ALJAZAM News September 20, 2014

Return home to turkey. Doctors in sierra leone say they dont have enough staff to identify abowl la victims. The nationwide lockdown continues. And keeping it cool. We find out about the fridges that stay cold even when the power goes out. Yemeni Government Troops and hout this, thi rebels still fighting. The rebels have been shelling the international and state television headquarters. Reporter these are the latest clashes on saturday morning. The Northern Hills of the city turning as fighters clash with the army. Through most of the day and on friday the houthies take major highways, attack some universities. Houthies try to gain more grou ground. Their fighters continue fighting while their protesters march through the streets. We agreed on a number of points that it would substitute the basis for agreement. I realized the situation in sa naa has deteriorated. Im sorry for the use of these weapons at a time were doing our best to teach a resolution to the crisis. For the most part the government has been on leniency, now its critics claim its lenient. They want to delay giving up their weapons. The armor deal was broken by the end. The houthies want their stronghold to be part of the territory under their jurisdiction. Reports from sanaa, yesterday he were describing the sense of fear on the streets, that this could become some kind of civil war. The situation got worse in his opinion in the capitol of sanaa, what is your assessment . David, clashes have been the fiercest over the last couple of days, and the government has succeeded in causing huge casualties among the hout this hi lines. There are signs and hope that agreements can be reached in the next few hours, but again this is yemen and rumors come and go. There is optimism that there is a chance of a ceasefire being reached tonight. In terms of the organization, this has been going on for several months now. They are not just a bunch of tribal fighters who have come together with a few odds and end of weaponry. They appear to be well equipped and well organized. Theyre very well organized. They are all loyal to the primary liter of the houthi movement. That keeps them very organized. Its not a twohead movement. Its a onehead movement that has complete control over its followers. The weapons that the houthi ha have, have been taken from the yemeni sixyear war. When the houthi defeated the military, they took over the Largest Military storage in the country. So yes, theyre well armed. And in my opinion, they are as well armed as the government, if you put aside the air force. Would the houthi be able to say, we got some of what we want. If so, what would that mean to the possible fragmentation of yemen. Lets make it clear, if the houthi have a role in the government policy, which i suspect they will, they will have a very Strong Influence in the Foreign Policy. Thats where more tension will come. Theyll want more control in the Foreign Policy. Theyll want more influence in the national security. And when this happens, this is when the second round of clash also take place because im not sure that the government is willing to give the houthies too much control very quick. Thats what theyll be demanding in the next couple of months. Just one final point, hakeem, if you feel that the houthi will want more influence in the Foreign Policy, will the americans will be able to continue their drone attacks, which have been unsettling to the say the very least. That is at the top of the agenda. They will not allow u. S. Drones to roam the skies of yemen, or there will be enough against them that will lead to the reduction of u. S. Drone strikes. Yes, that is on the list. To be at the top of the list, and to have less u. S. Presence or influence in the countrys Foreign Policy and national security. Thank you, editor in chief of the yemen post. Thank you very much, indeed. Thank you. 49 turkish hostages who have been held by isil in iraq have been returned home. Turkey denies paying a ransom to secure their freedom. We have this report. Reporter reunited with their families after more than three months in captivity they release marked the end of the turkey hostage crisis. The group arrived in the capitol on saturday. Today is not only a Celebration Day for you and your families, it is a very significant day for the whole nation. I wish from god that all of our days in the future will be as good as this one, and we will never experience such a sadness ever again. The hostages were captured by the Islamic State in iraq and the levant back in june. They included diplomatic staff, children, and special force police. It was not immediately clear what turkey had done to secure their release. Turkish media reported that no ransom was paid, and that there was no armed confrontation with the rebels. The government says that it was a preplanned mission led by its intelligence agency. Yesterday at 11 30 at night the rescue operation that had been going on for days had finally reached its final stage. We had worked so hard for months to reach the outcome of today. I want to thank the members of the Turkish Intelligence Service who worked so hard with all kinds of sacrifices. Drivers were also captured in june, but they were freed a month later. When the second group of hostages were not set free as well questions were raised as to what they were doing to secure their release. It was a big political failure on the turkish government, and it was a political victory for the turkish government. Turkey said it would not sign up for the military coalition in fighting isles. The reason was widely believed the government feared the consequences. But some analysts think that wont change even though the hostages are safe. Theyll be a reluctant member of this coalition that has been cobbled by the United States. Turkey has clearly indicated that its territory and air space will not be used in any combat operations. With the war in syria raging along turkeys southeastern border, they may have to take on a more active role in the fight against isil. Al jazeera. Well, 45,000 syrian scrods crossed into turkey in just one day to escape isil. Turkey is already nearly home to 850,000 syrian refugees. No. Iraq thousands of supporters have taken to the streets in baghdad. Well get more from the iraqi capitol. What in particular are they demonstrating about . Reporter well, david, was a show of strength. What they wanted to do was to say that baghdad is under their control. Theyre able and willing to defend baghdad if the need is there. This is what they call defensive peace platoons. Theyre not there on an offensive capacity. Theyre not there to fight anybody but there to defend. It was really a rally of support. Iwe have heard in the past that he said hes opposed to any u. S. Presence in iraq. Saying that hell resist them and fight with the americans on the ground. This time around he issued a statement saying the territory sovereignty, and is against the u. S. In iraq. It plays well for his domestic audience, and comes of back when general dempsey was speaking to the u. S. About no boots on the ground. But today it was about showing strength in numbers in baghdad. Thank you. There have been two explosions in a munitions in the ukraine city of donetsk. A shell hit a store of explosives, causing another blast. It happens as there was another step towards a peaceful solution. Two sides have signed a deal to finalize an initial ceasefire agreed to two weeks ago. Its the latest attempt to end the conflict that so far has killed 3,000 people in five months. Government in kiev and the separatists have agreed to establish a 30kilometer buffer zone along the front line. The plan also calls for foreignarmed groups and weapons to leave the ukrainian territory. And the two sides have agreed to deploy or now the deployment of an International Team to monitor the ceasefire. Reporter the peace talks were supposed to inject confidence into the ceasefire since september 95, although there have been repeated violations with casualties on both sides, and reports of more fighting overnight and into today. Whats been discussing and what has apparently been agreed is the creation of a buffer zone where the Ukrainian Forces and the pro russian rebels would withdraw their heavy artillery pieces back from the conflict zone 15 kilometers. So you would have a 30kill mere buffer zone free of heavy weaponry. Were told this would take affect in the next 24 hours. Floods cause 200,000 people to leave their homes in the philippines.

There has been successful between pro and antiindependent supporters in scotlands city of glasgow. Scotland rejected independence and chose to stay. After that the Scottish First minister said that he would be stepping aside. He was the man who led the campaign for independence. Prime minister David Cameron promised to deliver more powers to scotland. What are these people trying to say . Theyve come to demonstrate, but what about . We did meet some of the campaigners, the people behind us in a different celebration. Here in edinburgh and the rest of scotland theyre paying attention to the political dance and fancy foot work of the politicians and whether theyll deliver on the promises made in the run up to the referendum vote. There are a mix of feelings here. Part of relief and on the part of those who voted yes, there is the feeling that scotland is in limbo. I spoke with some members of the yes campaign about how they feel about moving thing forward. I just feel we need to Work Together as a country, one voice. Give westminster a chance to deliver on the promises. I think as a nation of alienated people we are strong, strong sense of identity. I would still like to see independence. I dont think its over yet. Saying that we wont have another referendum in our lifetime, but i think within two years we will have another independence referendum, and we will win it. You know, one day. To be honest i think westminster, we need it and want it. Demonstrations of fancy foot work, im wondering why the sense of frustrate when it is only slightly more than 24 hours. Why are these people worried that westminster wont deliver on what its promised. Its not just the prime minister. Its the other party leaders, too. I think the reason that there is that feeling of frustration is that here in scotland the campaign engaged a lot of people who hadnt really been touched by politics before. And i think that level of. Gainment builds up all of this positive energy that perhaps change was possible. They dont trust the politicians to deliver. They said they would have a timetable to deliver that timetable. That has not happened. Thats the first we heard him talking again in th another scottish city this morning. And he said this will be a debate in october.
