The Yemen government and southern separatists, both part of a Saudi-led coalition fighting the rebel Houthis, have signed a deal to end a power struggle.

In August, the STC-dominated Security Belt Forces took control of Aden, which had served as the beleaguered government's base since it was ousted from the capital Sanaa by Huthi rebels in 2014.

"In the short term, the agreement will allow the coalition to stick together and focus their efforts on fighting the Huthis instead of each other," said Elisabeth Kendall, senior research fellow at Oxford University. In a bid to defuse tensions, the UAE last month handed over to Saudi forces key positions in Aden, including an airbase and the international airport.The fighting had exposed simmering divisions between Saudi Arabia and the UAE, leading members of the coalition that intervened in Yemen in 2015 as the Huthi rebels closed in on Aden, prompting Hadi to flee into Saudi exile.

Mohammed al-Jaber, the Saudi ambassador to Yemen, said Tuesday's agreement will send a"strong message" to the Huthis to come to the negotiating table, paving the way to end the war.

Mobile speed camera signs are 'working' but more police on roads is required | Sky News AustraliaNRMA’s Peter Khoury says mobile speed camera signs are “working the way they should be” as the NSW government will raise more than $200 million this year from the signs. \n\nThe New South Wales government is reconsidering scrapping warning signs for mobile speed cameras.\n\nThe NSW Auditor General wants warning signs ahead of mobile speed cameras removed and have argued they do little to prevent drivers from speeding. \n\n“The NRMA has said all along the most effective role to change behaviour is by having more police on the roads,” he said. \n\n“Cameras have a role to play, we think they should come with warning signs but ultimately NRMA are huge supporters of police.\n\n“There is no doubt we have to do something, the road toll is terrible and we are staring down another horrible year on our roads.\n\n“We need to look at adopting measures that can have a genuine impact, just removing signs may not necessarily do what we want it to do.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Long term road works should have cameras, so many speed through, no care for road workers or the slower cars obeying the signs So you’re booking the dim witted ones as nature intended. Cant wait for self driving cars...where will the revenue come from...poor people?

'Necessary and essential': Leading motoring body says speed camera warning signs are crucialThe NSW government is considering removing speed camera warning signs in the state, but the NRMA says they are essential to road safety. Um... necessary to remind you to slow down, because it's fine ahead? It’s always about the revenue. In Australia it seems govts can't even pretend it's anything but taxation by 'Speedlotto'. If someone passes a camera at 150km/h, that should set off an alarm to a nearby police car, instead they hit the 'raise invoice' button. Priorities

Matildas sign historic equal pay dealFor the first time in world football, the Socceroos and Matildas will earn the same pay packets as part of a landmark pay deal. What a load of crap - it’s like reserves at Braybrook being paid the same as AFL Richmond 1sts. Apples with mushrooms. That’s great...the women deserve equal pay considering they are far more highly ranked than the guys It’s probably the right decision, after all, the crowd sizes are similar.
