qaida and al qaeda no longer permit these drone attacks in the country they need a base. from which to fly really very much more involved in terms of both the u.s. and the u.k. . british m.p. jeremy corbin thinks the u.k. and america risk making grave mistakes and repeating old ones by getting involved in yemen if the west goes in with our starts bombing on behalf of unclear who then i think that will make the situation markedly worse yemen has huge poverty and social issues it's the poorest country in the region it's median age a population is less than eight i mean it's the greatest social discrepancies of any country in the whole region the last thing it needs is more bombing what it needs is peace what it needs is people coming together and it needs overseas aid to help develop any government or political unity. to bring together all of the factions and all of the interests across the yemen i cannot believe that drove you to bring this about and in their haste to be involved the u.s. looked to me like you're in danger of making all the mistakes they made in afghanista

had been cooperate in with yemeni counterterrorism forces in targeting al qaida but they've since left the field preoccupy. it is that with the nationwide turmoil against the sollie regime that means the americans are likely to have a freer hand going it alone with the cia to take a central role because the agency is not subject to the accountability the us military is legally under expect more bombs to fall on yemen when the us starts to hit people who are numbers alongside a new arabian peninsula and then i think the real worry is that it expands this war to the point where so many people join up with al-qaeda their security in yemen over the killing of scores of civilians by the drone strikes in one attack there the american military presumably ming at an al qaida training camp ended up killing dozens of women and children in another strike a year ago a drone mistakenly killed a deputy governor in yemen his family and eight with the expansion of the wrong war it seems that was the signal the amidst all the fighting on the fly that analysts say some of the maintenance of the all the

the cia is reportedly building a secret air base in the persian gulf to target al qaida terrorists in yemen the plan is man's a strong. it's america's military presence there was the u.s. saying it's concerned militants makes boyd the current unrest in the country to seize power by reports introducing cia spooks will move the operation into the legal shadows. the decision to pass the cia with tracing. marks a major escalation of america's covert war in yemen which is not really covert it's one of the on an undeclared wars that the u.s. is waging against terror but up to this day in yemen it's been the u.s. military that was running the show that was carrying out the drone strikes so if in cooperation with the yemeni counterterrorism units but now get that power vacuum and all the political turmoil in yemen the cooperation is falling apart and according to u.s. officials because the cia operates under different legal authorities than the military the cia will have quote greater latitude to carry out strikes no matter what the political climate they are greater latitude in other words t

so very washington now sees yemen as the most dangerous al qaida outpost and he's planning to step up drone attacks on the country establishing a base in the persian gulf specifically for that purpose especially now when hans replacement i am an also worry it's got to be building up all kind has already significant presence in the image of. the u.s. had been cooperated with yemeni counterterrorism forces in targeting al qaida but they've since left the field preoccupy. why it is that with the nationwide turmoil against the sollie regime that means the americans are likely to have a freer hand going it alone with the cia to take a central role because the agency is not subject to the accountability the us military is legally under expect more bombs to fall on yemen when the us starts to hit people who are members of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula then i'd be real worry is that in the experiences war to the point where so many people join up with al-qaeda their security in yemen over the killing of scores of civilians by the drone strikes in one attack they are the american military

qaida which are not and figure out how to bring a government back in place and this is why i've been critical of the drone strikes in pakistan we have too often gone after someone and killed them but in the process killed five innocents this is what we can do and this is why i'm a big proponent of going in physically boots on the ground we special operations guys and stepping away from the drones drones you think we need special guys in yemen you think we need more than pakistan you think and i need them in libya as well i think when we have to have. by force we have to be a lot more considerate of how we apply force don't forget that's why they decided to do the raid on bin laden that way they could have gone a drone strike at any time but for better or for worse the raid went down you had boots on the ground they grabbed earth killed a guy that needed to grab him and came out and there is very little collateral damage so it's better than to have a few or less collateral damage i guess but i guess at the expense of violating all kinds of international laws when it comes to nation so

qaida is overstated for that very reason because using as the bogeyman in order to get us to invest in his government i'm not discounting the threat entirely but i don't think it's anything like what sally is said to us and we bought bad who are quiet and sinker apparently but it also gives us an excuse to stay there and try to keep the country stable saudi arabia's interest in yemen is profound and if yemen is going to go some way that the saudis don't particularly like the saudis are going to step in and make sure that it doesn't happen if i were doing something with a regional partner right now and i were doing something aimed at yemen that's whom i would be working with be working with riyadh's got its own problems i watched an interview today by professors very astute in saudi affairs and she said something like seventy percent of the people were under thirty and have a college education in many cases and have no jobs just an eight hundred dollars stock came from the government it comes from basically from all revenues this is no way to build a future so saudi arabia is sitting

for the authorities there are trying to break various terrorist cells and there are a connection with al qaida and if you talk about that you started for example the same republic where the events are unfolding right now just last week the our police found and destroyed what they called was a factory of death an underground weapons factory where they found numerous homemade explosive devices will be more controls which could have been used in terrorist attacks across the entire a country also just last week police announced that they've eliminated personal been will be have been searching for since last a new year's day he was supplying a terrorist attack which went wrong actually the female suicide bomber who was supposed to all conducted exploded before her she could she could conduct this this terrible job of hers so the fighting is going on in that region and it is. like the president says it's very important to keep security very straight and. he's gorgeous you know reporting live from moscow thanks for that. still to come here on r t stripping millions of people want their privacy

qaida militants have managed to escape from a challenge yemen now turned serjeant's attacked the prison from outside they targeted security guards and seize their weapons killing at least one officer in jail is believed to house more than one hundred key al qaeda members among those who broke out were prisoners convicted on terror charges months of unrest in yemen have led to fears of al qaeda is growing influence. syria has poured scorn on you moves to impose sanctions saying it will simply forget europe is on the map a violent crackdown against anti-government activists in the country has left hundreds dead since the uprising began in march because activists are calling for president bashar asad to step down meanwhile the u.n. secretary general ban ki moon has renewed his supplies to allow humanitarian missions into the country. the u.s. president is expected to confirm later today his decision to cut american forces in afghanistan by a third rock obama has called the scale of the withdrawal significant and said troops will start to return home by joe long the afghan defense ministry

well now they decided to task the cia with chasing down al qaida yemen and that marks a major escalation of america's covert war in yemen which is not really covert it's one of the undeclared wars that the u.s. is waging against terror but up to this day in yemen it's been the u.s. military that was running the show that was carrying out the drone strikes sort of in cooperation with the yemeni counter in counter terrorism units but now amid the power vacuum and all the political turmoil in yemen the cooperation is falling apart and courting to u.s. officials because the cia operates on a different legal authorities than the military the cia will have greater latitude to carry out strikes no matter what the political climate there greater latitude in other words they don't have to ask anybody's permission to go in the country the yemeni leader who is now out of the country have to months of violent popular revolt against him and his government for many years had been supported by the u.s. in exchange for letting americans go after all hiding in yemen and as we can. often covering up for t

nothing that would strengthen the hand of al qaida and promote them a western intervention in yemen particularly the west who supported presence for all these years sold him large numbers of arms and weaponry and now seem to be opposing him in all that to try and create some of the settlement i think the western role should be to try and promote a political dialogue between the various factions which is not impossible to achieve that and try to bring about some kind of resolution and peace there but if the west goes in with our. starts bombing on behalf of. who then i think that will make the situation markedly worse yemen has huge poverty and social issues it's the poorest country in the region its median age of population is less than eighty and it has the greatest social discrepancies of any country in the whole region the last thing it needs is more bombing what it needs is peace what it needs is people coming together and it needs overseas aid to help it develop its historical reason why to get involved in yemen i mean obviously used to control part of yemen maybe wants to gain ground over

in exchange for letting americans go after al qaida in yemen as we could make cables showed often taking credit for the u.s. drone strike we have to remember that scores of civilians were killed in those strikes so the support of the yemeni authorities was much needed for the u.s. to carry on with the operations on the other hand the government those alley abdulhadi abdulla salah who's been in power for some thirty years was so unpopular in recent years among the people of yemen that many analysts say it was only due to the u.s. support that salah had stayed in power for so long before your salary needed the u.s. and the u.s. needed solly but now with the political turmoil there the u.s. shows they will continue to bomb yemen whether or not they have to commission to do so from actually the people of this country pakistan is one example of a popular revolt against the cia drone strike thousands of civilians were killed by the u.s. drones drone attacks and no one was held responsible for that even though the pakistani parliament has demanded to stop the strike the country's leadership con
