Were in bangladesh where the shrimp industry is booming, but comes at a high price to the environment. We begin this news hour in yemen where pro Government Forces are making major gains against Houthi Rebels. Theyve pushed them from the last town in the province thats still under houthi control. Then when you add others, that means most of the south is now held by forces loyal to the exiled president adou Rabbo Mansour hadi. Theres still heavy fighting in other central provinces and the houthis remain firmly in control of the capital, sanna, which they captured last september. We have the latest. Watching over the province, now entirely in the control of pro Government Forces. Parts of yemen are being recaptured. They fought Houthi Rebels and forces loyal to Ali Abdullah Saleh and say they are now in full control. We managed to claim the city supporting the houthiion and Ali Abdullah Saleh. We achieved a victory. We saved the country from going deep into the unknown. The fighters are looking ahead. They say theyre on their way to the capital, which the Houthi Rebels still control. Theyre fighting on behalf of the exiled president , adou Rabbo Mansour hadi. If necessary, and if the leaders think its appropriate, we need to go further and go beyond shabwa. Its a situation repeated across yemen, leading to what the president of the International Committee of the red cross says is a cots photographic humanitarian situation. The yemeni population is in dire need of food, of water, and not only we can see the direct impact of displacement, of the violence going on, taking a toll on the syrian population, but the direct impact of this violence going on, Health Systems crumbling, social and economic systems crumbling so more than 20 million yemeni today are in dire need of support, of humanitarian support. Land mines have been left behind. Some children are back playing in the street, but security has not returned. Fighting may have ended in some parts of yemen, but the suffering continues. Caroline malone, al jazeera. Parliamentians in iraq approved sweeping reforms proposed by the Prime Minister to eradicate rampant corruption and cut spending. Al badi wants a cancel special privileges enjoyed by officials and set up an Anti Corruption committee. He wants to make state institutions more accountable by assuring officials are appointed on merit. We are joined life bottom baghdad. This is a very rapid process. Its happened much quicker than anybody here had expect that it would. This session in Parliament Today was truly remarkable. Youre talking about a parliament that is notorious or long delays and bitter debates and when al abadi announced these measures, some thought it could take months. It was passed unanimously and as the t. V. Cameras were on in the chamber today, also another extraordinary move. It gets tricky. Parliament adjourned. Theyre going to take up these issues and more reforms at a later date. Whether or not the cameras will be in the chamber then we dont know. When the debate kicks off about how these reforms are implemented, thats when it could get contentious. Youre talking about serious constitutional questions that remain like will there actually be a Vice President in this country, or will all three just actually be sweeped under the rug. Will there actually be any deputy Prime Minister at this point or not. A lot of questions, some easier than others, getting rid of the number of bodyguards that certain parliamentians have, cutting the fat as far as other spending will be easier to deal with, but harder questions go to the heart of the fragile balance that exists in this country. As you mentioned, weve heard a lot about the abolition of these top posts, you mentioned other proposals put forward, but what did he say is abadi actually suggesting happens here to cut corruption . Abadis talking about streamlining government. Hes talking about cutting wasteful spending. It hasnt been as specific as far as what exactly that wasteful spending is. Hes also talking about going after corrupt politicians. Who are they . Have they been charged . Which parties do they belong to. This is stuff he can suspended to possibly cause tension. Weve spoken to lawmakers who believe that this is when the arguments might break out as far as these types of issues, because it really is going to affect the political balance in this country. Now, these politicians certainly are between a rock and a hard place right now, because anyone whos seen as trying to solve this process is going to take a beating in the court of public opinion. You have a situation where by now, the people protesting feel their voices are heard, they feel they are making a difference and think that power from on top here is actually listening to them, but when it comes to parliament, dew that delicate balance here, the sectarian ambulance, thats where its going to be difficult. Laura. Ok, well leave it there, thanks for joining us there from baghdad. The Turkish Military says its launched attacks on 17 targets at the Kurdistan Workers Party or p. K. K. In the southeastern province. Russia says draft ideas are being discussed to fight isil. Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov made comments after meeting his saudi counter part in moscow. Saudi arabia says syrias president , who russia has supported has no place in the countrys future. We have discussed the crisis in syria. We have underlined the importance of resolving the Syrian Crisis by political means. Weve underlined that the kingdom of saudi arabia on syria has not changed and based on the provisions of the first geneva communique and Bashar Al Assad has no future in stir i cant. We believe that the main source, the main reason behind the creation of isil was the behavior of Bashar Al Assad, because he directed his weapons not against isil, but against his own people. Thats why we do not see a place for Bashar Al Assad in syrias future. Russia is not part of the u. S. Led coalition which launched thousands of airstrikes against isil in iraq and syria since august and that is often criticized the campaign. Sergey lavrov said it was counter productive for the u. S. To expand air operations in syria by providing air cover to u. S. Trained rebels. Moscow believes the white house should cooperate with syrias president to defeat isil and view Bashar Al Assad as a partner against the isil enemy. It said it will supply weapons to fight the armed group. We have more from moscow. The language used in this press conference was very heavy in terms like possibility and phrases like continuing discussions. Very little was said about actual hard policy. There is much that thieves two countries disagree on but perhaps an issue they are broadly on the same page is isil. We heard that saudi arabia and russia are talking about how they might collaborate with their Security Forces in combating isil. We also heard about a potential coalition by which the two countries, saudi arabia and russia might get together to combat isil, as well, but not very much in terms of what form either of these proposals might sake. There is more that separates than unifies them, we can look at future which assad in syria. Saudi arabia said there can be no future for Bashar Al Assad in syrias political framework. Assad is obviously an ally of russia and russia has been standing by him for many, many years. Japan restarted the Nuclear Reactor at its power station.

Japans Prime Minister who overturned the previous decision to phase out nuclear power, this is an important part of his economic recovery plan. Fossil fuel imports have caused electricity costs to jump by a quarter since the fukushima disaster. The majority of the electorate still opposes a return to nuclear energy. The government said the restart was a decision by the Power Company. There is no question to the people that this is driven by the Prime Minister. The numbers here mitt be relatively small but polls suggest that 60 of japanese people are against the plan. Residents living nearby are divided in their opinion.

It is likely to be passed on thursday. The greek government that majority that can be enforced by opposition parties that will most likely vote for the new bill.

Were waiting to see the bill in its draft to be submitted later today to the parliament to see which exact measures the Greek Parliament has to vote on thursday. How are those measures going to hurt greeks . What austerity is that going to, the very austerity that seeks its party not to bring . Right now, greece has entered recession since even the Second Quarter of the year, but we have to take notice that the institutions, the creditors in greece have agreed on lower fiscal targets for the next year. That means the austerity will be there, but it will not be as hard as in previous discussions, especially in the june discussions, so there will be austerity measures ahead, but it will not be as tough as thought in the previous time.

Poland agreed to accept Asylum Seekers to help stem the migrant crisis, but the decision has not been widely welcomed. Poland is not a country with a migration problem. Add an accommodation center, Refugee Families wait for the outcome of their asylum claims. They are relatively few in number and most come from neighboring ukraine. Migrants from further afield are viewed with deep suspicion. Im afraid that its going to happen Something Like in france, when with that they wanted to take the public places. I think we have to protect sort of our beliefs and our culture. These men fled wartorn syria, exchanging Home Decorating work for polish language lessons, they asked that we protect their identities. They are among a group of 50 families recently accepted into poland, but specifically because they are christians, not muslims. We are working with christian leaders, with bishops, with priests in syria, because we really needed to know that the people we are bringing, they are safe to bring. What do you mean by that . When theres a conflict in syria, theres isis, theres terrorists, theres a war going on and we dont want to import terrorist to say poland. Do you think countries like poland should take more people from syria, like yourself should help more people . I think poland now is, we have to thank her for getting us. I dont know how to dictate that to them, but if they can, please. As poland agrees to take its place helping if only a little built to ease the migrant crisis, its clear there is some sort of a debate taking place here. No to islam, no to islamaphobia. Its a debate with narrow parameters and the basis for it is fear. The present government has shown some willingness to compromise, but a likely victory for the right in autumn elections may see this narrow opening to migrants shut. Al jazeera, warsaw.

Church leaders and peace activists take part, including well known philosopher cornell west. Weve got black president , black attorney general, head of homeland security, whos black and still cant deliver justice for poor people and black people. So now, we are moving toward pressure on the federal government. Some have come from out of state. This 13yearold girl is from ferguson.

All in all, a couple hundred people acting under the banner of ferguson descended on the federal courthouse with a message for the department of justice. About 50 climbed the barricades, pushing up against police as the crowd chanted and cheered them on. In less than an hour, they were arrested. This has been a textbook case of civil disobedience.
