coalition the s. T. C. Saddam forces have been fighting extremism the internationally recognized government has really regrouped end corporator them into their units where that is not going to be accepted so fighting extremism whether they are part of the Yemeni Government is a Regional Security and that is let me all know how i or let me bring elizabeth back into this however you slice it and dice it listening to what and how to saying that it does sound like there is conflict as you start out by saying within the coalition at this point with everyone pointing to the other one is harvesting the extremists. Yes there clearly is conflict and i dont think it holds water to say that everyones on board with this and that simply fighting extremism these are very serious air strikes many many many people were killed and they were from the Government Forces i think this highlights a problem of the whole rhetoric on the war on terror that was coined obviously initially by the United States because it provides cover for what is ultimately a political agenda now its true that there has been an uptick in terrorist violence in yemen in august weve had for example more than double the Monthly Average of attacks by alqaeda and in fact if you look at whom theyve been targeting then the targeting has been very strongly against the Southern Forces but nonetheless i think one does need to remain skeptical for example and shabwah that the no terrorist attacks at all by either isis or outsider so far this year so to claim that once fighting terrorism and sharp war and not just political opposition i think doesnt hold water or lets bring her some into the discussion is this really about the u. A. E. Plans as the. Ledge and many others actually in yemen to separate the south and the north of yemen once again so that if they draw down those troops they still have a proxy who represent their interests in the south. I think it boils down to one thing that the United Arab Emirates one interest and its to do mean to protect and support the secessionists and to talk about extremism as a kind of pretext we know that islam part is Muslim Brotherhood and its not classified as extremist by anyone other than the United Arab Emirates and the United Arab Emirates have actually classified qatar as an extremist a so do you believe that we dont of course when the president had to comes in public and condemn the United Arab Emirates he is not part of the party he is not fond of those extremists as he said he represents the legitimacy he represents the probably the address for the money that the United Arab Emirates committed itself to bring him back to the sinai and now what happened in the past the United Arab Emirates even prevented him from visiting god and so with this is a well known story that the United Arab Emirates have its own ok were only interested in what i know is to develop the south to break away from hunters for their own economic interests yes of course i think this is the ultimate for the United Arab Emirates and why would that be doesnt care or even doesnt give attention to the how with the. Why because for economic reasons and because they want to is not then for dubai ports etc so we know this is a well known story and so by dividing yemen to yemen it would be easier for them to control it and to control this and this has been part of the all right let me let me bring on how their interests again divide the vienna yemen is ultimately where the resurgence of b. S. T. Forces s. T. C. Forces are taking the country how do you respond to that. Well 1st of all lets see how did the s. T. C. Come about where these calls have came out how long have these calls been on on the ground yes the sea we got to go back track a little after 94 this was an all out occupation 2007 came out of Southern Movement after 2 and 2015 there was a sudden resistance to Southern Resistance gave birth to the Southern Forces and so so the s. T. C. Came about these separatists calls or the secessionists calls have been for over 2 decades this is not a recent through all but what you ate my 10 u. S. Surgeon its on so the u. A. E. So thing that events id like you to address the concern that ultimately the country be divided and one in which someone forces really are a front for you even interests there is not a negation the hudson pointed out in which the u. A. E. Wants to maintain its interest in some of the ports of yemen to clean the toilets thats that is incorrect that is incorrect because the southern Transitional Council has been very efficient working directly with the Saudi Led Coalition as far as the. Anti extremism fronts and the anti or with the fronts now these are both Regional Security matters these are not for south yemen alone this is not this is also for north yemen and for the entire region theres over 25000. 00 southern troops in the northern provinces or governorates that are fighting inside areas and other governor governor its this is not just because they Saudi Led Coalition couldnt find any genuine resistance on the ground besides the southern the Southern Forces this is what activated the entire so court trying to kill our transiting in. There are forces or i can see live versus shaking head i think you want to get in on this go ahead i think theres a lot of truth to what the s. T. C. Spokesman says in terms of long term grievances that go back decades but these were reactivated by the formation of the Southern Transition council which was backed by the United Arab Emirates and we can see where this is heading its not good enough to say that the southerners support the coalition when they are calling back their troops from the very fronts that were just mentioned in the north of yemen to say come and defend us stop fighting that has these come and defend us against the northern us even yesterday there was a tweet by the deputy of the southern Transitional Council an even break where he mentioned all 7 if you include sculpture governorates of the south and said we will not give an inch now that doesnt sound Like Coalition talk that sounds like us to purchase torn lizabeth if we connect the dots a little bit we had the announce from the u. A. E. You made the announcement it was drawing down its troops kind of around the same time we had all those attacks going on u. A. E. And saudi Oil Interests in the gulf which were blamed on iran. And now we have this battle going on. In aden if you connect the dots do you read through this the u. A. E. Sending a message that he wants perhaps to be closer or not so much at least in conflict with iranian interests and just wants to carve out some interest for itself in the south of of yemen i think we should see this in the broader context which is that the United Arab Emirates has now for several years been recruiting troops across the south of yemen that were not directly answerable to the Yemeni Government of president heady so its very clear that there was some purpose to these troops that may have extended beyond fighting terrorism after all the number of terrorist attacks in chaper as i mentioned it is very few and in fact when the major Counterterrorism Operations began. That only been one that year so far so it was less than one percent but the resources of yemen and a shop were are heavily based in oil and gas and so its very difficult not to see an ultimate commercial and political agenda behind this winds to saudi arabia been relatively silent on this so far do you think. Is it just down to the fact that while they you know that they want to try and keep up with nabil on board in the coalition. What i think this is the only thing that i can think of right now because we know that handle a break be a dip. Of the c. T. C. Actually threaten saudi arabia and he reminded them that the whole of the hotels have been fighting them for 4 years and he and his forces can do the same so by claiming that. This council is working in harmony with saudi arabia i think this is not substantiated with any any hard evidence because the statements coming from the council is actually under country or a little bit about how you know if you dont really know exact any ground here and you and i mention over the events going on in aden and the apparent crumbling of this coalition. Well unfortunately the United Nations has been doing nothing other than you know expressing its concerns about what is happening but on the ground i think the United Arab Emirate is destroying the spot and its going to decide matters in probably in days to come but does it mean that america would would win the war in yemen the american would actually be defeated at the end of the day because the yemeni people would rise up against it and now we we can witness something new that for the 1st time that we see that the yemenis themselves are saying that i would not be is and you could find for so weve never hear such a thing before and i think this is a new development and the level of the conscious of the people and this could materialize to Different Things or translate into a probably a kind of action that would. United i want to take that point and that in the sounds is exactly what in the saudis actually if i may oh how the the calls from some yemenis to see the u. A. E. Is an Occupying Force whats your take on that as the s. T. C. Well thats the International Recognized government is trying to push all their blame all their faults all failures onto someone else as usual but a minute. Coalition with them didnt you and your. Interests so which is. The southern Transitional Council is definitely working with the saudi led Coalition Fighting extremism and fighting. To be supporting the had the government do you ultimately want behind the government to rule over yemen or not. They had a government is being supported by the Saudi Led Coalition but you have to understand also that they had a government is incompetent it is has failed on the economic level on the basic Services Level and the liberated areas where there is no it will not be all by any services they have not been able to they have not they have failed also militarily they have to relate it was really a 4000 troops in my favor if you let me just finish this point the 2 engine 50000 troops in matter there have not moved so. Less than an hour drive away or 50 kilometers but have been very more when it came to the southern so ok i understand your concerns my place liberated very briefly you want to see are those the s. T. C. Want to see the how to government rule over yemen or not well the s. T. C. And the southern people actually stands by the popular will thats where it gains its strength to southern people have rights this is not were not subhuman arent Southern Arizona parents we went 60 faces and this is a human right for us if we dont have a ready answer im going to leave it to the views to draw whatever conclusion from them if i can give the last 6 seconds to elizabeth are we seeing a situation emerge elizabeth where perhaps the who these and how these have increasingly something in common i think its very difficult for us to see anyone as having anything in common in yemen because the loyalties are safe lou it what is true there is i think the soften secessionist course has altered it and its not going to be feasible to have their entire withdrawal before peace talks can take place and jetta so something needs to change in the head a government or im afraid we are out of time so lets thank our guests its been a really good discussion.

Very warm welcome to the program good to have your company the russians and i is to get a lateral ceasefire in syrias it led province starting on saturday morning Government Forces backed by russian airpower have been waging an offensive on the last rebel held territory for weeks civilians wanting to see a stop to the fighting have been demonstrating in the northwestern countryside the border poured into turkey some open trying to approach through Border Crossings into the country have been calling on russia and turkey to end the violence thats killed more than 550 civilians since april hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced participants has released a sniper book or less on the turkey syria border. Over there in the syria is adamant refugee camp home to some 600000 internally displaced syrians and it was there and at other points along the turkey syria border early on friday that a few 1000 syrians tried to rush the border and here they managed to get through one of the gates before they were pushed back by the turkish Security Forces but an indication really of the desperate circumstances the syrians fleeing the fighting and find themselves in forced to pay rent to sleep under trees to sleep in the open with no access to sanitation or food they really desperately want to escape the fighting and that is why the turkish authorities especially will hope that this unilateral ceasefire announced by the russians that begins on saturday morning will for the time being put a stop to that flow of refugees turkey sees it as a National Security crisis and a humanitarian emergency a National Security crisis and threat because amongst those fighters those people coming from are suspected hardened fighters and that is why turkey doesnt want them coming this close to the border. Well maher one director of policy analysis at the Doha Institute and he joins me on set marwan a very warm welcome to the program what does this that were seeing what does that mean well actually. I was surprised actually that the russians have announced a unilateral cease fire especially after the successful meeting between president and president putin. Last week but there are 2 developments like now that may have actually pushed the russians to announce unilateral cease fire the 1st one is that there is a draft resolution presented by germany and belgium to the United Nations Security Council these 3 countries are now members of the Security Council and they have visited the last position calling for urgency as far for the fighting in it because right now we have like 500000 syrians have been actually uprooted displaced because of the ongoing fighting in the Syrian Government it and the 2nd reason in my opinion is that the russians the have already put a huge pressure on turkey because most of those people who are leaving their homes are actually moving towards the sea that the turkish borders and the turks are very concerned about that because the turks are already concerned about the 3500000. 00 Syrian Refugees that are the are living inside turkey and now actually more people are pushing towards actually entering turkey so i think these 2 issues the concern about the draft resolution of the Security Council and the concern about turkey taking. Position and so from russia because russians they dont want really a crisis between them and they are still actually seeking to disturb us to get from me to from the United States and over the past actually a few months they have put huge pressure on the turks dont forget that the russians they have been supporting this offensive by the Syrian Regime which have taken. By. Of the past over the past few weeks and that and the also. Observation point and more of that is that is actually talks a lot right now in terms of the russians you mentioned that the un this draft resolution may be something that at least in the back in this making them think twice but why now when there have been so many in the past is it the russia to some degree is reaching its own kind of tipping i think i think if you look at the after solution you see that 3 countries are actually supporting that one of them is germany and the other one is belgium dont forget that germany has taken most of the seat if you jews in europe and the germans are concerned actually that there are going to be even more if that of the if russia actually continues with this often said in an ad lib dont forget that there are 3000000. 00 the future is in italy and if there is an all out offensive. Which is these solutions are going to go across to turkey and then from turkey to europe idea and that is going to cause a new flux of refugees towards europe this is something that the germans the europeans generally are very concerned about this is i believe they put some pressure on the on the russians russian they dont want to they dont want to use veto on the United Nations Security Council resolution so i think they decided to announce this illiteracy is far from their own party before that was it is actually a drafted into the picture from assads point of view right now what does that vista look like and i think that the assad forces have already made some important advances over the past couple of weeks but theyre still actually looking to control 2 important towns on the m 5 and them for between damascus hama. And i think the whole fighting right now in idlib is going around controlling these major roads between hamas and the ball and i think even this cease fire will not hold for long there will be a contin. Or the fighting in the in the near future until the regime realizes its object of scorn trolling the main road between hama. And.
